What is an ODOMETER?

An Odometer is just a sample program who gives you the distance you travel with your mouse. At this 
time, it’s only designed for Windows 95. This program can be accessed from the Windows taskbar just 
like the sound control.

What do I need to run Odometer?

A standard PC where you can run Windows 95 and, of course, a mouse! You need also the Visual 
Basic 32 bit files (VB40032.DLL and OLEPRO32.DLL) to execute this program. If you don’t have 
this one, you can download it on the Microsoft ftp site (ftp.microsoft.com) or on the Web site of my 
homepage (http://perso.club-internet.fr/boudin/).

Installing Odometer.

Open the directory where you previously unzipped the files. Copy the EXE file in you Windows 
directory, for example. Then add a shortcut you tour startup menu using the 
Star/Control Panel/Taskbar.

To start the program.

When you computer starts, Odometer will also start, normally. There’s a shortcut in your Start Menu. If 
the program doesn’t start by itself, point to the directory where Windows is installed (i.e.: c:\windows) 
and then click on the file: Odometer.exe

Uninstalling Odometer.

To uninstall this program, simply open your explorer, and then erase Odometer.exe from the directory 
where you put it. Don’t forget to erase the shortcut if you have created it!
