- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains Win Multiple Configurations, by JRE Enterprises.
- This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
- features, along with instructions for its installation. After unzipping
- Win Multiple Configurations, view INSTALL.WRI for additional
- installation instructions.
-
- Win Multiple Configurations (WMC) will allow you to save and use up to
- one-hundred different desktops. This includes having different
- SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI configurations. Create desktops specific for
- your children, husband, wife and/or co-worker(s). Also, password
- protect any or all saved configuration entries -- a good way to protect
- against accidental access to certain applications and/or critical data.
- WMC requires VBRUN300.DLL and Windows 3.1. WMC now supports
- installation on a server and being accessed by client workstations.
-
- Win Multiple Configurations is a shareware program. This evaluation
- version includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any
- way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge. If you like the
- program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
- are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.WRI for more details).
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
- program.
-
- We thank you for giving Win Multiple Configurations a test drive.
- Registration is easy and it ensures that we at JRE Enterprises can
- continue to develop low cost, quality applications for Windows. When you
- register, you will be sent a registration code that will stop the
- annoying "Unregistered Shareware" messages. Registration can be done on
- CompuServe (GO SWREG, title "Win Multiple Configurations", registration
- id 662).
-
- Also available from JRE Enterprises are programs JRE Exit, JRE Home
- Inventory, My Life, Win Change, and Writer's Cramp. JRE Exit is a
- freeware utility that provides four different ways to exit Windows.
- JRE Home Inventory is the Windows Home Inventory program that keeps
- track of all your household items for insurance purposes. My Life is
- the definitive diary, word processor, scrapbook, and multi-media
- scrapbook available for Windows. Win Change is the only utility that
- allows you to make global changes to text strings in GRP, INI, PIF and
- other types of files. Writer's Cramp is a simple, small, inexpensive
- word processor. These programs can be found on CompuServe (WINSHARE
- forum) and America Online (Windows software) with a keyword of JRE.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- Install for Win Multiple Configurations
- Copyright (c) 1993-1996 JRE Enterprises
- All Rights Reserved
-
- Win Multiple Configurations (WMC) requires Windows 3.1 and VBRUN300.DLL.
- VBRUN300.DLL must be accessible via the path, normally it is found in
- the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.
-
- To install Win Multiple Configurations, run SETUP.EXE.
- WMC now supports being installed on a server and accessed by many
- clients. For server installations, use the OPTIONAL INSTALL method,
- which places all executables (exe, com, bat, dll, vbx) in the
- application directory. WMC also supports each client machine or each
- user having their own WMC data directory, where saved configuration are
- stored. This can be use in a standalone or client/server installation
- and allows up to 100 saved configurations per WMC data directory.
-
- There are now four different ways to use WMC; Classic, Enhanced-Classic,
- Client/Server, Enhanced Client/Server.
-
- Classic WMC:
- Classic WMC is where WMC is installed on each workstation. The person
- or group of people using the workstation can save up to 100 Windows
- configurations. The 100 saved configurations are shared amongst the
- people using the workstation.
-
- WMC is installed using either the STANDARD or OPTIONAL installation
- method on each workstation. Up to 100 configurations can be saved and
- restored on each workstation. Saved configurations are stored in the WMC
- installation directory. All users of the workstation share the 100
- configurations. This is the standard way to use WMC and was the only
- way to use WMC prior to Version 7.0.
-
- Enhanced-Classic WMC:
- Enhanced-Classic WMC is where WMC is installed on each workstation. The
- person or group of people using the workstation can save up to 100
- Windows configurations per WMC Data directory. Each person can specify
- their own WMC Data directory and need not share it with other people.
-
- WMC is installed using either the STANDARD or OPTIONAL installation
- method on each workstation. The WMCDATAPATH environment variable must
- be set before using WMC to a "WMC Data Directory", which is a directory
- other than the WMC installation directory. Up to 100 configurations can
- be saved and restored per WMC Data Directory. If each user of the
- workstation sets the WMCDATAPATH environment variable to a different WMC
- Data Directory, then each user can save and restore up to 100
- configurations. In this case, the WMCUSER environment variable must
- also be set before using WMC to a unique value for each user; otherwise,
- WMC will not work properly. Normally, the WMCDATAPATH and WMCUSER
- variables are set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Example:
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
- set WMCDATAPATH=c:\wmcdata\joe ' where c: points to a local drive
- set WMCUSER=joe
-
- Client/Server WMC:
- Client/server WMC only supports the situation where each person or group
- use only one client workstation (Person A always uses workstation 1,
- Persons C and D always uses workstation 2). Client/server WMC does not
- support a person or group using multiple client workstations (Person A
- uses workstation 1 and uses workstation 2). Enhanced Client/Server WMC
- supports the use of multiple client workstations by an individual in
- certain situations.
