===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Thank you for choosing BookSaver. This screensaver will go through your
bookmarks and display them while you aren't working. All you need to do
to use
it is go through a few simple set up steps.
INSTALLING:
_____________________________________
1. Unzip all of the files from the booksave.zip file into a new
temporary
directory. Do this by using a zip utility program like EZ-Unzipper
available at
http://www.gma-soft-tech.pair.com/.
2. Double click on the "setup.exe" icon (it should get unzipped into the
temporary folder created in step 1). This will begin the setup
application that
will install the BookSaver application. A setup screen will ask where
you would
like to place the application files. Select a folder and click on the
install
button. All necessary files will be placed on your computers hard disk.
3. When the setup application is completed you will be asked to restart
your
computer. For best results you should restart it - but it will probably
work
either way.
4. Right click your mouse on the desktop. This will show a context menu
with one
of the choices "properties" - select "properties". This will display the
"display properties" window. Select the "Screen Saver" tab on the top of
the
window. Select "BookSaver" in the pull-down menu on the left half way
down.
Enter a time in the "Wait" box. Click on the "Settings" button to
configure the
screensaver.
You are now ready to configure your screensaver.
CONFIGURING:
_____________________________________
1. Adding Bookmarks. This is the one thing that you must do for the
screensaver
to work. The table on the left shows what bookmarks you have added.
Click on the
"Import Bookmarks" button to import your bookmark file. An open file
dialog box
will be displayed. Select your bookmark file and click the Open button.
(The
bookmark file for Netscape is named bookmark.htm and is typically in the
c:\program files\Netscape\Navigator directory) Your bookmarks will be
added to
the table on the left. The "Refresh Bookmarks" button will delete all
bookmarks
and import new ones.
2. Deleting: You can click the "Delete Selected Site" to delete just one
site,
or "Delete All" to delete all of them.
3. You can type an URL into the textbox and click the "Add this Site"
button to
add any site to your list.
4. The Automatic Slowdown feature slows the refresh rate to 30 minutes
after the
screensaver has been on for an hour. The default setting is enabled, and
that is
recommended to conserve network resources. Without this feature enabled,
and the
refresh rate set at 15 seconds you would download 3840 pages in a 16
hour night!
5. The Page Refresh Rate is how long each bookmark will be displayed. We
recommend at least 45 seconds for a modem connection.
6. The size of the browser window can be adjusted in the Browser Size
pull-down
menu.
7. A color for the background can be selected by clicking on the
Background
Color button.
8. For sites with password authentication enter your User ID and
Password next
to the URL in the table on the left.
USING THE SCREENSAVER:
_____________________________________
The screensaver will appear after several minutes (depending what your
settings
are) of inactivity on your computer. You may exit the screensaver at
anytime by
pressing the mouse, pressing any key except "b" or "c" or by pressing
the "Quit"
button. The "b" key or the "browse" button stops the screensaver, and
allows you
to browse from the current bookmark. When you are done browsing, you can
then
continue the screensaver where it left off by pressing the "continue"
button, or
press "quit" to exit. The "c" key or "configure" button allows you to
pause the
screensaver and configure it.
LIMITATIONS AND CONFLICTS:
_____________________________________
1. Browser does not handle frames, Java, or ActiveX. This will be
included in
future upgrades.
2. There can be conflicts with some sites that give "cookies." We are
trying to
debug this component and expect major progress by the next release. A
work-
around to the problem is to remove sites known to have cookies. Look to
our web
page for progress on this.
UPCOMING ENHANCEMENTS:
_____________________________________
1. Addition of frame capability, and Java for the browser.
2. Ability to delete site from your list while the screensaver is
running.
3. Better linking of bookmark files to the screensaver.
4. Your suggestions!
