RESDUET+ 2.02a Information 1/94
*******************************************************************
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is not freeware and if you like it and use it you should
send $15 to me at the address that follows ($12.50 if you have registered
other programs from me). By doing this you will receive the version
without the "nag" screens and the next update.
Please send your name & address and the $15 to register this program to:
Michael Grice
8234 Excelsior Drive
Pensacola, Florida 32514
Also include any comments, suggestions or ideas and any problems.
I can also be reached at CompuServe (72144,1537). ResDuet+ will
be sent on a 3.5" disk unless you specify 5.25".
This version has a minor bug fix and adds a working directory box to use
when adding applications to the middle buttons of The File Machine. It is
only necessary to add the working directory for a few programs that may not
open or load properly after installed to a button.
The biggest change in this version is the addition of a status help bar
at the bottom of The File Machine. There is now also a Help file with
quite a bit of information (resduet2.hlp). This should be placed in the
same directory as resduet.exe. When ResDuet+ is open, click on the right
panel (resources) with your right mouse button to find the Help file and
other configuration files. To find out more, read below and click on the
resources panel with your right mouse button.
It is also easier to move the ResDuet+ panel now by clicking on the
resources panel (right side) with the left mouse button and dragging the
entire panel to where you want it. The search function is also much faster.
I have added sounds to many commands. The sound files must be
downloaded separately and are only useful if you have a sound card.
The sound file name is RESDU2B.ZIP (or RESDUB in Compuserve). If you
have downloaded the RESDUET2.ZIP file before (version 2.01) you should
already have these files. These wav files should be placed in the same
directory as resduet.exe. RESDU2A.ZIP has all of the main ResDuet+ files.
There are no warranties, expressed OR implied.
The author is in NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OF
ANY KIND, INCLUDING MENTAL, PHYSICAL, MONETARY, ETC., TO THE USER OR
COMPUTER OR PETS OR NEIGHBORS OR SPOUSES.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To run RESDUET+ you will need the VBRUN300.DLL Visual Basic runtime
file (found on most BBS's) in your Windows or Windows/System directory
(as long as this is in your path statement). Then add a new program
item to one of your groups (File*New*OK, etc.) using the icon with
RESDUET+. I don't know if this will run in Windows 3.0 but it should.
The files included with RESDUET+ are:
1. resduet.exe - to be placed in any directory (you may want this in
your start-up group also).
2. resduet.txt - this file
3. threed.vbx
dfinfo1.vbx
cmdialog.vbx
commdlg.dll
apiguide.dll
3dlabel.vbx
csform.vbx
csinvis.vbx
cstext.vbx
mlist.vbx
qpro200.dll
These files need to be placed in your Windows directory (or Windows\System
if in your path) if you don't already have them. (Please make sure this is
the most recent version).
4. resduet2.ini - will be created in your Windows directory (assuming Windows
is on your "C" drive). Once you have added your programs to the middle buttons,
the icons/pictures will be saved to pict#.bmp files in the directory where resduet.exe
is placed (# being a number from 1 to 20) to coincide with the button selected. If you
move these picture files, you must make the necessary path changes in the resduet2.ini
file for the pictures only.
RESDUE2B.ZIP (RESDUB.ZIP)- this contains all the sound files and must be downloaded
separately (if you do NOT have ResDuet+ version 2.01). You must have a sound card for
this feature to work. If you choose to use sound, you will need to unzip the wav files
into the same directory as resduet.exe. You can enable sound with a male or female
voice (or disable sound) with the Configure\Sounds menu item.
=======================================================================
RESTART/RESOURCE PANEL:
I won't get into very many instructions here because they are included
in the program but the important ones are;
* To re-position the restart/resource panel, click on the "resources"
(right) panel with the right mouse button and select Configure/ResDuet Position OR
click and drag the right panel (with your left mouse button) to move ResDuet+.
* To read the restart/resource panel instructions, click on the
"resources" panel with the right mouse button and select Instructions or click on
the Help menu item.
* To open The File Machine, click on the "time" panel (left) with the left
mouse button. To open only the middle buttons from The File Machine, click
on the time panel with your right mouse button.
* To check your available memory space and available disk space, click
on the "resource" panel with your left mouse button then click on the About menu item.
#######################################################################
THE FILE MACHINE:
Most of this is self-explanatory and also includes instructions. The
"buttons" in the center of The File Machine open whatever files/programs
you add using the "Buttons" button on the bottom left. PLEASE NOTE, WHEN
ADDING YOUR PROGRAMS/APPLICATIONS TO THE BUTTONS, YOUR VIDEO COLORS SHOULD
BE NO HIGHER THAN 256. ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED THIS, YOU MAY CHANGE TO A
HIGHER COLOR (32K, 64K ETC.).
The status bar at the bottom of The File Machine will show what the various
buttons are that the mouse cursor is above. When it is above one of the
middle buttons, it will show the path of the file that is added to that
button. This will happen AFTER you have entered the information for the
button and have exited and re-entered The File Machine the first time after
adding this information.
For instructions on the various buttons or areas, click your right mouse
button over those areas or the left mouse button on the "?" button.

That's about all for me.
Thanks, have fun and please register this program, it's only $15.00.
