- 1.0
- RELEASE DATE:
- 9-16-97
- AUTHOR:
- Matthew C. Carlson
- PRICE:

- REQUIREMENTS:

-
- RUNTIME FILES
-
- The setup program which installs this software
- automatically checks for the needed files for you.
- 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 you're 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, the
- Micromatt homepage, or by requesting the files by
- email from Micromatt. If you need help obtaining
- these files, please contact Micromatt.
-
- If you don't have Internet access and aren't able
- to obtain the files anywhere else then send three
- US dollars or a check/money order to:
-
- Micromatt
- P.O. Box 754
- Arlington, MN 55307-0754
-
- Attn: runtimes
-
- In a note please state what version of Windows you
- are running. Make checks for runtime files payable
- to Matthew Carlson.
