Welcome to the Windows Memphis Visual Enhancements
==================================================
PLEASE READ THE *WHOLE* OF THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
IT IS ADVISEABLE TO PRINT THIS OUT FIRST, IF POSSIBLE.

The new user interface includes a few enhancements which make
the look and feel of Windows 95 a little more interesting and,
well, fun, I guess (!!!).
These are some of the *actual* enhancements found in the new Windows
Memphis O/S.
Features
--------
1) Smooth new 'roll out' of menu's.
2) Highlighting words as mouse passes over them.
3) 'minimise' 'maximise' 'close' drop down boxes as mouse passes over
the 3 boxes in top-right of each window
4) More animation in Windows Explorer when opening a folder from left.
5) Colour gradient in all windows along the drag/title bar.
Installation:
----------------------IMPORTANT NOTICE-----------------------------
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE INSTALLED, GAMES OR PROGRAMS WHICH WORK
WITH DIRECT X (DIRECT DRAW, DIRECT SOUND) DO NOT WORK.
IF YOU WANT TO USE DIRECTX, FIRST REPLACE YOUR OLD USER.EXE AND
USER32.DLL FILES, SEE HOW; BELOW.
N.B. Replacing and changing these files does NO harm to your system.
Just make sure you do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The installation is very easy.
1. Put these extracted files into a folder on your C: drive called
'Memphis'.
2. Run Setup.exe - the program will exit Win95 and go to DOS.
3. Press Y to agree to terms & conditions etc.
4. After installation, program will re-boot back to Win95 + changes!
5. To uninstall, just run 'setup.exe' from the new folder in your
\windows\system folder called 'memphis'.
6. To re-install repeat the process above. Or just keep the original
memphis directory on your C: drive.
7. Enjoy the enhancements!
These are the real thing - they will be part of the new Windows operating
system.
