- *****************************************
- How to install DiaLog on your hard disk:
- *****************************************
-
- DiaLog will install itself on your hard disk in the default directory
- c:\DiaLog or in a directory of your choice. It will also optionally
- create a program group window with icons for executing DiaLog.
-
- This program will not effect any other program or directory on your system.
- No modifications will be made to any of the files such as AutoExec.Bat,
- Config.Sys, Win.Ini, or any others.
-
- DiaLog requires the library file 'VBRUN200.DLL' to reside in your Windows
- directory, or a directory in your PATH. It is available on CompuServe in
- the WinADV forum as 'VBRUN2.ZIP'.
-
- The following files make up the DiaLog installation package and should all
- reside together in the same directory for the installation to succeed:
- (Pleas note DiaLog files start with 'Dial' for easy identification.)
-
- Install.Exe The installation program
- Install.In$ Part of the installation program
- DialLog.Exe The DiaLog program
- DialHelp.Hlp The DiaLog help file
- DialRgst.Txt Registration form to register DiaLog
- DialRead.Txt This file
- MyHelp.Hlp A sample help file
-
- - Installation -
-
- The installation procedure assumes you have created an Installation disk
- from the FoneW.Exe file. To obtain the installation diskette type:
- FoneW a:\ or FoneW b:\
- This will create the installation diskette on drive a: or b:, assuming you
- are in the directory where FoneW.Exe is located. Label it as: 'DiaLog for
- Windows Installation Disk'.
-
- 1. From the Windows Program Manager Menu select: <File> <Run ..>
-
- 2. Enter the path where your installation disk resides and add the
- installation program name. ( a:\Install or b:\Install )
-
- 3. The installation program will suggest c:\DiaLog as the directory for
- the DiaLog program. You may change the disk identifier and the
- directory name. However, do NOT add another level of sub directory,
- unless the sub directory exists. If you have a previous version of
- DiaLog already installed, just let "Install" install it on top of it.
-
- 4. The installation program will ask you if you want to create a program
- group window. You should answer 'yes', because you can always ask
- windows to move or delete it later. This provides you with ready-to-run
- icons. (See 'Deleting DiaLog from your system' later in this document.)
- If you already have a previous version of DiaLog with icons, then you
- should answer no, or you will have two sets of icons. (You can always
- delete one set.)
-
- 5. You are told the program has been successfully installed.
-
- You are now ready to execute DiaLog. Simply double click on the DiaLog
- icon. DiaLog contains extensive help information. (Don't forget,
- VBRUN200.DLL must be in your Windows directory, or any other directory that
- is in your PATH.
-

- ********************************
- Deleting DiaLog from your system
- ********************************
-
- Use Windows to delete each item in the DiaLog program group by selecting
- the icon and then selecting <Delete> from the Program Manager <File> menu.
-
- After all icons have been deleted, delete the program group in the same way.
-
- If you do NOT also have DiaLog for DOS installed in the same directory,
- delete all files in the DiaLog directory, and finally the DiaLog
- directory itself.
-
- If DiaLog for DOS also resides in the same directory and you want to keep
- it, only delete the following files:
-
- DialLog.exe
- DialHelp.hlp
- DialRead.txt
- DialRgst.txt
-
-
- ******************
- DiaLog TO OTHERS:
- ******************
-
- There are two ways you are permitted to pass the DiaLog program to other
- people. One way is by simply passing on the compressed file (FoneW.Exe)
- and the preferred way is by executing FoneW.Exe to a diskette, which
- copies the following files to a single disk (All the files listed MUST be
- included WITHOUT modification.) Name that disk 'DiaLog Installation':
-
- Install.Exe The DiaLog Installation program
- Install.In$ Part of the installation system
- DialLog.Exe The DiaLog program
- DialHelp.Hlp The DiaLog Help File
- DialRead.Txt An info file to be read before installation
- DialRgst.Txt A registration form to register DiaLog
-
- You may optionally include the file VBRUN200.DLL.
-
- NO OTHER FILES MAY BE INCLUDED ON THAT DISK.
-
- Anyone wishing to charge a fee for distributing DiaLog to others, must have
- been recognized by the ASP (Association of Shareware Professionals),
- otherwise the distributor is guilty of copyright violation.
-
-
- **********************
- THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT:
- **********************
-
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors through
- bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and copies passed among
- friends and acquaintances. It is commercial software which you are allowed
- to try before you pay for it. This makes Shareware the ultimate in money
- back guarantees.
-
- With Shareware you get to try a program for a reasonable limited time
- (30-45 days), without spending any money other than perhaps for downloading
- from a bulletin board or paying a Shareware distributor a small fee for his
- disk. You are able to use the software on your own computer, in your own
- work environment. If you decide the program is not for you, you remove it
- from your computer and erase all copies, including the data files. If you
- do decide to keep it, then - and only then - do you pay for it.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. Shareware is
- produced by accomplished programmers, just like retail software. There is
- good and bad Shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
- primary difference between Shareware and retail software is that with
- Shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- The Shareware system and the continued availability of quality Shareware
- products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the Shareware
- you keep. The registration fees you pay allow Shareware producers to
- support and continue to develop their products. Please show your support
- for Shareware by registering those programs you actually keep and use and by
- passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by your support!
