INSTALLATION
New Installation
To install the evaluation version of WINBOND, create a
subdirectory and copy all the included files into this
subdirectory. Copy the file VBRUN200.DLL, distributed separately,
and available for free) to this same subdirectory.
If you have other programs that require VBRUN200.DLL it is
better to put a single copy in the Windows System subdirectory
rather than have duplicates taking-up space on your hard
drive. GRID.VBX can also be put in this directory.
Upgrade
Copy files into your current WINBOND directory. GRID.VBX does not
have to be copied since it will already exist in your system.
STARTING WINBOND
To start WINBOND, you can simply double-click on
WINBOND.EXE from the Windows File Manager, or define a new
program item in the Program Manager. Once started, you can
select HELP from the menu bar and gain access to all information
for this program.
WINBOND is Shareware, and a registration fee of $15.00 is
required if used past the 30-day evaluation period. When payment
is received you will receive a serialization number which you
can enter in the program. All future upgrades received and
redemption table upgrades will be automatically registered with
this code. See the Registration section in the on-line help
file for additional information on this subject.
