Files :
-----
Windows Accessory Launcher contains the following files :
ACCLAUN.EXE Executable program file
HELPFILE.TXT Help/information file in Windows
Notebook format (this file)
README.BAT Batch file to read Helpfile.txt in
DOS
If you copy this program to other computer bulletin boards please
include all three of these files contained in ACCLAUN.ZIP.
Installation :
------------
The runtime Visual Basic file VBRUN100.DLL is required to
execute this program and must be somewhere in your path.
It can be found on most computer bulletin boards. One copy
of the VBRUN100.DLL will run all compiled Visual Basic
programs.
The program is installed by copying these files into the
directory where your Windows v3.0 (or later) files reside.
If you put these files into another directory Windows must
be in your path.
This program also assumes the Accessory Programs included
with Windows have not been deleted and are in the Windows
directory.
The program can automatically be loaded when entering Windows
by putting ACCLAUN.EXE after the "load=" line in the WIN.INI
file.
If you have an earlier version copy the program files over the
existing ones in the appropriate directory.
Program Execution :
-----------------
Files can be loaded into memory running either as icons or
windowed. Click the "run as window" or "run as icon" selection.
Click on the program name (i.e. "Clock") or the icon to
execute the program. The mouse cursor will become a square
icon as the mouse cursor passes over the program icon.
To load the "Application Launcher" press this button from the
main menu. Note that the "run as window" and "run as icon"
affect how the "Application Launcher" comes up also.A secondary
menu will appear. Find the drive, directory and desired file
and press "run" to execute. The file listing initially shows
all executable files. To just show EXE, COM, BAT or PIF files
only, click on the appropriate button. The ALL button once again
displays the executable files.
