You must, must, must read this file before you use DeZkTop v2.0. If
you tried running DeZkTop before reading this file and got into trouble
then that serves you right!
The documentation for DeZkTop is supplied in Word 6 format as
dezktop.doc. Hopefully most people will have access to Word or to the
Word viewer. You can get the latter free from Microsoft. As a last
resort I have saved the text from the Word file as dezktop.txt which you
can read using Notepad, however this doesn't have the pictures in it.
If you haven't used DeZkTop before then have a quick browse through the
documentation and then jump in. If you have used an earlier version of
DeZkTop and especially if you are one of the large crowd who is using a
beta version of v2.0 then see below.
It just remains for me to remind you that DeZkTop is shareware, so if
you like it enough to use it then please send ten pounds sterling or
fifteen US dollars to me:

Ideally send cheques, UK banks will honour cheques drawn against foreign
banks, or alternatively just send cash. If you cannot get sterling or
US dollars then just send whatever comes to hand, IÆve never been known
to refuse any form of money!
IÆm afraid I donÆt take credit cards. If you have a Compuserve account
you can register by typing GO SWREG. The number for DeZkTop is 2943.
SWREG might claim the version number to be less than 2.0, if so just
ignore it as a single registration entitles you to use all current and
future versions.
DeZkTop v1.8 users
==================
If you are using DeZkTop v1.8 then you will need to use the convert
program to convert your v1.8 data to v2.0 format. Note that the
conversion will not affect your existing data in any way, and you can
continue to use both versions of DeZkTop if you want.
To convert your data make sure neither version of DeZkTop is running and
run convert.exe. This will display a dialog box with 4 fields in it.
Path to old DeZkTop files:
--------------------------
This is the directory which your DeZkTop v1.8 data directory is in. By
default v1.8 used the directory \windows\DeZkTop, if this is the case then
enter \windows in this field, ie enter the path but leave off the final
\DeZkTop. The convert program will do its best to guess the correct value
for this field, normally you shouldn't have to change it.
Path to new DeZkTop files:
--------------------------
This is the directory where you want your DeZkTop v2.0 data directory to
be. By default v2.0 will use the directory \windows so just enter
\windows (with the drive name if necessary). The convert program will
do its best to guess the correct value for this field, normally you
shouldn't have to change it.
Old name for desktop
--------------------
The convert program will only convert one desktop at a time and you
need to enter the desktop name here. If you haven't used the multiple
desktop facility then you will only have a single desktop called
Default.
New name for desktop
--------------------
This would normally be the same as the old name for desktop field.
When you are happy click OK and the data should be converted. If you
are still a bit unsure about what to enter in the first two fields have
a look in the documentation where it describes how DeZkTop stores its
data and that shoud clarify things a bit.
DeZkTop v2.0 beta users
=======================
I've made one change to the release version of DeZkTop 2.0 that will
cause you problems. The data used to be kept in a subdirectory called
DeZkTop20, but it was pointed out to me that Netware 3 file servers
cannot manage long file names so I changed the directory name to
DeZkTop.v20. Before running the release version of DeZkTop simply copy
or rename your DeZkTop20 directory to DeZkTop.v20.
