0. INTRODUCTION
This file is READ1ST.TXT It contains information about
MOZART and how to install it. You are recommended to
read it first!
1. VERSIONS OF MOZART INCLUDED
Within the installation package there are two versions of
MOZART: version 1, the original program for Windows 3.1
and version 2 for Windows 95 and Windows NT.
If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, then version 2
will install automatically. There is no reason to install
version 1, as it will do nothing which version 2 cannot.
If you are running Windows 3.1 or 3.11, then version 1 will
install automatically (but see "win32s" below). You can run
the installation again if you upgrade to Windows 95 to take
advantage of the extra features of version 2.
IMPORTANT: upward compatibility:
Music files created by MOZART are upwardly compatible. That
is to say that MOZART 2 will read the files created by
MOZART 1 but not vice versa.
Win32s:
Win32s is a library written by Microsoft Corp. in order to
allow some Windows 95 programs to run under Windows 3.1.
It is (in this author's opinion) not always trouble free.
MOZART 2.0 will run under Windows 3.1 on many systems with
Win32s version 1.30.172 (not earlier ones) if they have 8MB
or more of memory. This cannot be guaranteed for all systems.
But if you have an up-to-date version of Win32s running, then
MOZART's installation will detect it and offer you the choice of
installing MOZART v1 or v2.
Win32s is available (at time of writing) over internet from
Microsoft's public ftp server ftp.microsoft.com in the self-
extracting archive file \Softlib\MSLFILES\PW1118.EXE
But Win32s is at best a temporary measure and, at some point,
future versions of MOZART will almost certainly not support it.
2. DISTRIBUTION FILES
There are two forms in which you may have got this version of
MOZART.
A) You got the evaluation version in the form a zip file,
with a name like MOZART20.ZIP, from a bulletin board, via
the internet, or from CompuServe.
You will know how to unzip them with PKUNZIP.EXE and you
will have found this file.
The zip file names may vary: the two digits in the name
reflect the version.
B) You have a floppy disk containing one or more files,
including the installation program SETUP.EXE and this
file READ1ST.TXT
Registered versions are distributed in form (B).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The files from (A) must be unzipped into a
(temporary) directory which must NOT be the directory you
are about to install MOZART into.
3. INSTALLING MOZART
Installation is done by running the program setup.exe supplied
on the distribution disk:
If your distribution files (including setup.exe) are on a floppy
disk in drive a:
If you have the Windows 95 interface, use the usual software
installation procedure in the Control panel, or use "Run" on
the Start Menu to run setup.exe.
If you have the old style windows interface (eg with Windows
NT 3.51), and are installing from drive a then:
Go to Windows Program Manager.
Click on the "Run..." item on its "File" menu.
In the command box type
a:\setup
Click on Ok or press Enter.
Otherwise if you have unzipped the zipped files into a
temporary directory, c:\tmp say, then do the same but with
the command c:\tmp\setup.
The setup program now installs MOZART for you.
It asks a few questions including: where do you want MOZART
installed? It suggests a directory. You may install it
anywhere on your hard disk but it is best to be in a new
directory. The setup program creates the directory for
you if it doesn't exist.
MOZART setup installs a number of utility DLL files which
are commonly used by many programs. Depending on your
system configuration, it puts these in your Common Program
Files, Windows, or Windows System directory. If you already
have a newer version of any of these files than the one
supplied with MOZART, the installation will pause to ask you
if you really want to install an older version. The correct
answer is usually "No". (If you do want to install older
versions, then exit from the setup program and back up your
originals first - MOZART should work with newer versions;
other applications may not work with older ones.)
The common DLLs installed by MOZART setup are listed under
the heading "Files installed" in the file README.TXT.
MOZART SETUP also installs a number of sample tunes in a
separate directory. These files have the extension .mz
and the installation registers these as belonging to MOZART
so that you can open them by clicking on them in the Windows
95 Explorer or the Windows NT Program Manager.
A number of icons will appear in a collection on the Windows 95
Start Menu or a Program Manager Group entitled "Mozart" or
"Mozart32". These include MOZART itself, an icon for direct
access to the on-line help, and companion information file
README.TXT.
In the evaluation copy icons are installed to give you direct
access to the order forms.
4 FURTHER INFORMATION
README.TXT: Other important information including how to
register and uninstall MOZART is given in the file README.TXT
which can be read after installation if you wish. README.TXT
also has useful trouble-shooting information in case MOZART
does not run satisfactorily after installation.
