- the build number of the application, the basic specifications of your
- computer, and major software packages installed (eg. Plus!, Internet
- Explorer). If the bug is something that occurs while using the program,
- please describe exactly what happened in as much detail as you can remember
- (screen shots are also very often useful).

- ease of use, as well as any other comments you would like to make.

- It seems that this program has been uploaded to a few sites on the internet.

- try and keep track of these sites. The only site on the internet guaranteed
- to have the latest version of the program is my own web site.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- Installation Instructions:
-
- The program is distributed in three forms:
-
- * MORE20.ZIP - Program files only
- * MORE20S.ZIP - Small setup (does not include VB run-time libraries)
- * MORE20F.ZIP - Full setup (includes VB run-time libraries)
-
- If you downloaded one of the setup archives, just run SETUP.EXE to install
- the program. If you downloaded the small setup or the program files only,
- please make sure that you already have the VB run-time libraries in your
- Windows\System folder.
-
- If you used the setup to install version 2.01, and now downloaded one of
- the setup archives again, you should uninstall the previous installation
- before re-installing, otherwise the uninstall will not work correctly. The
- best way to upgrade may be to download MORE20.ZIP and just extract the files
- over the the existing installation.
-
- Run-time libraries required:
-
- * COMCTL32.OCX
- * MFC40.DLL
- * MSVCRT40.DLL
- * OLEPRO32.DLL
- * VB40032.DLL
- * VEN2232.OLB
-
- If you are missing any files required by the program, they may be downloaded
- from my web site.
-
- If you feel a little apprehensive about possible damage to your system that
- could be caused by the use of this software, then back up the SYSTEM.DAT and
- USER.DAT files before changing anything in case of the unlikely event that
- something goes wrong.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- Known Issues:
-
- * On some computers, the Startup settings don't seem to work. I called
- Microsoft about this problem, and they were unable to help me. It seems to
- depend on the BIOS (Windows 95 only).
- * The TreeView and ListView controls do not respond to system messages.
- * Adding Notepad and Quick View context menu items to all files can cause
- duplicate entries on the context menu for some file types.
- * Adding Notepad to all files causes it to become the default action for some
- file types. When this occurs, it also causes the Microsoft Office toolbar
- to open such files using Notepad.
- * Selecting the What's This help button and clicking an item will display the
- help for the previously selected item.
- * The Folder context menu default item list does not refresh if the Explore
- From Here check box state is changed.
- * System information incorrectly reports hard disks bigger than 2gb as being
- 2gb in Windows 95.
- * The program window cannot be activated via the tray icon if a common dialog
- is open.
- * Activating the Non-blinking Cursor setting causes the cursor to disappear
- in Microsoft Word 97 under certain circumstances.
- * Men Show Delay setting does not appear to have any effect with Internet
- Explorer 4.0.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- Known Bugs:
-
- * Clicking the Control Panel coolbar button causes an exception in Windows NT
- if Internet Explorer 4.0 is installed.
- * Changing the Printer icon does not have any visible effect.
- * Changing My Computer, Network Neighborhood, Control Panel and shell folder
- icons in Windows NT has no effect
- * "Shortcut to" prefix setting won't stick on some systems.
-
- =============================================================================
-
- Troubleshooting:
-
- * Error loading from DLL.
-
- Download STDOLE2.TLB from my web site.
-
- * Run-time error 31037, "Error loading from file."
-
- If you get this error while loading the application, the most likely
- cause is that there is a problem with COMCTL32.OCX. To remedy this,
- download a new copy of this file from my home page and use REGSVR32.EXE
- to register it (eg. REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMCTL32.OCX) if
- necessary. It is also possible that you could get this error if you do
- not have enough memory available to run the program.
-
- * Run-time error 367, "Can't load (or register) custom control COMCTL32.OCX."
-
- Please refer to the installations instructions at the beginning of this
- document for the list of required files, and make sure they are all
- in your Windows\System folder.
-
- * Cannot find MSVCRT.DLL/MSVCIRT.DLL
-
- MSVCRT.DLL and MSVCIRT.DLL can be downloaded from my web site if you
- require them. Most people do not need these files.
-
- * Unexpected error; quitting
-
- If you get this error message, please refer to the following article in
- the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
- http://www.microsoft.com/kb/articles/Q164/5/29.htm
- and download the file OADIST.EXE that is linked from that page
