Thank you for your interest in WinKillr!!
You will find this utility to be extremely helpful in
controlling the timed shutdown of your applications.
Please be sure to start WinKillr itself before attempting
to use it with other applications. This will assure the
proper path is established in the WINKILLR.INI file in your
WINDOWS directory.
See the on-line help file for further details and suggestions
for use. You can start the on-line help for reference at any
time by starting up WinKillr from its own icon or by double-
clicking on the WINKIL11.HLP file in FileManager or Explorer.
Packing List:
FILE_ID.DIZ - Program description used by BBSs
README.TXT - This file
SETUPWK.EXE - WinKillr's installation program
VENDINFO.DIZ - Distribution information file - partially encoded
VENDOR.TXT - Information of interest to shareware distributors
and BBSs in ASCII format
The files below are in compressed format and will be expanded by
SETUPWK when it is run - they CANNOT be used directly:
HELPFILE.WR_ - The help documentation in Windows Write format
REGISTER.TX_ - Registration form in ASCII format called by
registration procedure
SHAREWAR.TX_ - Information on shareware in ASCII format
called by registration procedure
WINKIL11.EX_ - The executable program file
WINKIL11.HL_ - The Windows help file supporting WinKillr
IMPORTANT: WinKillr is a Microsoft Visual Basic program and
requires that the file VBRUN300.DLL be in the /WINDOWS/SYSTEM
directory (or elsewhere on the path) of your computer. This
file is widely available and hence, because of its very large
size, is not distributed with WinKillr as part of the KILLR_11.ZIP
or KILLR.ZIP archive. It is available on CompuServe in the
WinUtil Forum, Library 1 as VBRUN3.ZIP. It is also available
from virtually every other bulletin board and catalog operation
in the world. Do not proceed with the installation of WinKillr
until you have verified that this file is in your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM
directory OR you are installing from a disk received directly
from Open Windows!!
Installation:
To install WinKillr from a floppy disk received from Open Windows:
1. While in Windows, insert the floppy disk in the drive.
2. Open File Manager or Explorer and select the floppy disk.
3. Double click on the file OWSETUP.EXE to run it.
4. Follow the on-screen directions.
To install WinKillr starting with only a copy of KILLR_11.ZIP
(KILLR.ZIP if obtained from CompuServe):
1. Create a temporary directory (C:\KILLTEMP will do) on your
hard drive.
2. Copy KILLR_11.ZIP to this directory.
3. Unzip the file using WinZip or other "UNZIPper". This
should produce the files listed in the packing list above.
4. Run SETUPWK.EXE from Windows. This will take you through
the procedure of installing WinKillr on your hard disk.
5. You may delete all of the files in the temporary directory
from your hard drive after completing the installation process,
but remember to save a copy of KILLR_11.ZIP on a floppy for
friends who may wish to try WinKillr.
