- DayWatch Installation notes:
-
- DayWatch was written in Visual Basic 3.0 and requires the following files:
-
- Filename: Must be located in: (after setup)
- -------------|---------------------------------------------------------
- DW.EXE User defined (Default = C:\DAYWATCH)
- DW.HLP Same directory as DWxxx.EXE
- VBRUN300.DLL Windows System Directory ( Usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM )
- THREED.VBX Windows System Directory ( Must be dated 07/16/1993+ )
- CMDIALOG.VBX Windows System Directory
- COMMDLG.DLL Windows System Directory
- MMSYSTEM.DLL Windows System Directory
-
- The setup files included with this shareware version are:
- DW.EXE, DW.HLP, CMDIALOG.VBX, FILE_ID.DIZ, ORDER.FRM, ORDER.INF, THREED.VBX
- SETUP.EXE and README.TXT.
- A file named ORDER.INF may or may not be included.
-
- The file VBRUN300.DLL can be downloaded from most on-line services and local
- bulletin boards.
- COMMDLG.DLL and MMSYSTEM.DLL are already in your Windows\System directory if
- you're running Windows 3.1 or above.
-
- If you already have a visual basic 3.0 program on your system, chances are,
- you already have these files (except the .EXE and .HLP files) and don't need
- to download them.
-
- You may find that you have an older version of THREED.VBX located in your
- C:\WINDOWS directory. This will cause buttons & controls in DayWatch to appear
- strange. If this is the case, you can copy over the older version with the
- newer version of THREED.VBX provided the old software already on your system
- will run correctly with the newer version. Most older software will run just
- fine with the updated version of THREED.VBX. Be sure to keep a backup copy of
- the older version just in case.
-
- YOU MUST HAVE "VBRUN300.DLL" IN YOUR WINDOWS\SYSTEM DIRECTORY PRIOR TO RUNNING
- SETUP.EXE.
- To install:
- 1. Make note of what drive and directory these setup files are located in.
- 2. Run SETUP.EXE from Program Managers File/Run drop down menu.
- 3. Just follow instructions for directory location selections.
-
- Note:
- Under File/Properties in the Program Manager, be sure to set the WORKING
- DIRECTORY the same as the directory that DayWatch is run from. This is so
- DayWatch can find the help file DW.HLP. You can determine what directory
- DayWatch looks for the help file in by clicking on Help-Information in the
- event list menu.The box labeled Working Directory is where the help file
- "DW.HLP" should be.

- Known Bugs:
-
- The print screen functions (for the event list, calendar and picture viewer)
- will not work with some video drivers with more than 256 colors.If you want
- to print the screen, you can temporarily change your video driver to 256
- colors from the Windows Setup icon in the Main group.
- Other print functions are OK.
-
- When quickly swiching between event lists or scrolling through the quick list,
- you may get a system error message that reads:
-
- "An error has occured in your application
- if you choose Ignore, you should save your work in a new file
- If you choose Close, your application will terminate"
-
- [Close] [Ignore]
-
- If you get this message, you can click on IGNORE and DayWatch will continue
- without problems. This error is due to a problem with Visual Basic itself
- and, hopefully, I will have a workaround for this in the near future.
-
- 11-05-1995:
- Addendum: Version 1.92 seems to have cleared this up. If this bug (or any
- other for that matter) shows up, please let me know as I sincerely
- intend to support and continue to improve this program.
