If any files are missing, please notify the sysop of the
BBS from which you obtained the zipped file, or notify
Jim Shepherd on CompuServe (71664,2255), or Shepherd
Software at the address given at the end of this
document. Thanks
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Feel free to upload Handyman Wallpaper Hanger 1.1 to your
favorite BBS's (in fact, I hope you will). However, please
be sure to include all the files listed above so that people
who download Handyman can install it successfully and can
use it to its fullest capabilities.
2. If you do upload Handyman, PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR
"HANDY11.INI" FILE. This file is unique to your preferences
and may cause unsatisfactory results for someone else.
The compressed file, HANDY11.IN_, contains the proper
defaults for first time users and should be included
in the zipped file you upload.
3. Handyman Wallpaper Hanger 1.1, and its setup program, require
the file VBRUN300.DLL to be in your path or in your Windows
"System" directory in order to run.
Neither Handyman nor its setup program will work with
VBRUN200.DLL or VBRUN100.DLL. You can obtain VBRUN300.DLL
from the Windows Shareware Forum on CompuServe, most BBS's,
or the shareware vendor from which you obtained Handyman.
4. Handyman requires versions of MicroSoft's CMDIALOG.VBX and
THREED.VBX (both included with Handyman) with program dates of
04/28/93 or later. Handyman will not work properly with earlier
versions of those files.
If the zipped file you downloaded does not contain CMDIALOG.VBX
and THREED.VBX with program dates of 04/28/93 or later, please
notify the sysop of the BBS where you obtained Handyman, and
also notify Shepherd Software at the address given at the end
of this document.
5. THE HANDYMAN INSTALLATION PROGRAM DOES NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES
TO WIN.INI OR SYSTEM.INI, OR ANY OTHER FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER
AND WILL NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILE WHICH HAS A NEWER DATE THAN THE
ONE IT IS INSTALLING.
When you use Handyman, all of the preferences you select in
Handyman are saved in the "handy11.ini" file, which is stored
in your Handyman directory.
6. If you want to get started right away, there's an item on
Handyman's Help menu called "Getting Started" which will
provide you with the minimum information necessary to begin
using Handyman.
7. Handyman includes a feature called Magic Target Help
which allows you to easily call up information and help
on objects and menu items by clicking on them when Magic
Target Help is turned on. A good way to familiarize yourself
with Handyman is to turn on Magic Target Help and take a
tour of Handyman's features.
INSTALLATION
During installation, Handyman's setup program will suggest a
directory for Handyman's files. You can accept the suggested
directory or type in a different one. If the directory does not
exist, the setup program will create it.
After installing Handyman, the setup program will automatically
create a program group called "Shepherd Software" and will install
Handyman's icon in it. If this offends you, simply move the
Handyman program icon to another group by dragging it to another
program group's open window and dropping it there. You can then
delete the Shepherd Software program group by single-clicking on it
to highlight it and then choosing Delete from Program Manager's
File menu.
HANDYMAN'S SETUP PROGRAM DOES NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR WIN.INI
OR SYSTEM.INI FILES. IT ALSO WILL NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILE WHICH HAS
A NEWER DATE THAN THE FILE IT IS INSTALLING.
To install Handyman from diskette, do the following:
NOTE: VBRUN300.DLL must be installed in your path or in your
Windows "System" directory in order to use the setup program
(and to run Handyman).
1. Place the Handyman diskette in your A: or B: drive.
2. From Program Manager, choose Run... from the File menu.
3. In the box which appears, type "A:\setup" or B:\setup"
(without the quotes).
4. Click OK or press ENTER.
To install Handyman from a zipped file, do the following:
NOTE: VBRUN300.DLL must be installed in your path or in your
Windows "System" directory in order to use the setup program
(and to run Handyman).
1. Unzip HANDY11.ZIP.
2. From Program Manager, choose Run... from the File menu.
3. In the box which appears, type the complete path to Handyman's
setup program. For example, if you unzipped HANDY11.ZIP in your
"Download" directory on your C: drive, you would type
"C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE" (without the quotes).
4. Click OK or press ENTER.
5. Once Handyman has been successfully installed, you can delete all
the files which were included in HANDY11.ZIP so long as you didn't
install Handyman into the same directory that contains those files.
In that case, delete ONLY the following files:
cmdialog.vb_
file_id.diz
handy11.ex_
handy11.hl_
handy11.in_
setup.exe
setup.lst
setup1.ex_
setupkit.dl_
threed.vb_
ver.dl_
Be sure to leave handy11.exe, handy11.ini, handy11.hlp, and
readme.txt in your Handyman directory.
UN-INSTALL
I hope you will like using Handyman, but if you decide to
remove it from your computer, do the following:
1. Delete all the files from your Handyman directory.
2. Remove (delete) your Handyman directory.
3. You may want to delete the following files which were installed
in your Windows "System" directory by Handyman's setup program:
cmdialog.vbx
threed.vbx
**HOWEVER, DO NOT DELETE THESE .VBX FILES if you have MicroSoft
Visual Basic (any version), Standard or Professional editions
since you need these files for yourself. Also, do not delete
these files if they are needed by another Visual Basic
application. You also should not delete VBRUN300.DLL since you
will need that file in order to run other Visual Basic
applications. I know this is all probably self-evident but
it's easy to make mistakes in the heat of the moment.
4. Remove the Handyman program icon by single-clicking on it to
highlight it and then choosing Delete from Program Manager's
File menu.
5. If your Shepherd Software program group is now empty, you can
remove (delete) it by single-clicking on it to highlight it and
then choosing Delete from Program Manager's File menu.
