===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
A. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
LOWDOWN ON DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS for Windows will work with
anyIBM or compatible PC running Windows 3.1 or Win 95 with a VGA
graphics card and hard disk drive with about 2.5 megabytes of free disk
space. (An extra 1.0 megabytes is temporarily needed for installation.)
B. INSTALLATION OVERVIEW FOR A BBS DOWNLOAD
Before you can use LOWDOWN ON DOCTORS,... for Windows you have to run
the SETUP program from Window's Program Manager so it will work properly
on your computer. YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE UNZIPPED FILES TO A DIRECTORY
ON YOUR HARD DISK. DLP_PACK.EXE is a self extracting archive. The SETUP
program will expand it; put files in their correct places; and optionally
create a Windows Program Group.
C. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Although the program can be installed to any Target Directory on any Hard
Disk Drive, the instructions below assume that you are using the default
values of:
Hard Disk Drive: C:
Source Directory: \DOWNLOAD (Where the UnZipped Files are Located.)
Target Directory: \DLP25
If you use different values modify the instructions accordingly.
We suggest that you Move LAW_JK25.ZIP to a floppy disk and save it as
your backup copy before proceeding.
1. The installation process is started by running SETUP. Since SETUP is
a Windows application, you must start Windows (if you haven't
already done so), then:
Windows 3.1 Users - select Files|Run from Program Manager's menu.
Windows 95 Users - select Start|Run.
In the provided text box type C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP and click <OK>.*
(* Where "DOWNLOAD" is the name of the directory containing
the UnZipped files from LAW_JK25.ZIP.)
2. SETUP assumes you will install to C:\DLP25. You will be given the
opportunity to change this assumption. SETUP will also ask your
permission to create a DOCTORS, LAWYERS... Program Group and populate
it with group files. Unless you'd prefer to do this yourself, we'd
suggest you answer "Yes." **
3. The entire SETUP procedure takes about four minutes. Much of that
time will be spent unpacking compressed files. When SETUP is done,
there will be about a six second delay when nothing seems to be
happening, and then LOWDOWN ON DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS
will start to run.
4. After the program has run, you can delete all the LDLP files NOT in
the target directory, such as LAW_JK25.ZIP and DLP_PACK.EXE.
** Please wait three seconds before answering "Yes." This
dialog will briefly flash on the screen before the
files have been unpacked. Some 386 owners, with
quick reflexes, have managed to answer "Yes" before
the files have been unpacked. If you wait three
seconds, you're sure to answer "Yes" at the right time.

HINTS AND TIPS
When you start LOWDOWN ON DOCTORS, LAWYERS AND POLITICIANS, the first
screen that will appear is the Quick Start Menu dialog. Select the
"Memo" pushbutton. You'll see it in the lower right hand corner of
the dialog. It has the caption "Hints and Tips." It'll put you into
the help system and give you a brief summary of useful program
information.
----------------------
Quote-A-Day is an optional feature that enables you to start every
Windows session with a quote or joke.
Here's how it works: Windows has a StartUp group. Each time Windows
starts it will automatically run the program(s) in its StartUp group.
We've added a command switch, "D" for Daily, to DLP that takes
advantage of this feature.
When you start DLP with the D command switch, all the opening
screens are bypassed. Your quote, selected by Quote-A-Day, will be
the first thing you see. When you're done reading it, you can
select the Exit command to immediately end the program or you can
take some other action.
All you have to do to activate this feature is copy the program
icon to your StartUp group, and then add the D command switch to
the Program Item Properties' Command Line as follows:
Change: C:\DLP25\DLP
To: C:\DLP25\DLP D
Detailed instructions for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 follow.
-----------------------
A. Windows 3.1
1. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | Doctors, Lawyers...
2. From Program Manager's Main Menu select Window | StartUp.
(Both groups should now be open on your Desktop. You may want
to move one group so you can see both of them.)
3. Press and hold down <CTRL> while you drag the DLP icon from
the Doctors, Lawyers... window to the StartUp window. (Notice
how the mouse pointer becomes a replica of the DLP icon.)
4. When the DLP icon is in the StartUp group window release both the
mouse button and the <CTRL> key.
5. From Program Manager's Main Menu select File | Properties and
the Program Item Properties dialog appears.
6. Press the <TAB> key once to move to the "Command Line."
7. Press the <END> key once to move to the end of the "Command Line."
8. Press the <SpaceBar> once and then type the letter D.
9. Click the OK button.
Quote-A-Day should now be enabled. It'll take effect the very next
time you start Windows.
-----------------------
B. Windows 95
1. Click the Start button, and then point to Settings.
2. Click Taskbar, and then click the Start Menu Programs tab.
3. Click Add, and then click Browse.
4. Type C:\DLP25\DLP D in the Command Line text box.
5. Click Next, and then double-click the StartUp folder.
6. Type the name that you want to see on the StartUp menu, if different
from the one that is shown, and then click Finish.
7. Click the Close Button of the Taskbar Properties Menu.
Quote-A-Day should now be enabled. It'll take effect the very next
time you start Windows.
-----------------------
If you're a new Windows user, we'll just mention that green text
in a Windows' help system designates a hypertext link. That means that
more, or related, information is available on that subject. You can
access it by positioning your mouse pointer on the green text and
clicking your left mouse button.
