WinPak#1 README.TXT
-------------------
Hello and welcome to the WinPak#1 software package from Rhode
Island Soft Systems, Inc.!
This package contains four unique, custom designed screen saver
modules, two TrueType fonts, and over 100 icons, all for use with
Windows 3.1. This package contains an automated installation
utility that should be used to install the screen saver modules.
It should be noted that registered users of WinPak#1 receive the
full "Deluxe" version of WinPak#1 which contains everything in
this shareware version PLUS 2 more screen savers, 2 more TrueType
fonts, and over 100 more icons!
Most of the files in this package are compressed using the DOS
"COMPRESS" and "EXPAND" utilities. The compressed files end with
an underscore on the distribution diskette, such as
"WINPAK1A.SC_". The installation program will automatically
uncompress these files.
This package must be installed in the main Windows directory,
such as "C:\WINDOWS", or whatever that directory is on your
particular computer. The installation program will ask for this
directory upon start-up. The documentation and other ancillary
files will be placed in a sub-directory called "WINPAK#1", below
the main Windows directory. If you specify "C:\WINDOWS" as your
Windows directory, then the documentation files will be copied to
"C:\WINDOWS\WINPAK#1" for example.
The following information will guide you through installing the
WINPAK#1 files. Once installed, the SETUP program will create a
program group and install icons for the documentation files,
which you can read by clicking on the document's icon.
VERIFICATION OF FILES
---------------------
At this point, please look for all of the files that belong to
the WinPak#1 package. All of the files are listed in the file
PACKING.TXT If the PACKING.TXT file or any of the files listed in
PACKING.TXT are missing, please contact us for an official copy
of WinPak#1 -- it would not be fair to either the user or Rhode
Island Soft Systems, Inc. to have a user evaluate an incomplete
package.

INSTALLING WINPAK#1
-------------------
WinPak#1 is shipped with a comprehensive installation program to
automate traditional installation. To install WinPak#1, you must
be in the Windows environment. To install WinPak#1 we will use
the SETUP program supplied as part of the package.
From Program Manager's main window, select "File". This will
cause a menu to drop down. Next, select "Run...". A dialog box
will pop up requesting a "Command Line".
If the WinPak#1 files are on a floppy disk, insert the diskette
into the A: or B: drive, as appropriate and type either
"A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP", respectively. We must execute the
"SETUP" program that is located on the floppy disk.
If the WinPak#1 files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter
the full drive and directory path to where the WinPak#1 files are
located, such as: "C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP".
Please note that these are just examples -- the directories names
and drives will certainly be different for each individual
computer. The above examples are for illustrative purposes only.
After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER key
or click on the "OK" button.
At this point SETUP will handle the entire process of installing
the WinPak#1 files.
To activate the screen savers, we must first select the "Main"
group in Program Manager. Next, select the "Control Panel" icon.
Finally, within Control Panel, select the "Desktop" icon. The
"Screen Saver" portion of the dialog box will now contain the
WinPak#1 modules in the list of Screen Saver "Names". The
WinPak#1 modules can be easily identified as they are labeled
with "WP1=>".
To install the TrueType fonts, enter the Control Panel from the
Main Program Manager Group. Select the "Fonts" icon in Control
Panel. Next, select "Add" to add the fonts in this package.
Choose "Select All" and then click on the "OK" button. That's
all there is to do -- the fonts are now installed!
To use the icons, simply specify the file "WP1ICON1.DLL" any time
you want to specify an icon, and select any of the icons that
are presented.
The icons in the WP1ICON1.DLL file are included courtesy of
Software Co-Op and are part of a larger package of 1700 icons
published by Villa Crespo Software. Look for LexIcon in a store
near you!
