- Version 1.4

- This file contains installation instructions and license information.
-
- NOTE: Version 1.4 is the final release of Envelop. The Envelop project
- was funded by CIMLINC, Inc., a leading supplier of solutions to the
- discrete parts manufacturing industry. As part of CIMLINC's ongoing
- efforts to focus on its core solutions business, we have decided to
- discontinue development of the Envelop tools. The members of the Envelop
- project team are grateful for the enthusiasm shown by the Internet
- community toward our project. Anyone interested in obtaining exclusive
- rights to the Envelop source code may contact us at:
-
- Envelop
- 1222 Hamilton Parkway
- Itasca, IL 60143
-
- PLEASE NOTE: Envelop requires Windows '95 or NT 3.51 to install
- and run properly. If you do not have one of these operating systems,
- you must upgrade your system before installing Envelop.
-
- The following text files are included on the first installation disk,
- and also are installed to the Envelop Program directory:
- - NOTES.TXT: release notes, i.e. what's new since previous release
- - STORY.TXT: the Envelop story, who we are, and why we are
- - LICENSE.TXT: license agreement for Envelop software
-
- Please read these files carefully before running Envelop.
-
- Setup instructions from electronic download:
- 1. Close all running applications.
- 2. In a temporary directory, decompress the self-extracting archive by running it.
- Use the Run command from either the Start button menu (Windows 95) or the
- File Menu of the Program Manager (Windows NT) to invoke the self-extracting
- archive (e.g. "FENVELOP.EXE"). This requires approximately 8M of disk space.
- 3. Invoke the Envelop setup program (SETUP.EXE) from the temp directory
- where you unpacked the archive. Again, use the Start button or the Program
- Manager's File menu to select Run, then enter the path or browse to select the
- Envelop setup program.
- 4. Follow the on-screen instructions as given by the setup program. A complete
- installation requires approximately 20M of free disk space on the target drive.
- 5. When the installation is complete, you may delete all the files from the temp
- directory where you placed the contents of the archive. You may wish to keep a
- backup copy of the archive itself in case you want to re-install Envelop.
-
- Setup instructions from floppy diskettes:
- 1. Close all running applications.
- 2. Insert disk 1 in your 3.5" floppy drive (A:).
- 3. Choose the File Menu from the Windows Program Manager and select Run.
- 4. Type A:\setup and press ENTER.
- 5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
-
- Getting started:
-
- The "Introduction" and "Tutorials" sections of the Envelop online help file
- enable you to start using Envelop immediately. To display the help file,
- start Envelop and choose Help|Envelop Help Topics from the main
- menu bar, or just double-click on the file ENVELOP.HLP (installed in the
- directory HELP, under the directory containing your Envelop installation).
-
- Included in the "Introduction" section are a tour of the main tools for
- working with objects in the Envelop system, and information about the
- samples included with the Envelop distribution.
-
- The "Tutorials" section contains step-by-step exercises that introduce
- you to the processes of working with objects as components and
- applications, including how to analyze the techniques used in the samples.
-
- NOTES
- 1. It is important that the C:\ENVELOP\PROGRAM directory appears
- in your PATH environment variable in order for Envelop to run properly.
- From version 1.0.1 on, the setup program for Envelop tries to ensure that this
- is the case, but there are some circumstances under which the setup
- program cannot force the program directory into your path. If this happens
- you should manually alter your PATH so the Envelop program directory
- is part of your search path.
-
- LICENSE
- The license agreement is found on disk 1 in the file LICENSE.TXT. By
- running this version of Envelop, you agree to the terms and conditions therein.
