- Installation and release notes for ClipMate(TM) for Windows v3.02
- Release Date (07/27/94)
-
- *********************** Installation Notes *************************
- System Requirements:
- --------------------
- Windows 3.1.
- VGA or better display. Monchrome vga is ok.
- Mouse or other pointing device.
-
- To install ClipMate, just run the accompanying
- SETUP program from the Program Manager.
- (ex: FILE|RUN A: SETUP)
-
- The setup program does not require seperate install/target
- directories, meaning that if you've un-zipped the files into
- the directory that you want to run from, you can still run the
- setup to install the software - it will just skip the copy step.
-
- It is strongly recommended that ClipMate be placed in its own
- directory (i.e. C:\CLIPMATE).
-
- When the Setup program runs, it will create a ClipMate group
- with the ClipMate icon, and icons for documentation. If you
- decide to move the ClipMate icon to another group, such as the
- STARTUP group, you can delete the ClipMate group.
-
- NOTE: ClipMate doesn't alter ANY of your system files.
- It creates NO hidden files, puts NO DLLs or VBXs in your
- \windows\system directory, and is basically a CLEAN APPLICATION.
- ClipMate is EASY to get rid of, if you decide that it doesn't meet
- your needs.
-
- *******************************************************
- * WARNING: *
- * If you already have ClipMate on your system: *
- * If the old version is running, quit out of it. *
- * Make a backup of any data files (.CLM) that *
- * you want to keep. *
- * Your data files will be converted to v3.0 format, *
- * which is NOT backward-compatible. *
- * You may install ClipMate into the same directory *
- * as the older version. *
- *******************************************************
-
- You are encouraged to place ClipMate in your Startup Group,
- and to assign a hot-key to it. The hot-key must be done
- through the Program Manager, but the group can be changed
- during installation.
-
- To assign a hot key (after installation), just click once
- on the icon, and select File|Properties from the Program
- Manager's File Menu. In the Hotkey field, press a
- key-combination, such as Ctrl+Alt+C.

- Known Problems:
- --------------
- Norton Desktop for Windows users should upgrade to Norton Desktop
- version 2.0.
- Version 2.0 will work, if you make this change:
- To make ClipMate (and most other programs compiled with a Borland
- compiler) compatible with NDW v 2.0: make a change to the NDW.INI
- file, which is found in the Windows directory.
- In the [NHookSettings] section of NDW.INI, set Int21hHook=0.
- Like this:
- [NHookSettings]
- Int21hHook=0
- There is sometimes a problem in conveting a clipmate data file from
- previous releases. If you run into a General Protection Fault when
- converting an old file, you will need to delete, or rename the
- file. If possible, send it to us, so that we can see what is
- causing the problem.
