- Installing The ViaPrint Icon:
-
- How to install your program as an Icon with the
- Windows' Program Manager.
-
- 1. First install the program in a DOS directory,
- outside of Windows.
-
- 2. Start up Windows and open the PROGRAM MANAGER.
-
- 3. Click once on the group in which you want the
- new ViaPrint Icon installed.
-
- 4. Go up to the menu bar at the top of your screen
- and click on the word FILE.
-
- 5. A menu drops down. Click on NEW.
-
- 6. You will see a window with two choices. Select
- PROGRAM ITEM. Then click on OKAY.
-
- 7. Another window appears entitled PROGRAM ITEM
- PROPERTIES.
-
- 8. Click in the box labeled DESCRIPTION. Type
- "ViaPrint".
-
- 9. Use the tab key or mouse and go to the box
- labeled COMMAND LINE. Type the full name of the
- path to the directory where you have installed
- ViaPrint, and the name VIAPRINT.EXE. For example,
- if the program is in a directory called VIAPRINT on the
- C drive you would enter C:\VIAPRINT\VIAPRINT.EXE in the
- box.
-
- 10. Use the TAB key to go to the box labeled WORKING
- DIRECTORY. Type the name of the directory in which
- you installed ViaPrint. For example, if you
- installed the game in a directory called VIAPRINT, then
- type C:\VIAPRINT.
-
- 11. Now click on OKAY in the PROGRAM ITEM PROPERTIES
- Window.
-
- You should now have the ViaPrint Icon installed
- in your PROGRAM MANAGER. Enjoy the program!
-
-
- NOTE:
-
- An order form is provided under the file name "ORDER.TXT".
- You can Open this file using Windows Notepad and print it, or
- print one from the "Viable" Button in ViaPrint itself.
-
- NOTE 2:
-
- This program is written in Visual Basic. Thus it needs the
- VBRUN300.DLL (which should be included) to run. If you got
- your copy from an online service or bulletin board take note:
-
- Some BBS Sysops remove the VBRUN300.DLL file from Windows
- programs that use it in order to save disk drive space.
- If you are missing the VBRUN300.DLL file, log back on to
- the service or BBS it came from, and, if you can't easily
- find the VBRUN file, leave a comment to your Sysop asking
- how he/she allows people to acquire it.
-
- NOTE 3:
-
- Some printers apparently will not print .BMP pictures from
- ViaPrint. We are working to alleviate this situation -
- meanwhile you'll find ViaPrint useful without pictures!
- We suggest you use MetaFiles rather than .BMPs.
