- KrisCards REQUIREMENTS
- ----------------------
- a) an IBM PC/AT compatible computer
- b) EGA, VGA, or SVGA 16 color display
- c) 128 K available memory
- d) 2-4 MB free hard disk space
-
- Use of a mouse is supported but is not required.
-
- KrisCards may be run from Windows or the DOS prompt. We recommend
- printing this document if you plan to install the Windows option.
-
-
- KrisCards INSTALLATION
- -----------------------
- KrisCards should be installed in its own directory to prevent possible
- confusion with other files having the same extension. A separate
- directory will also simplify de-installation after seasonal use.
- Any directory name may be used but the Windows .PIF file should be
- updated to reflect the change. "C:\KC" is used in the PIF file.
-
- Card sets are shipped in the compressed ZIP 1.10 format. You will
- need a separate program to "unzip" the files. The preview file
- names are enclosed with curly brackets "{ }".
-
-
- INSTALLATION UNDER WINDOWS
- --------------------------
- KrisCards should be run in the FULL SCREEN mode. The KrisCards
- colors are not available when using the Windows 16 color driver.
- A partial screen will cause strange color combinations. We have
- included a conversion routine for images that you want to export
- to Windows. Use of the Clipboard requires the 386 Enhanced mode.
-
- This procedure has been tested with Windows 3.1. Other versions
- may require different steps. We will assume that the KrisCards
- program is installed in the C:\KC directory. Our "ShortCut Key"
- is ALT+K. Use the PIF Editor to make any changes to KRISCARD.PIF.
-
- 1. Click on the Program Group where you want the icon to be.
-
- 2. Click on FILE on the top bar.
-
- 3. Click on NEW and select Program ITEM. Click on OK.
-
- 4. Type in "KrisCards" for the Description. (Ignore parentheses)
-
- 5. Type "C:\KC\Kriscard" as the Command Line.
-
- 6. Type "C:\KC" for the Working Directory.
-
- 7. Click on CHANGE ICON.
-
- 8. Type "C:\KC\" in the file name window and click on BROWSE.
-
- 9. Click on any file with the .ICO extension for a preview.
- Click OK when you have made your selection.
- Click OK again from the CHANGE ICON menu.
- Click OK from the PROPERTIES menu.
-
- 10. KrisCards has been installed. Click on the icon to run the
- program. A three second delay follows any error messages.
- Press [Pause] to hold the screen and [Enter] to resume.
-
- NOTE: Contrary to popular belief, the icon file (.ICO) does not
- have to be on your hard drive. You may select any icon from a
- floppy disk since Windows makes a copy of the image and uses it
- for normal activities until you change screen drivers. You can
- substitute "A:\" or "B:\" for "C:\KC\" in step 8 if you choose.