-
- WMC is installed using the OPTIONAL installation method on a server.
- Client workstations connect to the server to execute WMC. Run
- CSSETUP.EXE, found in the WMC installation directory on the server, for
- each client to set up the WMC Program Manager Group and icons on the
- client(s). The WMCDATAPATH environment variable must be set before
- using WMC to a "WMC Data Directory", which is a directory other than the
- WMC installation directory. The directory can reside on the server or
- the client workstation. The WMC DATA Directory must be a unique
- directory for each client workstation if the directory(s) reside on a
- server. Up to 100 configurations can be saved and restored per WMC Data
- Directory. If each user of the workstation sets the WMCDATAPATH
- environment variable to a different WMC Data Directory, then each user
- can save and restore up to 100 configurations. In this case, the
- WMCUSER environment variable must also be set before using WMC to a
- unique value for each user; otherwise, WMC will not work properly.
- Normally, the WMCDATAPATH and WMCUSER variables are set in the
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Example:
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
- set WMCDATAPATH=c:\wmcdata\joe ' where c: points to a local drive
- set WMCUSER=joe
-
- Enhanced-Client/Server WMC:
- Enhanced-Client/server WMC supports the same as Client/Server WMC, but
- under certain situations it can also support a person or group using
- multiple client workstations (Person A uses workstation 1 and uses
- workstation 2). If a person uses multiple client workstations, then
- Enhanced Client/Server WMC will work if each of the client workstations
- are the same in hardware and software configuration. WMC saves and
- restores the Windows SYSTEM.INI file, which contains hardware and
- software specifics for a workstation. If the SYSTEM.INI values do not
- match the workstation hardware and software specifics, then Windows may
- not start!
-
- WMC is installed using the OPTIONAL installation method on a server.
- Client workstations connect to the server to execute WMC. Run
- CSSETUP.EXE, found in the WMC installation directory on the server, for
- each client to set up the WMC Program Manager Group and icons on the
- client(s). The WMCDATAPATH environment variable must be set before
- using WMC to a "WMC Data Directory", which is a directory other than the
- WMC installation directory. The directory must reside on a server. The
- WMC DATA Directory must be a unique directory for each client
- workstation. Up to 100 configurations can be saved and restored per WMC
- Data Directory. The WMCUSER environment variable must also be set
- before using WMC to a unique value for each user; otherwise, WMC will
- not work properly. If each user of the workstation sets the WMCDATAPATH
- environment variable to a different WMC Data Directory, then each user
- can save and restore up to 100 configurations. Normally, the
- WMCDATAPATH and WMCUSER variables are set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- Example:
- AUTOEXEC.BAT:
- set WMCDATAPATH=h:\wmcdata\joe ' where h: points to a server drive
- set WMCUSER=joe
-
-
- Manual Installation:
- If you are using a windows shell program other than Program Manager or
- Norton Desktop, you will have to manually create groups and group items
- for WMC. We recommend creating a group WMC. In group WMC, create
- seven items:
-
- 1. Description = Save Desktop
- Command Line = path\WMCSAVE.EXE
- Working Directory = path
- 2. Description = Restore Desktop
- Command Line = path\WMCSTRT.EXE /d/n
- Working Directory = path
- 3. Description = Quick Restore
- Command Line = path\WMCQSTR.EXE /?/? -- See WMC.WRI
- Working Directory = path
- 4. Description = Quick Save
- Command Line = path\WMCQSAV.EXE
- Working Directory = path
- 5. Description = Copy Groups
- Command Line = path\WMCCOPY.EXE
- Working Directory = path
- 6. Description = Refresh Desktop
- Command Line = path\WMCSTRT.EXE /R
- Working Directory = path
- 7. Description = WMC Help
- Command Line = path\JREWMC.HLP
- Working Directory = path
-
- In the startup/autostart group, we recommend placing the following item:
-
- 1. Description = Restore Desktop
- Command Line = path\WMCSTRT.EXE
- Working Directory = path
-
- NOTE: path represents the disk and directory where WMC was installed.
-
- NOTE 2: Existing WMC users MUST run SETUP.EXE to properly convert their
- pre-Version 2 configuration files to the new configuration file format!
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- GP fault occurs when run on a 286 machine. Problem is due to a bug in
- VBRUN300.DLL. You must use VBRUN300.DLL dated 5/12/93 or later to fix
- this problem.
