-
- INSTALLING BIP
-
- The program is distributed compressed into a zip file (BIP.ZIP) and
- must be unzipped before installing. The shareware version requires
- VBRUN300.DLL to be in your windows\system directory VBRUN300.DLL is
- available for downloading from most online services and BBS's such as
- compuserve, aol and others.
-
- The file MSAJT110.DLL was left out of the installation set, to save
- download space and time, therefore cost!
-
- The file MSAJT110.DLL is required for using the custom filters
- feature of BIP but is NOT REQUIRED for running the program.
- If you don't have the file, BIP will give an error message when
- it starts, you can ignore the message, the application will run
- sucessfully.
-
- Like VBRUN300.DLL the file MSAJT110.DLL is available for downloading
- from most online services and BBS's such as compuserve, aol and
- others.
-
- The program is distributed along with an "install" program. The
- install program will prompt you for an install directory into which
- it will place all required files to run BIP. It is recommended that
- you accept the default directory suggested during the install
- process.
-
- To run BIP's install program, use Windows' Program Manager; select
- FILE | Run from Program Manager's menu and enter the path where the
- downloaded BIP files are currently located along with the file name
- INSTALL.EXE. The install program will place all required files into
- a directory (the default is C:\BIP). The install program will then
- create a BIP Program Group and insert one icon for BIP.
-
- It is also necessary, to use the user modifiable database of image
- filters, to have Share.exe installed in your autoexec.bat
- OR
- if you use Windows in enhanced mode VSHARE.386 must be installed as a
- windows virtual device driver. VSHARE.386 is available for free
- from Microsoft, and many online services and BBS's
-
- Once the install program has created its own directory and program
- group and you have tested to assure the program runs correctly, you
- may delete all the BIP files in your download directory.
