- RESDUET+ 2.02 Information 1/94
- *******************************************************************
- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- This is not freeware and if you like it and use it you should
- send $15 to me at the address that follows. By doing this you
- will receive the version without the "nag" screens and the next update.
-
- Please send your name & address and the $15 to register this program to:
- Michael Grice
- 8234 Excelsior Drive
- Pensacola, Florida 32514
-
- Also include any comments, suggestions or ideas and any problems.
- I can also be reached at America-On-Line (Mikey32514) and
- CompuServe (72144,1537). ResDuet+ will be sent on a 3.5" disk unless
- you specify 5.25".
-
- This version has a minor bug fix and adds a working directory box to use
- when adding applications to the middle buttons of The File Machine. It is
- only necessary to add the working directory for a few programs that may not
- open or load properly after installed to a button.
-
- The biggest change in this version is the addition of a status help bar
- at the bottom of The File Machine. There is now also a Help file with
- quite a bit of information (resduet2.hlp). This should be placed in the
- same directory as resduet.exe. When ResDuet+ is open, click on the right
- panel (resources) with your right mouse button to find the Help file and
- other configuration files. To find out more, read below and click on the
- resources panel with your right mouse button.
-
- It is also easier to move the ResDuet+ panel now by clicking on the
- resources panel (right side) with the left mouse button and dragging the
- entire panel to where you want it. The search function is also much faster.
-
- I have added sounds to many commands. The sound files must be
- downloaded separately and are only useful if you have a sound card.
- The sound file name is RESDUE2B.ZIP (or RESDUB.ZIP in Compuserve). If you
- have downloaded the RESDUET2.ZIP file before (version 2.01) you should
- already have these files. These wav files should be placed in the same
- directory as resduet.exe.
-
- There are no warranties, expressed OR implied.
- The author is in NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OF
- ANY KIND, INCLUDING MENTAL, PHYSICAL, MONETARY, ETC., TO THE USER OR
- COMPUTER OR PETS OR NEIGHBORS OR SPOUSES.

- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- To run RESDUET+ you will need the VBRUN300.DLL Visual Basic runtime
- file (found on most BBS's) in your Windows or Windows/System directory
- (as long as this is in your path statement). Then add a new program
- item to one of your groups (File*New*OK, etc.) using the icon with
- RESDUET+. I don't know if this will run in Windows 3.0 but it should.
-
- The files included with RESDUET+ are:
-
- 1. resduet.exe - to be placed in any directory (you may want this in
- your start-up group also).
-
- 2. resduet.txt - this file
-
- 3. threed.vbx
- dfinfo1.vbx
- cmdialog.vbx
- commdlg.dll
- apiguide.dll
- 3dlabel.vbx
- csform.vbx
- csinvis.vbx
- cstext.vbx
- qpro200.dll
- These files need to be placed in your Windows directory (or Windows\System
- if in your path) if you don't already have them. (Please make sure this is
- the most recent version).
-
- 4. resduet2.ini - will be created in your Windows directory (assuming Windows
- is on your "C" drive). Once you have added your programs to the middle buttons,
- the icons/pictures will be saved to pict#.bmp files in the directory where resduet.exe
- is placed (# being a number from 1 to 20) to coincide with the button selected. If you
- move these picture files, you must make the necessary path changes in the resduet2.ini
- file for the pictures only.
-
- RESDUE2B.ZIP (RESDUB.ZIP)- this contains all the sound files and must be downloaded
- separately (if you do NOT have ResDuet+ version 2.01). You must have a sound card for
- this feature to work. If you choose to use sound, you will need to unzip the wav files
- into the same directory as resduet.exe. You can enable sound with a male or female
- voice (or disable sound) with the Configure\Sounds menu item.
- =======================================================================
-
- RESTART/RESOURCE PANEL:
- I won't get into very many instructions here because they are included
- in the program but the important ones are;
-
- * To re-position the restart/resource panel, click on the "resources"
- (right) panel with the right mouse button and select Configure/ResDuet Position OR
- click and drag the right panel (with your left mouse button) to move ResDuet+.
-
- * To read the restart/resource panel instructions, click on the
- "resources" panel with the right mouse button and select Instructions or click on
- the Help menu item.
-
- * To open The File Machine, click on the "time" panel (left) with the left
- mouse button. To open only the middle buttons from The File Machine, click
- on the time panel with your right mouse button.
-
- * To check your available memory space and available disk space, click
- on the "resource" panel with your left mouse button then click on the About menu item.

-
- THE FILE MACHINE:
- Most of this is self-explanatory and also includes instructions. The
- "buttons" in the center of The File Machine open whatever files/programs
- you add using the "Buttons" button on the bottom left.
-
- The status bar at the bottom of The File Machine will show what the various
- buttons are that the mouse cursor is above. When it is above one of the
- middle buttons, it will show the path of the file that is added to that
- button. This will happen AFTER you have entered the information for the
- button and have exited and re-entered The File Machine the first time after
- adding this information.
-
- For instructions on the various buttons or areas, click your right mouse
- button over those areas or the left mouse button on the "?" button.

-
- Thanks, have fun and please register this program, it's only $15.00.
