=================================================================
WinWisdom v4.0 - Copyright (c) 1992-1993 by Richard Pitts.
All rights reserved.
=================================================================
To install WinWisdom 4.0 run SETUP.EXE and answer the prompts
as they appear. All of the necessary files will be decompressed
and loaded into the proper directory. A progress gauge will be
displayed showing the percentage completion. A Program Manager
group will also be added for you.
IMPORTANT NOTE #1: There have been a couple of reports of the
setup program failing on MSAJT110.DL1. If this happens to you,
first try ending all other running Windows programs except Program
Manager. Then rerun setup from the File | Run menu of Program
Manager. If that doesn't work, all of the WinWisdom files can be
decompressed with the DOS command EXPAND. Extensions will be one
of these: TXT, MSD, DLL, EXE, VBX, or HLP. The exception is
MSAJT110.DL1 and MSAJT110.DL2. Combine those two files first using
DOS command 'COPY MSAJT110.DL1 + MSAJT110.DL2 MSAJT110.DL_'. You
can then expand MSAJT110.DL_ to MSAJT110.DLL. When all of the
files have been expanded, see README.TXT for the final file
dispositions. You can then setup a Program Manager group for all
of the WinWisdom executables.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: The setup program will install some files
into the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Under certain circumstances,
the setup program may fail if a file it is loading into your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory is already in your WINDOWS directory.
If this happens, you will receive a message stating which file
could not be loaded. Search your WINDOWS directory for another
file with the same name and rename it. Run SETUP.EXE again.
IMPORTANT NOTE #3: If you have an older version of THREED.VBX in
your WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, this setup program will
fail. A bug in Microsoft's setup software will not copy this file
due to a change in file type. To get around this problem move or
rename the THREED.VBX that you already have then run SETUP.EXE
again. After the install completes, keep the most current
THREED.VBX.
IMPORTANT NOTE #4: Due to another bug in Microsoft's setup software
this program might fail on file VER.DLL. If it does, move or
rename the VER.DLL that you already have then run SETUP.EXE
again. After the install completes, keep the most current VER.DLL.
ONE MORE NOTE: If you are installing this version of WinWisdom
on a system which has a previous release of WinWisdom on it,
you will get a file error when you execute either of the
WinWisdom programs. This release uses a completely new database
which is incompatable with the old database. Since the WINWIS.INI
file used by your old version points to an old file, the new
programs will not recognize the old files as WinWisdom files.
When you receive the file error, just use 'Open' or 'Select file
to use' from the 'File' menu to select one of the new files.
You can prevent this problem from happening by deleting WINWIS.INI
PRIOR to installing the new version. Registered users will receive
a conversion program which will convert the old file format into
the new file format. See REGISTER.TXT for information on how to
register WinWisdom.
Once installed, read the README.TXT file for additional notes and
instructions.
