To install : Quit running any old version. Copy vbsys.dll,
cmdialog.vbx and threed.vbx to your windows/system directory.
(If you already have these files, use the newest one) Copy
vbsys.exe and/or vbsysbar.exe anywhere with vbsys.hlp and
delete any old versions of them if you still have them.
Read the help file for all program and registration details.
Please Register to get the ability to save ALL setting such as
drives to monitor, fonts, colors, stay on top, position on
screen, memory settings, Buttons showing, etc...
Read the help file for all program details. Look carefully at
the button overview, there are MANY features which are easily
overlooked due to the small program size. Do NOT let all the
features confuse you; The ones that you use often are easily
memorized and the others can be looked up quickly in the help
file. And now with The Quick Access Window, it's easy to use
all the features.
To use the VBSys.hlp file: Click anywhere on the running VBSys
program and then press F1 to call up the help file. (Or double
click on the vbsys.hlp file in file manager.)
If you are going to try to use VBSys to monitor a Network Drive
then be sure to read the vbsys.hlp.
If you are going to register primarily to monitor Network
drives, Please test the shareware version out completely on
your Network. The Network portion of VBSys/VBSysBar may Not
work properly on Your particular Network configuration. At this
time I don't see any way to expand the Network portion of the
program without impacting System performance. If the Network
portion does not work on your Network then you can still use
the program very effectively to monitor your system including
all Local Hard Drives without Network Drives which is really
what the program is designed for anyway. The Network Portion is
just an added feature which works on Some Networks.
Windows 95 Info:
This program is compatible with Win 95 but has some limitations.
Most major fuctions appear to work properly under Win 95 except the Memory display. Since Win 95 handles memory completely different, the memory display on the main display is not particularly useful; It shows the amount of memory that Win 95 is managing not including swap file; The amount will never change. (The Detailed Memory info off the more info Window is more informative)
When Visual Basic 4 comes out probably at the end of 1995, I will write a Win 95 update if possible. Until then, I will make sure that VBSys stays compatible.
