To install this new version as an update to an older version,
simply copy all files to the directory you are currently using
for Design SHELL.
NOTE !! If you have edited or changed any of the Design SHELL
Icons (DESIGN01.ICN to DESIGN49.ICN) and you do not
want them changed, you may want to copy them to a
temporary disk or directory first. Install this new
version of Design SHELL, run it at least one time and
then if you want to replace the new icons with your
changed ones, you can then copy them from the temporary
directory back into the DESIGN directory.
All of your existing Icons will work just fine with
this new version.
The included ICONS.EXE file contains over 600 Icons that can
be used with Design SHELL.
In order for DOS to handle this many files in one sub directory
it is highly recommended that you increase the BUFFERS statement
in your CONFIG.SYS file to: BUFFERS=60
If your DOS buffers is not big enough and you try to copy or
work with large file directories, you will see a drastic slow
down in speed any time you access this directory.
Design SHELL also uses this buffer when working with Icon files
so again if it is not big enough Design SHELL will be slowed
down drasticaly during the display of these files.
To install the ICONS.EXE file, simply copy it to the directory
that you want to use for storing your Icons in, move to that
directory and at the DOS prompt type: ICONS <enter>.
NOTE !! If you already have Icon files in this directory with
the same filenames you will be prompted if you want to
overwrite these files. If you do not want to be
prompted before overwrite, extract this Icon file by
typing: ICONS -O <enter>.
After all Icon files have extracted you may delete the ICONS.EXE
file to concerve disk space.
You may want to keep all your extra Icons in sepperate directories.
We suggest storing no more than 500 Icons per sub directory.
Remember this new version of Design SHELL (5.0a+) will read Icon
files from any drive or directory.
The DESIGN01.ICN to DESIGN49.ICN icon files and the Wallpaper image
files must be located in the same directory that the program files
are in.
