- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains the SymmeToy(TM) <ASP> program (Version 1.0),
- by Hufnagel Software. SymmeToy is a symmetric art program that allows
- you to view, recolor and print 8 supplied symmetric pictures and 3D
- models. You can also create your own symmetric art which shares the
- underlying symmetry of the supplied art. You can create symmetric
- patterns and roses, Escher-like drawings and decorated 3D models using
- SymmeToy.
-
- SymmeToy is a Windows program and will perform best on 486 systems
- running at 33mhz or faster, containing at least 4mb of memory, and
- equipped with at least a 256 color video card. A color printer is
- optional.
-
- This is a shareware version of SymmeToy and includes all features of
- the program, and is not crippled in any way, but this version does
- include only 8 pieces of symmetric art. If you like the shareware
- version, you will want to order the registered version to get all 25
- styles of symmetric art, many additional 3D models and 10 Windows
- wallpaper patterns created with SymmeToy. The registered version also
- includes a 46 page manual that explains how to use the program and
- provides interesting information on the science and history of symmetry
- and symmetric art.
-
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this shareware version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services. The actual shareware version of the SymmeToy
- software is free.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- This version of SymmeToy is intended for network downloading and, to
- save space, does not include the very common VBRUN300.DLL file. Should
- this file be requested when you attempt to install the software, you
- will need to obtain a copy before you can continue. Most online
- services have this file available, or you can acquire it from the
- author of SymmeToy. Place VBRUN300.DLL in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- directory and then try the installation of SymmeToy described below
- again.
-
- The installation procedure for SymmeToy is quite simple. The
- package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the
- entire process. You will need about 2MB of available disk space
- on the hard drive on which you plan to install SymmeToy.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- SymmeToy.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the SymmeToy distribution diskette in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- o Start Windows and from the Program Manager click on FILE and then
- on RUN. Now type A:SETUP and press Enter. SymmeToy will be
- installed from your computer's A drive.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded SymmeToy from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for doing this from the same source from which you
- received the package.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the SymmeToy package is C:\TEMPDIR, you should get into the
- Windows Program Manager, click FILES and then click RUN. Now
- type C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP.EXE and press Enter to start the
- installation.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed SymmeToy
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, double click on the SymmeToy
- icon to start the program. Click on Help to get started using the
- program. Have fun!
-
-
- UNINSTALLING
-
- As part of the installation process, a SymmeToy uninstall program
- will be added to your system. Double click on this program's icon
- to remove SymmeToy from Windows and your hard disk.
