*****VERSION 1.1 CMPQwk Reader Readme.txt*****
Version 1.1 fixes all KNOWN bugs that were in version 1.0. It uses a
totally new architecture and unpacker scheme. Many other features
were optimized, sped up, and so forth.
If you have any comments regarding this release, please feel
free to contact the author, Derek Backus, on one of the support
sites or via the various means mentioned in this file and the rest of
the program's documentation.
If you have a question or comment regarding the online documentation,
please route that to Todd Henschell on either of the Los Angeles area
support BBS systems or via the Internet to Henschel@PATCHBY.SPEEDWAY.NET.
Messages to the documentation's author left on other systems may not
receive a reply.
***
If you are upgrading from a previous version, just run the setup included
with this release, it will upgrade your version automatically. DO NOT
simply copy the files, you must run the SETUP to correctly install 1.1.
***
Our upgrade policy from other QWK readers has been vastly simplified.
Read UPGRADE.TXT or UPGRADE.WRI (if you like nice fonts) to see how to do
it. It's simple and fast.
***
If you are a registered user of 1.0 your key number will register
1.1. Run setup and all of your configuration settings will stay the
same. Only the appropriate files will be updated.
***** Please note the following: *****
1) You MUST HAVE WINDOWS 3.1 to run this program. Trying to run it
under Windows 3.0 will NOT WORK, so don't try it.
2) This program is not freeware. It is offered to the public as
shareware, which means you look at it, and if you like it and want
to use it forever and ever, you should pay for it. See the enclosed
text & WRI files for details on how to do that.
3) CMPQwk Reader is Copyright 1993 by Derek Backus and all rights are
reserved by him. The enclosed documentation and other text support
files are Copyright 1993 by Todd Henschell.
4) Please don't route messages to Compuserve through the Internet.
5) See the documentation or help file for ways to get in touch with
Derek Backus.
*****INSTALLING THE PROGRAM*****
It's pretty easy. You should have two zip files. One is CQWK110A.ZIP
and the other is CQWK110B.ZIP. The second file isn't MANDATORY for
operation of the program, but unless you have it, CMPQwk isn't going to
spell check your messages. The dictionary for that is enclosed in the
second file.
If you've installed version 1.0, save your *.CMP files if you'd like by
copying them to a floppy or safe directory and then back to your
CMPQwk directory after setup is through. Please delete any copies of
WUNA.DLL or WUNADLL.DLL from your system. Version 1.1 uses an entirely
different unpacking scheme than 1.0, and these DLL's are not required.
The program WILL NOT operate WITHOUT running setup.exe to install it.
Copying it to a directory and trying to run it will just cause it to
fail, so don't bother trying that. Run setup to correctly install it.
You must have the following:
1) Windows 3.1 up and running with at least two megs of
RAM.
2) About 3.2 megabytes of free disk space on a drive
where you can *install* the program.
3) About 3.2 megabytes of disk space to unpack the zip
files (into a temp directory) so you can run the
setup. C:\temp will work fine, try to make it
a new or empty directory so you can delete the files
after you run the install. Keep the zips, but you won't
need the files you put into the temp dir after they're
installed, so delete them when SETUP is finished.
All this being satisfied, unpack both zip files into your temp dir
and run the SETUP.EXE program, either by double-clicking it in a File
Manager directory window, or clicking on Program Manager's File, Run,
menu, and then entering the path to the SETUP.EXE file and pressing ENTER..
Tell SETUP where you want to put the program. The default should work
for most folks. Put it where you'd like it, but it's best to put it in
its own directory, and not with something else.
Setup will copy the files and advise you when it's finished. If you
are using Program Manager as your shell, it will offer to put an icon
for CMPQwk there for you. Choose which group you'd like to use.
Double-click on the Program Manager icon, or double-click on the
CMPQWK.EXE file in a File Manager window.
The first time the program loads it will open a sample packet. Read
through the sample packet to see explanations on some of the features.
Enjoy.
