- DESCRIPTION
-
- Conecting to and exploringing the Internet has
- never been easier! Instead of manually loading
- your browser and waiting for it to load, then
- typing in your URL, you can just type it in and
- let Instant Internet get you there while you
- work on other tasks. Likewise, type in an email
- address instead of getting into your email
- software first.
-
- Once you're on you can stick the window over the
- browser's URL box to take full advantage of the
- features available. Group emailing, "?" quick
- searches, shortcuts, fast emailing, and more
- wait to benefit you and save you time and
- hassle.
-
-
- HOW TO USE
-
- Starting the program will show its icon in the
- system tray of your Windows 95 desktop in the
- lower right corner of the screen. Double click
- the icon to load the main window. Once in the
- program, just type a in a URL, email address,
- or shortcut and hit the "Go!" button.
-
- Use the Options Dialog to change the settings
- of the program and to create and modify
- shortcuts. A shortcut is simply a common name
- for an Internet site or email address to make
- often used items fast to access.
-
- To do a quick search from the Instant Internet
- window type a question mark followed by your
- search text to use the search engine you
- specify in the Options Dialog. For example,
- "? micromatt football fury" would search for
- documents related to the search string.

- RUNTIME FILES
-
- The setup program which installs this software
- automatically checks for the needed files. If
- it gave you an error message about missing runtime
- files, then you will need to obtain them to run
- the program. If you are running Windows 95 then
- the setup program will ask you if you want to go
- to the Micromatt Web site to download them
- (Windows 95 only).
-
- Run-time files are NOT included in this archive.
- See the Micromatt homepage at the URL below to
- download the required runtime files if you do not
- already have them. These files are also available
- from many other sites on the Internet such as:
-
- http://www.hotfiles.com/
-
- The file set is called the Microsoft Visual Basic
- 4.0 Runtime files. You must have the correct
- version of each set, which is 32 bit for Windows
- 95, and 16 bit for Windows 3.1. If you get error
- messages about missing .DLL files or other missing
- files, you will need to get a copy of the Visual
- Basic runtimes.
-
- To check if you already have the files, use the
- Windows 95 Find utility from the Start menu to
- search for the file: vb40032.dll . Or if youÆre a
- Windows 3.1 user, you can use the Search command
- in File Manager to locate the file: vb40016.dll .
- If your searching does not produce any results,
- you will need to obtain the Microsoft Visual Basic
- 4.0 runtime files from a source such as the
- Internet, a BBS, a friend or coworker, or the
- Micromatt homepage. If you need help obtaining
- these files please contact Micromatt.
