- This is the README.TXT file distributed with
- Icon Manager for Windows NT version 3.4.
-
- Awarded 1st Place - Microsoft Windows NT
- Shareware Contest
-
- OVERVIEW
- --------
- Icon Manager is a powerful tool for working with
- icons in the Windows NT operating environment. The
- same drag-and-drop interface used by Program Manager
- allows icons to easily be moved, copied, and organ-
- ized into files within Icon Manager. Unlike other
- applications which offer awkward procedures for
- installing icons into Program Manager, Icon Manager
- will install icons into Program Manager or Norton
- Desktop DIRECTLY using the wizardry of Windows'
- Dynamic Data Exchange. For those who would like
- to create or edit their own icons, Icon Manager
- taps the power of OLE to whisk you into a edit
- session with Paintbrush by just double-clicking on
- an icon. All of these features and more make
- Icon Manager the most complete icon tool available
- for the Windows operating environment.
-
- This version of Icon Manager has been created
- specifically for the Windows NT operating system.
-
-
- REGISTRATION
- ------------
- Icon Manager is not free software. It is released
- as shareware, which provides the opportunity for
- the program to be evaluated before it is purchased.
-
- We hope that after you try Icon Manager you will
- like it so much that you will want to register.
- By doing so you are voting with your pocketbook for
- us to continue developing high-quality, Windows
- shareware.
-
- Complete information on how to register Almanac
- is included in the REGISTER.TXT file.
-
-
- DOCUMENTATION
- -------------
- Icon Manager includes on-line help that covers all
- aspects of program operation. It can be accessed
- directly from Icon Manager's menu bar by selecting
- 'Help'.
-
-
- INSTALLING ICON MANAGER for the WINDOWS NT O/S
- -----------------------------------------------
- Icon Manager should be installed while running
- under the logon ID of the Icon Manager user.
- Configuration information is maintained for the
- user in their area of the system registry.
-
- The Icon Manager package includes a graphical Windows
- installation program using the standard name of SETUP.EXE.
- You should place all of the files included in the package
- on a floppy disk or in a temporary directory of your hard
- drive.
-
- SETUP requires about 240K bytes of hard disk space to
- complete the installation of Icon Manager.
-
- Run SETUP by selecting the 'Run...' command from the
- File menu of Program Manager or File Manager. Enter
- "d:\SETUP" as the Command Line, where "d" is the
- drive/directory that you are installing Icon Manager FROM
- (i.e. A:\SETUP).
-
- SETUP will display an Installation Control window that
- it pre-sets with the most common defaults for instal-
- lation. Pushbuttons allow you to change any of the
- settings to meet your own preferences.
-
-
- NEW FEATURES IN THE 3.4 RELEASE OF ICON MANAGER
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- The following additions and changes have been added in
- the 3.4 release of Icon Manager:
-
- - The program has been generally updated to
- make it a more solid application when
- it encounters unknown or bad data, and
- to provide feedback to the user to indicate
- the source of the problem.
-
- - The Status bar now displays the progress
- while sorting (aligning) icons and the
- progress of multiple icon moves or copies.
-
- - A Most Recent Used (MRU) file list has
- been added to the File menu. The last
- four files that are opened or saved will
- be available at the end of the File menu
- for quick access.
-
- - Sometimes the icon Arrange commands would
- cause an error in version 3.3. This has
- been corrected.
-
- - The overall presentation of the program
- has been updated with the buttonface
- texture and 3D dialog look.
