- Installing Guitar Teacher
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- ----------------
- Pre-installation
- ----------------
-
- If you have a copy of VBRUN200.DLL in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then
- skip this section and continue at the sub-heading "Installation".
-
- Guitar Teacher requires the file named VBRUN200.DLL to be copied into your
- WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory BEFORE running the install program. This file may
- not be present with the copy of Guitar Teacher you have aquired. If it is,
- use the DOS COPY command or the Windows File Manager to copy it.
-
- Example:
-
- copy a:\vbrun200.dll c:\windows\system
-
-
- VBRUN200.DLL may instead be present in compressed form as VBRUN200.EXE.
- This is a self-extracting file that must be expanded into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- directory. VBRUN200.DLL is created by running VBRUN200.EXE. The expansion
- operation must be executed from DOS. (See instructions below.)
-
- If VBRUN200.DLL is not present in either form, then it will have to be
- aquired from another source. Check your usual sources for shareware.
-
-
- Creating VBRUN200.DLL from DOS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 1. Set the current default directory to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
- The following is most likely what you need to type:
-
- c:
- cd c:\windows\system
-
- 2. Specify the location (path) for VBRUN200.EXE followed by the the command
- to run it. If VBRUN200.EXE is stored on a diskette in drive A:, in a
- sub-directory called GT, type:
-
- a:\gt\vbrun200
-
- These commands assume:
-
- 1. That your copy of Windows is on drive C:.
- 2. That you are installing Guitar Teacher from a diskette in drive A:
- where VBRUN200.EXE is stored in a sub-directory called GT.
-
-
- ------------

-
- Text View Options
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- You may wish to copy Text View's icon into another program group, for
- instance, whichever group you use to hold all of your Windows accessories.
-
- In the Windows Program Manager:
-
- Click (not double-click) Text View's icon so its caption is highlighted,
- then choose the following:
-
- File
- Copy...
-
- Then choose the group you want to copy to. You can now run Text View from
- the Guitar Teacher group or the group containing the new copy.
-
- When you double-click the Text View icon (with the caption "Read Me") in
- Guitar Teacher's program group, the file README.TXT is automatically loaded
- into Text View on start up. This feature is controlled by setting Text
- View's command line. It's best to leave the copy in the Guitar Teacher
- group as is, but for an icon you copy to another program group, you can
- change Text View's command line so that it doesn't load a file on start up.
-
- In the Windows Program Manager:
-
- Click (not double click) Text View's icon so its caption is highlighted,
- then choose the following:
-
- File
- Properties...
- Command line:
-
- Remove the filename at the end of the command line.
-
- You can cause Text View to load any text (ASCII) file.
-
- Command line syntax:
-
- TV [[drive:][path]filename]
-
- Example:
-
- c:\gtwin.150\tv c:\txtfiles\maillist.txt
-
- This example assumes you have a sub-directory named TXTFILES which stores
- a file named MAILLIST.TXT.
-
-
- Association
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- You can "associate" filename extensions with Text View. For example, the
- extension "TXT" is usually associated with the Windows Notepad editor. This
- means that any time you double-click a filename with a TXT extension in the
- Windows File Manager, Notepad automatically starts and loads the file you
- clicked. If you spend more time viewing text files than you do editing
- them, you may wish to associate the TXT extension with Text View. Run the
- File Manager for help on associating.
