- Thanks for using DETOUR. I have offered this project as freeware solely
- to further my education of shareware distribution and for programming
- experience. I cannot continue to learn and grow as a programmer without
- your replies. I only ask of you, if you use Detour, please write me
- with suggestions, ideas, to report problems, incompatibilities or just
- to acknowledge use. I assume if you are reading this that you are
- upgrading from an earlier version and therefore using Detour. Please,
- let me know what you think.

- I could have easily written code to deal with the upgrade process, but I
- want Detour to be as small as possible, so I have elected not to do so.
- If you are currently using Detour 1.0 or 1.1, then you will have to
- follow these instructions for Detour 1.2 to work correctly. I have
- listened to the few requests I have received, and I think you will
- find Detour faster and much easier to use.
-
- First of all, load your WIN.INI file into a text editor such
- as NOTEPAD.EXE. Find the [Detour] section and beneath add the following
- using the your own extensions listed...
- Extensions=
- And then add the extensions of each file associated with a
- following comma. For the final entry, be sure to include a following comma
- or Detour will not read the last entry.
-
- i.e. [Detour]
- Extensions=TXT,DOC,ICO,BMP,PCX,GIF,BAS,
- TXT1=c:\windows\notebook.exe,NoteBook^1
- TXT2=c:\windows\notepad.exe,NotePad^1
- .
- .
- .
- BAS1=c:\windows\vb\vb.exe,Visual Basic^1
- BAS2=c:\windows\notebook.exe,NoteBook^1
-
- Sorry for this minor inconvience, but once this is done, you can
- completely control Detour with Detour Edit. This includes deleting a
- single entry, or an entire association.
-
- Thanks,
- Hope to hear from you!
