--------------------------------------- Master Visual Basic by Nathan and Ori Gurewich Sams Publishing --------------------------------------- The necessary files have been copied from the CD-ROM to the \MVPROG directory of your hard drive. The following files have been copied to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: TEGOSND.DLL TEGOMM.VBX MHCARDS.DLL MHCD200.VBX MHDC200.VBX SSBC.VBX PIDOC.VBX GAUGE.VBX MHRUN300.DLL PIDOCEDT.DLL PITEXT.DLL PIMETA.DLL PIOLE1.DLL SPIN.VBX GRAPH.VBX GSW.EXE GSWDLL.DLL MSCOMM.VBX KEYSTAT.VBX MYCLOCK.VBX VBRUN300.DLL ============================= Read Only Attributes of the Files ============================= Because the files are copied from the CD to your hard drive, the files have the read-only "r" attribute set. Thus, you can read these files, but you can't modify them. If you need to modify any of these files, run the MVPROG.BAT file located in the \MVPROG directory. MVPROG.BAT is a batch program that will automatically remove the "read-only" attributes of all the files in \MVPROG and its subdirectories. To use the MVPROG.BAT file: [] At the DOS prompt change to the C:\MVPROG directory. [] At the DOS prompt type: MVPROG {Enter} =================== Copyrighted Material =================== All of the files on the book's CD-ROM are copyrighted material, and you must treat them like any other copyrighted material. Some of the EXE files included on the book's CD-ROM can't be executed without additional files (such as VBX files and DLL files). These additional files are supplied on the book's CD-ROM for the sole purpose of running the EXE files. The following music files are Copyright (C) 1991 Prosonus: HOLIDAY3.MID, PICKIN6.MID, BOURB1M1.WAV, HOLID1M1.WAV, ITSBEEN1.WAV, LASTC1M0.WAV, STROL1M1.WAV, VICTO2M3.WAV The following files are Copyright (C) from the Interactive 1000 Sound Effects collection Interactive Publishing Corporation: 8KENNED3.WAV, 8CRYBABY.WAV, 8HORROR9.WAV, 8GROWL1.WAV, 8HORRO15.WAV The following AVI files are from the Jasmine Multimedia (TM) collection Copyright (C) 1993 by Jasmine Multimedia: KENNEDY.AVI, KISSINGR.AVI, MCARTHUR.AVI, NIXON.AVI, WEST.AVI. The following AVI files are from the Aris MediaClips (TM) collection (C) Aris Multimedia Entertainment, Inc, 1993: MOVIE.AVI, MOON.AVI. Movie files (AVI files) are large files. As such, only one movie file was copied to your hard drive during the installation of the CD. The file that was copied is MOVIE.AVI, and it was copied to your C:\MVPROG\AVI directory. However, you can manually copy other movie programs (together with the Visual Basic source code) to your hard drive. You'll find these additional movie programs on the CD in the \MVPROG\AVI directory. If you want to experiment with these movies, use the File Manager of Windows or the COPY DOS command to copy these files from the \MVPROG\AVI directory of the CD to the C:\MVPROG\AVI directory. ===================================================== Creating the Second "Master Visual Basic 3" Program Group ===================================================== This book contains over 50 programs. Because in Windows 3.1 you can have a maximum of 50 program icons in each program group, only the executable files from chapters 1 through 20 are set up in a group named Master Visual Basic Group 1. If you want to set up the second program group for the remaining chapters, run the SETUP2.EXE program in the \MVPROG directory on the CD-ROM. ========================================== The TegoMM.VBX Advanced Multimedia Control ========================================== The TegoMM.VBX control is an advanced multimedia control that lets you incorporate multimedia technology into your programs with great ease (such as WAV files, MIDI files, AVI files, animation, playing through the PC speaker). Unlike the other files that are supplied on the book's CD, you can use the TegoMM.VBX multimedia control in your own programs, provided that you comply with the software license agreement that resides in the \MVPROG\LICENSE directory. The TegoMM.VBX control supplied on the book's CD is a limited version. You can order the full version directly from TegoSoft Inc. by sending a check or money order for $29.95 plus $5.00 for shipping and handling to: TegoSoft Inc.
