- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Mutilate is quite simple. The
- package includes a program, "SETUP.EXE", which automates the
- entire process.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Mutilate.
-
- On some systems you may need to download the correct VB5 runtime files
- (VB5 runtime files version SP3). If the files are needed on your system,
- Mutilate's setup program will display a "missing dll" or "wrong version
- of runtime file" message.
-
- VB5 runtime files are widely available on the Internet and local BBS's.
-
- Here is one site where you can find the files, if necessary:
- ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/dll/vb5rtsp3.zip
-
- Use the installation program provided with vb5rtsp3.zip to automatically
- install or update the runtime files. Once the runtime files are
- installed, begin the Mutilate setup program again.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place Mutilate distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
- appropriate diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "SETUP.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, find
- the file "A:\setup.exe" in Windows 95 Explorer and double click
- on it.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Mutilate files to that directory. If you received Mutilate
- on two diskettes, you will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette
- drive when asked to do so. If you so direct it, the installation
- program will install executable programs and documentation in
- other directories of your choice. It will make no other changes;
- specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
- files.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Mutilate from the Internet or a BBS (or received it in
- the form of archive files from some other source), you will need to
- perform the following steps:
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Close all open programs and then execute the "SETUP.EXE" program
- which you have extracted. For example, in Windows 95, if the
- temporary directory into which you have extracted the Mutilate
- package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the file by
- double-clicking on the file, "c:\tempdir\setup.exe" in Windows
- Explorer.
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Mutilate files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
- no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed Mutilate
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
- If you like, you can place the Mutilate icon on your desktop by
- dragging a shortcut to the mutilate.exe file onto your desktop area. To
- create the shortcut, right-click on the file 'Mutilate.exe' in Windows
- Explorer, and select "Create Shortcut".
-

- after the 30 day evaluation period. Registered users will receive a
- registration code that will allow continued use after the evaluation
