- Filename Size Date Time CRC32
- FILE_ID.DIZ 186 16-Jan-1997 12:45p BB52C152
- URL.DLL 111616 16-Nov-1995 08:26a 671E5555

- README.TXT 34023 16-Jan-1997 12:43p 2AC5F29B
-
-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- * Before you do anything if you've been using a previous copy of Dunce
- delete the shortcut in the StartUp Items, just trust me on this one okay.
- Also make sure that you Quit out of the old version of Dunce, you can do
- this by Right Clicking on the small icon next to the clock in your
- taskbar
- and then clicking on the Quit button.
-
- * Now expand Dunce into a directory of its own, probably c:\dunce, with
- whatever program you use to extract zip files.
-
- * Now all you have to do is run the dunce.exe file.
-
- * Dunce will prompt you if you want it to install it as a StartUp Item.
- Please say Yes to this prompt. Dunce will only work if it is loaded.
- You can load it manually whenever you want it if you want but it is so
- small that there is little reason for this. This operation places a
- value into the Registry. The readme.txt file details where this value
- is placed.
-
- * If you do not already have a file named URL.DLL in your System
- Directory Dunce may prompt you if you want to install the URL.DLL
- file into your System Directory. If you intend to use the AutoDial
- feature say yes to this prompt. The AutoDial feature allows Dunce to
- dial into your Internet Provider when a WinSock program requests a
- Network Resource. Some Users may already have the URL.DLL file since it
- is included in Microsoft Plus! and Internet Explorer 2.x and 3.x. If
- you already have this file Dunce will not prompt nor replace the file.
-
- NOTE ALL ENTERED PASSWORDS FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF DUNCE ARE LOST WHEN
- YOU INSTALL THIS VERSION. THIS IS DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE ENCRYPTION
- ROUTINE.
