WINWHEEL INSTALL.DOC
Installation Instructions
Since WINWHEEL is a Windows application, it is installed the same as
other Windows application. You may wish to review the procedure by
referring to your Windows User's Guide, pp.87-96. Install WINWHEEL by first
making a directory on your hard drive called WINWHEEL.
MD C:\WINWHEEL
You may choose a different hard drive other than the C: drive if you wish.
Unzip the WINWHEEL.ZIP file into this directory.
The files are:
CHAMP.DAT Data for Top Ten Wheelers
SOUND.DOC Describes the sound driver.
SOUND.DRV Replacement for the Windows sound driver
SPIN.DAT Data For Money Values on Wheel
VBRUN100.DLL* The Run-Time Module for Visual Basic
Applications.
VBTOOLS.VBX* The Run-Time Module for VBTOOLS Add-on
WINWHEEL.DAT Data File of Puzzles
WINWHEEL.DOC Information file on WINWHEEL and the Shareware
Concept
WINWHEEL.EXE The WINWHEEL executable file
Copy the VBRUN100.DLL and VBTOOLS.VBX files into your Windows subdirectory.
Copy the SOUND.DRV file into the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory on your hard
drive. You must choose into which program group you wish to install
WINWHEEL. If you are running Windows, then STOP & exit Windows at this
point, and then restart Windows. This is necessary for Windows to recognize
the new sound driver. Failure to do this will result in a UAE.
You may create a program group by selecting Files, New,
Group in Program Manager. You may have already created a GAMES
group for all of your games. Select this group by clicking on it with your mouse. Now in the PROGRAM MANAGER, Select File, NEW,
Program Item, OK. Type in WINWHEEL for the Description; and for
the Command Line, type in the path and file name, including the
drive, where the WINWHEEL files reside. Now select OK.
(i.e. C:\WINWHEEL\WINWHEEL.EXE).
To run WINWHEEL, just click on the WINWHEEL icon, and enjoy.
Note that WINWHEEL is Shareware and not freeware. If you continue to
use WINWHEEL then you are obligated to register it. Registration
information is contained in the menu within the game.
*Note about VBRUN100.DLL, VBTOOLS.VBX and SOUND.DRV. VBRUN100.DLL is the
run-time dynamic link library required by programs written with Microsoft
Visual Basic. If you have other programs written in this language, you
will save disk space by moving this file into your Windows directory,
since only one copy of this file is required, and the Windows subdirectory
is in the path statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If you acquired
WINWHEEL from a Bulletin Board, a Shareware disk vendor, or from
Compuserve, and did not get the VBRUN100.DLL file, then you must get it
in order for WINWHEEL to run. On Compuserve, GO MSLANG and download the
file VBRUN.ZIP from library 6. Or contact your disk vendor for the file.
The author has used an add-on module to Visual Basic from MicroHelp, Inc.
This requires that the VBTOOLS.VBX file be in your path, preferably in
your Windows directory. You must also copy the SOUND.DRV file to your
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory. This file replaces the sound driver that
came with Windows V.3.0 and V.3.0a which contains a bug that causes some
programs with sound to play the sound improperly.
Or you may request these files from the author at the registration address
below. Include $2.00 for shippping and handling.
