- Welcome to disc 1 of the August, 1995 edition of the Walnut Creek CICA
- for MS Windows CDROM!
-
- This disc set contains 1300 MB of Microsoft Windows programs. It includes
- hundreds of utilities, games, fonts, bitmaps, and more, all written
- especially for Windows. The disc is based on the CICA Windows collection
- from Indiana University. Most of the files on the disc are in zip format.
- This disc was produced in August 1995.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- Here is a list of some important files and directories:
-
- 00_index.txt An index of subject directories
-
- 00global.txt A list of all files with descriptions - English
-
- setup.exe Windows SETUP program
- viewj.exe Japanese Windows viewer (requires Japanese Windows)
- view.exe DOS file viewer for the index files (See DOCS\VIEW.DOC)
- (You have to use this to see the multi-lingual descriptions)
- filename.txt List of all of the files on the CDROM
-
- docs\ Documentation Files
- utils\ Utilities for unzipping files.
- vbrun\ VBRUN100.DLL, VBRUN200.DLL, VBRUN300.DLL
- _bbs\ Index files and programs for bbs use.
-
- ==============================================================================
-
- 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 program 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 VBRUN\ directory of the CDROM.
