Thank you for choosing BookSaver. This screensaver will go through your bookmarks and display them while you aren't working. All you need to do to use it is go through a few simple set up steps. INSTALLING: _____________________________________ 1. Unzip all of the files from the booksave.zip file into a new temporary directory. Do this by using a zip utility program like EZ-Unzipper available at http://www.gma-soft-tech.pair.com/. 2. Double click on the "setup.exe" icon (it should get unzipped into the temporary folder created in step 1). This will begin the setup application that will install the BookSaver application. A setup screen will ask where you would like to place the application files. Select a folder and click on the install button. All necessary files will be placed on your computers hard disk. 3. When the setup application is completed you will be asked to restart your computer. For best results you should restart it - but it will probably work either way. 4. Right click your mouse on the desktop. This will show a context menu with one of the choices "properties" - select "properties". This will display the "display properties" window. Select the "Screen Saver" tab on the top of the window. Select "BookSaver" in the pull-down menu on the left half way down. Enter a time in the "Wait" box. Click on the "Settings" button to configure the screensaver. You are now ready to configure your screensaver. CONFIGURING: _____________________________________ 1. Adding Bookmarks. This is the one thing that you must do for the screensaver to work. The table on the left shows what bookmarks you have added. Click on the "Import Bookmarks" button to import your bookmark file. An open file dialog box will be displayed. Select your bookmark file and click the Open button. (The bookmark file for Netscape is named bookmark.htm and is typically in the c:\program files\Netscape\Navigator directory) Your bookmarks will be added to the table on the left. The "Refresh Bookmarks" button will delete all bookmarks and import new ones. 2. Deleting: You can click the "Delete Selected Site" to delete just one site, or "Delete All" to delete all of them. 3. You can type an URL into the textbox and click the "Add this Site" button to add any site to your list. 4. The Automatic Slowdown feature slows the refresh rate to 30 minutes after the screensaver has been on for an hour. The default setting is enabled, and that is recommended to conserve network resources. Without this feature enabled, and the refresh rate set at 15 seconds you would download 3840 pages in a 16 hour night! 5. The Page Refresh Rate is how long each bookmark will be displayed. We recommend at least 45 seconds for a modem connection. 6. The size of the browser window can be adjusted in the Browser Size pull-down menu. 7. A color for the background can be selected by clicking on the Background Color button. 8. For sites with password authentication enter your User ID and Password next to the URL in the table on the left. USING THE SCREENSAVER: _____________________________________ The screensaver will appear after several minutes (depending what your settings are) of inactivity on your computer. You may exit the screensaver at anytime by pressing the mouse, pressing any key except "b" or "c" or by pressing the "Quit" button. The "b" key or the "browse" button stops the screensaver, and allows you to browse from the current bookmark. When you are done browsing, you can then continue the screensaver where it left off by pressing the "continue" button, or press "quit" to exit. The "c" key or "configure" button allows you to pause the screensaver and configure it. LIMITATIONS AND CONFLICTS: _____________________________________ 1. Browser does not handle frames, Java, or ActiveX. This will be included in future upgrades. 2. There can be conflicts with some sites that give "cookies." We are trying to debug this component and expect major progress by the next release. A work- around to the problem is to remove sites known to have cookies. Look to our web page for progress on this. UPCOMING ENHANCEMENTS: _____________________________________ 1. Addition of frame capability, and Java for the browser. 2. Ability to delete site from your list while the screensaver is running. 3. Better linking of bookmark files to the screensaver. 4. Your suggestions!
