Introduction

Welcome to Nocturnal Omissions©,  the SCR Collection. I hope you find these screen savers enjoyable.

System Requirements: 80386 or higher CPU running Windows 3.1 or later.

Features:

1.	Three-D dialog boxes implemented with CTL3DV2.DLL.

2.	ShellAbout() style "About..." Dialog Boxes.

3.	Context-Sensitive Help File.

4.	Three-D dialog boxes in Help File implemented with WH3DV2.DLL.

4.	Convenient Windows based Setup Program.

Installation: The included Setup program will copy the three Nocturnal Omissions *.SCR files plus their help file  your Windows subdirectory, usually C:\WINDOWS. Version checking is done when CTL3DV2.DLL is copied to the Windows SYSTEM directory. This prevents an outdated DLL "breaking" other software on your system. To run the SETUP program, open the Program Manager File menu and choose Run. In the Run dialog box type a:setup (or b:setup if you are using drive b:). Press Enter. The setup program begins. Follow the instructions on the screen.

The author welcomes your questions and comments. Please direct all correspondence to the addresses given in this help file.
