-
- Welcome to Toolbox version 1.2. I'm very excited about this
- release because it's the best version yet. It's a whole new program,
- rewritten from the ground up. This version is so different it's
- more like an OS/2 desktop for Windows than a Windows desktop. Gone
- is the cumbersome old Workbench, Drivepak and Toolbox. They've been
- replaced by a slick new drag and drop icon-based interface that lets
- you drop files anywhere on the desktop. The new Drivepak lets you
- display as many desktop drive icons as you want and comes with an
- easy to use 'ini file setup' utility. The new Toolbox supports
- unlimited subgroups, icon selection from any file and drag and drop.
- to the desktop.
-
- The whole concept behind Toolbox is one of enhancement not
- replacement. You still need to use File Manager and I suggest you
- continue to use Program Manager. Of course if you want to you can use
- Toolbox to replace Program Manager entirely.
-
- There is some bad news for those who currently use Toolbox.
- Your ini files are not compatible with this version and you can't
- convert them. I'm sorry about that but it was unavoidable. I'm sure
- you'll understand once you start using version 1.2. Also during the
- installation make sure you install all the data files from TBox12.zip.
- You'll need them.
-
- Installing version 1.2 is easy. It comes with its own
- install utility. Just follow the instructions below an away you go!
-
- QUICK INSTALLATION
-
- Step 1. Copy Bwcc.dll into your Windows system directory (if its
- not already there). Install wont run without it.This is the
- latest file from Borland so check the date on yours and if
- it's earlier use this one!
-
- Step 2. Unzip TOOLBOX.ZIP into a Temporary directory or floppy
- disk.
-
- Step 3. Unzip one of the files IF640.zip, IF800.zip or IF1024.zip
- (eg for 640 by 480 (VGA) unzip IF640.zip) into the same
- directory as in step 2.
-
- Step 4. Run Install from the same directory as the program
- files and follow its instructions.
-
- Install will only take a few minutes of your time and it will back up any file
- it needs to change to a 'bak' file. If you find you don't like your new Toolbox just
- run Uninstall.
-
- Lastly, as you work your way through this new version spare
- a thought for its workmanship and consider registering your copy of
- the program.

-
- I hope you like this Toolbox version 1.2....Jeff.
