ROUTE1 for Microsoft Windows 3.x release 2.2 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= (c) 1992 DAK This is a short text file just to get you started. There is a help file included with Route1 that explains all of its features, and how to use them. I strongly recommend looking at the help file, so that you can take full advantage of Route1. It explains how to access SubMenus, how to create scripts, and much more. The help file is accessible through Route1 by pressing [?] on any menu or dialog box. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Install Route1: Select 'Run...' from Program Manager's 'File' menu, and type: d:install where d: is the disk drive where the Route1 installation disk is. >If you are a previous user of Route1: version 1.x - your Route1.INI is NOT compaiable with version 2.2 version 2.x - your Route1.INI IS compatatible with version 2.2, and you might want to back it up or rename it before you proceed. >To install Route1 yourself: Copy all 170 Route1 files to their own directory. It takes a little over 1 Meg on your hard disk. If you have VBRUN100.DLL already in your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories, you may delete the one in the Route1 directory, otherwise it is a good idea to it to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. The icons are also compressed in a DLL file. If you are using Windows 3.1, and wish to use that instead of the 120 included ICO files, then you can copy R1ICONS.DLL into your Route 1 directory, and remove any unwanted ICO files. Warning: do NOT delete BLANK.ICO! >To setup Route1: Add Route1 to a Program Manager or Quick Access group as you normally would, or have Route1 appear when Windows is loaded by adding it to the lines in WIN.INI starting with 'Load=' or 'Run='. >To learn about Route1: 1. Select "Run..." from Program Manager's "File" menu, and type: WinHelp 2. Select "Open" from WinHelp's "File" menu. 3. Change to the directory where you have copied the Route1 files. 4. Select "ROUTE1.HLP", and press "Ok". 5. Follow the instructions under "Getting Started: Installation" =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Included Files: Route1.EXE - the brilliantly engineered program!

Don't panic - Route 1 is safe . . . as long as you use protection . . . Although some of the included icons are derivatives or enhancements of commercial program icons, it is not my intention to distribute any material that its creator(s) or legal owner(s) would object to. I will immediately remove, or alter to their satisfaction, any icon(s) which is brought to my attention as proprietary in nature and should not be freely distributed. The design, look, and feel of all the different parts of my program is either purely of my own invention, or a thorough alteration and combining of what I wished many other programs should be. It is also not my intention, to mimic, or to lessen the effectiveness of any other software in existence. I wrote this program originally for my own use, and am distributing it for other people to use strictly for my own satisfaction of making something that someone else finds useful, or even necessary.
