Because this version is a 16-bit program, you do not need
to have Win32s(R) installed on your computer.
This release includes Microsoft Windows 3.1 Virtual Machine (VM) for
Java(TM). It supports the same feature set available in Sun JDK 1.02.

INSTALLING MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER
--------------------------------------
Installing from the Internet
----------------------------
To install Microsoft Internet Explorer from the Internet, carry out
the following procedure.
Important
For the 40-bit version of Internet Explorer, the name of the download
file is Dlful30f.exe. For the 128-bit version, you determine the file name
at the time you download it.
1. Create a temporary directory on your computer.
2. Choose to download Microsoft Internet Explorer from the Internet,
and save the download file to the temporary directory.
3. In File Manager, run the download file to extract the program files.
4. Read the instructions below for LAN installations and for installing
with existing TCP/IP connections.
5. In File Manager, run Setup.exe. Setup installs files in the
directory you specify.
Note
If you are upgrading to a newer version of Internet Explorer and
choose to install the program in a different directory from your
original version, please refer to the following section, "Upgrading
over Earlier Versions," for further instructions.
6. Run Internet Explorer.
Upgrading over Earlier Versions
When upgrading to a newer version of Internet Explorer, you can choose to
install the program into the same directory as your previous version
or establish another directory. If you choose the former, your previous
dialer settings and connection(s) will be preserved. However, if you choose
the latter, you must do the following in order to use your pre-existing
dialer settings and connection(s):
1. If you install to a new directory, but keep your existing program
group, you must change the properties of any dialer program item(s)
you previously created so that the Command Line and Working Directory
settings point to the appropriate directories. (Note that the New
Connections program item does not need to be modified.) You do this by
clicking the dialer program item, choosing Properties from the File
menu, and replacing all references to the existing directory with the
name of new directory. For example, if you install an upgrade of
Internet Explorer to a new directory named NEWEXPL, the following
change would be required:
Command Line: C:\IEXPLORE\iedial.exe C:\IEXPLORE\CON0000.CON
Working Directory: C:\IEXPLORE
Changes to:
Command Line: C:\NEWEXPL\iedial.exe C:\NEWEXPL\CON0000.CON
Working Directory: C:\NEWEXPL
2. Using File Manager, copy all files with the extension .con
from the previous directory to the new created directory.
3. If during the upgrade you choose to use a new program group,
just follow step 2 and copy the old dialer program items to the new
program group. Repeat step 1 to change the Command Line and Working
Directory settings.
LAN Installations
-----------------
If you already have access to the Internet through your LAN, you will be
able to use the Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse the Internet. (If you
are not sure whether you currently have access, consult your network
administrator.)
If you have access, your LAN administrator should provide you with proxy
servers that also can be used.
To install Internet Explorer, you need to do the following:
- Make sure you have the TCP/IP protocol installed.
- Run the installation in Custom mode, and make sure that the
check box labeled TCP/IP Stack And Dialer is not selected.
Proxy servers can also be used, provided they are CERN compliant.
To enable use of a proxy server
1. On the View menu, click Options.
2. On the Connection tab, select the check box under Proxy
Server, and then click Settings.
3. In the Proxy Settings dialog box, type the address of your
proxy server and change any other necessary settings.
Running on a Remote Installation
--------------------------------
If you will be running Internet Explorer on a diskless workstation:
1. Install Internet Explorer on the server.
2. Copy Iexplore.ini to the client Windows directory.
If you will be sharing a remote installation from a client computer
running Windows 3.1:
1. The following files must be in the client computer's
Windows\System directory:
Comctlie.dll
Vscrpt16.dll
Jscrpt16.dll
Secur16.dll
Security.dll
Msapsp16.dll
Msnssp.dll
Signin16.hlp
Msnath16.hlp
and optionally the following RealAudio files:
Ragui16.dll
Ra16.dll
Ract14_4.dll
Ra3228_8.dll
Pnloader.dll
2. The client computer must have OLE 2.03 or higher installed.
Copying the OLE files will not properly update the system.
3. The file Iexplore.ini should be on the client computer.
4. The Iexplore.ini file should be modified to accomodate
the desired location of favorites, help, cookies, and
other URLs that are specified here.
Before Using the Mail Client
----------------------------
This software contains Internet Mail for Windows 3.1. Internet Mail
enables you to send and receive mail by using the Internet.
In order to use Internet Mail, you need to have an e-mail account.
If you did not use the Internet Connection Wizard to setup Internet Mail,
you need to configure Internet Mail before using it. If it has not been
configured, Internet Mail will ask you to enter the following information:
- The names of the network servers that you use to send and
receive your mail (the name of your POP3 and SMTP servers)
- Your login name and password on the server from which you retrieve
e-mail
- Your
