====Installing The ViaCommander Icon====
How to install your program as an Icon with the
Windows' Program Manager.
1. First install the program in a DOS directory,
outside of Windows.
2. Start up Windows and open the PROGRAM MANAGER.
3. Click once on the GROUP in which you want the
new ViaCommander Icon installed.
4. Go up to the menu bar at the top of your screen
and click on the word FILE.
5. A menu drops down. Click on NEW.
6. You will see a window with two choices. Select
PROGRAM ITEM. Then click on OKAY.
7. Another window appears entitled PROGRAM ITEM
PROPERTIES.
8. Click in the box labeled DESCRIPTION. Type
"ViaCommander".
9. Use the tab key or mouse and go to the box
labeled COMMAND LINE. Type the full name of the
path to the directory where you have installed
ViaCommander, and the name VCOMMAND.EXE. For example,
if the program is in a directory called VIA on the
C drive you would enter C:\VIA\VCOMMAND.EXE in the
box.
10. Use the TAB key to go to the box labeled WORKING
DIRECTORY. Type the name of the directory in which
you installed ViaCommander. For example, if you
installed the game in a directory called VIA, then

Window.
You should now have the ViaCommander Icon installed
in your PROGRAM MANAGER. Enjoy the program!
====PROGRAM NOTES====
NOTE:
An order form is provided under the file name "ORDER.TXT".
You can Open this file using Windows Notepad and print it.
NOTE 2:
This program is written in Visual Basic. Thus it needs the
VBRUN300.DLL (which should be included) to run. If you got
your copy from an on-line service or bulletin board take note:
Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN300.DLL file from Windows
programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
If you are missing the VBRUN300.DLL file, log back on to
the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
how he/she allows people to acquire it.
