0. INTRODUCTION
===============
This file is README.1ST. It contains information about
MOZART and how to install it.
You are recommended to read it first!
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.
1. DISTRIBUTION FILES
=====================
There are two forms in which you may have got MOZART.
A) You got the evaluation version in the form zip files
with names like MOZRT11A.ZIP and MOZRT11B.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. Where there is no need to
keep zip files under 720kB, MOZART may be found in
one larger zip file: eg MOZART11.ZIP
B) You have a floppy disk containing a number of files,
some in compressed format (eg MOZART.EX_). This disk
includes README.1ST (this file) and an installation
program SETUP.EXE.
Registered versions are distributed in form (B).
If you got (A), make sure that the ZIP files are unzipped
into a single directory before installation.
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.
2. 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:
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 at least one question: where do you want MOZART installed?
It suggests a directory, ususlly C:\MOZART. You may install it
anywhere on your hard disk but it is best to be in a new
directory (or over an old copy of MOZART). 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. It puts these in your
WINDOWS 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 TUNES
subdirectory of the MOZART directory. These files are the ones
with names of the form *.MZ in the distribution files.
MOZART SETUP tells your Windows Registration Database about .mz
files so that files with this extension can be opened from the
Windows File Manager - just as (for example) .WRI files can be.
A number of icons will appear in a group of files titled "Mozart"
in the program manager. These include MOZART itself, an icon for
direct access to the on-line help, and icons for showing the
main registration form REGISTER.WRI, other registration forms,
and the companion information file README.TXT
You are recommended to read the file README.TXT before or after
installation - it contains very useful information.
3 Installation trouble shooting
===============================
Problem: MOZART will not install, even though there is plenty
of room on the disk. The installation program indicates that some
file or files cannot be found or created.
Diagnosis: You are probably trying to install MOZART into the
same directory containing the installation package. This will
not work.
Cure: Choose a different directory. See Section 1 above.
