Welcome to the January, 1995 edition of the Walnut Creek CICA for MS
Windows CDROM!
This disc contains the Microsoft Windows Archive from CICA (The Center for
Innovative Computing Applications).

==========================================================================
To use this disc, you will need to unarchive the compressed programs
on the CDROM to your hard disk.
To make browsing the disk easier, we have included the WINVIEW
program for Windows and VIEW for MSDOS in the root directory of the
CDROM. This program allows you to page through the index files and
then unarchive the program(s) you want onto your hard disk.
==========================================================================
INSTALLATION:
Although the WINVIEW and VIEW programs require no installation (as
they can run directly off of the disc), you can install the programs
onto your hard drive using the SETUP program. To run the
installation:
1) Start up Windows
2) Choose RUN from the Program Manager File menu to see the RUN
dialog box.
3) In the command line box, type
D:\setup
(If the D: drive is not your CDROM drive, change it to the
appropriate CDROM drive letter.)
4) Click OK to start the installation.
==========================================================================
To install a program you uncompressed onto your hard drive from the
CDROM so it displays an icon in your applications group, you can do one of two things:
1) First select Windows Setup in the Main Group.
Then select Options in the menu bar.
Select Set Up Applications.
Select Ask You to Specify An Application.
Type the path and name of the program you'd like to install.
Windows setup will copy the program's icon into the Application
Group and set up the program to run from the icon.
For example, to make an permanent icon for boxworld after copying
it with VIEW you would type:
c:\win3\games\boxworld\boxworld.exe
into the "Specify An Application" box.
2) Start up File Manager, then locate the executable program (which
usually ends in .EXE or .COM) you wish to install.
Drag that program icon to your Applications porogram group inside
your Program Manager window, then release the mouse button. The icon
will now be in your Applications window, and the program can now be
run from that icon.
==========================================================================
Some applications require vbrun100.dll, vbrun200.dll, or
vbrun300.dll. These files are provided in the the root directory of
the CDROM.
