TinkBar and TinkBar Lite version 4.02
copyright Micheline J. Long and Paul Blais 1997
Revision History
================
* Change between 4.01 and 4.02 include a fix for the install where entering
a non default directory pathname would cause an endless loop in the install
script. Improvements to envelope SmartMasters were added for the default
envelopes in TinkBar.
* Changes between version 4.0 and 4.01 are merely within the install,
not any of the files, except that a note was put into the tinkbar.lwp.
The note is, if you choose to use the Tinkbar Copy Endnotes feature,
you must have the Text ASCII DOS filter installed in LWP.
Overview
========
TinkBar adds important features to Lotus Word Pro through an add on
SmartIcon tool bar and associated LScript scripts and SmartMasters.
This installation includes 2 products in one package. TinkBar Lite is a
totally freeware tool bar you may find sufficient. TiinkBar Giftware
version asks for a donation to further the TinkBar development effort.
The Giftware version adds really cool stuff to all the TinkBar Lite
features.
Requirements:
=============
Lotus Word Pro must already be installed on yyour computer.
The folowing product/Platforms are supported:
Lotus product Operating System
SmartSuite Release 4.0 Windows 3.1x
SmartSuite 96 Windows 95
SmartSuite 97 Windows 95 and Windows NT
SmartSuite 96 OS/2 Warp
SmartSuite Release 4 OS/2 Warp (under WinOS2)
All Standalone versions of Ward Pro on the above O/S's.
Beta versions of Word Pro may still support TinkBar but no support is
specifically offered. Future versions of Word Pro or SmartSuite may
require an upgrade to TinkBar as well.
Installation:
=============
Before doing anything open the document TINKBAR.LWP and review the
installation instructions and features. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN TINKBAR
BEFORE REVIEWING DOCUMENTATION. Several important additional setup steps
are required to fully integrate TinkBar Lite or Giftware TinkBar.
To start the installation copy the following files to a floppy disk:
DISK.ID
WINSTALL.EXE
TINKBAR.001
INSTALL.DAT
Then execute the WINSTALL.EXE command from the Windows Start button -> RUN
prompt or from the Windows Program Manager -> Run option. To install
from the hard drive you _must_ copy DISK.ID to the root directory of the
disk drive you unzipped this file archive. It won't work any other way.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR OS/2 Warp users.
=================================
While the TinkBar fully supports OS/2 Warp Word Pro versions, the
installation program _must_ be run from a full screen session of WINOS2.
If you do _not_ have WINOS2 support then you have downloaded the wrong
version of TinkBar. Please go to the following WEB site and get the
correct version.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/tink
Without WINOS2 support you can not install this version. The other
version is identical but requires more manual installation steps. OS/2
Warp TinkBar is exactly the same in every other respect. A REXX based
install is already in the works.
Last minute notes:
==================
After installing the TinkBar or TinkLite version in any 97 product of
Word Pro, you will need to open, close and reopen Word Pro again for
the bar to appear on screen.
Installation to a server based copy of Word Pro can not be supported
at this time. SmartMasters, Scripts, and Icons directories must
reside on the local workstation for proper usage of TinkBar.
PLEASE NOTE Fix:
================
The tnke1.mwp, tnke2.mwp, tnke3.mwp and tnke4.mwp should be saved by
those file names after customizing. Not as e1.mwp, e2.mwp, e3.mwp,
and e4.mwp as noted in the files themselves.
DISCLAIMER
==========
TinkBar is written with tender loving care for use in all versions of
Word Pro. However if the installtion of TinkBar should cause major or
minor damage to your system or your life the authors assume no
responsibility for anything at all due to TinkBar usage or installation.
You are free to report all problems you encounter and a best effort will
be made to correct any problems though no assurance should be implied by
this offer that the problem will be fixed to meet any deadline you may
have.
Backing up of all system data and software prior to the installation of
any software product is always a very good and safe idea.
