Thank you for your interest in WinFlash!!
You will find this program to be extremely helpful in memorizing
scholastic or professional material. Its multi-media graphic
and sound capabilities also make it easy to create your own
trivia-style games for fun!
While WinFlash is very easy to use, I'd still recommend a quick
look at the on-line Help before "jumping in". I hope you'll
find WinFlash both useful and enjoyable!
Thank You,
Dick Bryant

An additional file, WINFLASH.INI, will be created by the program

This file contains the information relating to your default
option settings and should be considered part of the WinFlash
v3.1 file set after its creation.
To install WinFlash v3.1 from a floppy disk received from Open
Windows:
1. While in Windows, insert the floppy disk in the drive.
2. Open File Manager and select the floppy disk.
3. Double click on the file OWSETUP.EXE to run it.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
To install WinFlash v3.1 starting with only a copy of
FLASH_31.ZIP (FLASH.ZIP if obtained from CompuServe):
1. Create a temporary directory (C:\WF will do) on your
hard disk.
2. Copy FLASH_31.ZIP to this directory.
3. UnZip the file using PKUnZip or other "UNZIPper".
This should produce the files listed above.
4. Run SETUPWF.EXE from Windows. This will take you
through the procedure of installing WinFlash v3.1
on your hard disk. Do NOT install the software TO
the temporary directory (C:\WF in the above example).
5. You may delete all of the files in the temporary
directory from your hard disk after completing the
installation process, but remember to save a copy of
FLASH_31.ZIP on a floppy disk for friends who may
want to try WinFlash v3.1.
