April/May, 1997

This is the README.TXT file for Chess Captor 1.20,
a product designed specifically for creating chess 
diagrams on the fly under Windows 95.


DOCUMENTATION
-----------------------
Chess Captor comes with its own help file. It is not 
very difficult to work with Chess Captor. You can run 
the help file independently from Chess Captor if you 
want to by double clicking the file "Captor.hlp"
in Windows Explorer.

You can access online help through the Contents window 
where the information is organized into books and 
chapters, or go directly to the Index window to look 
for specific references and keywords to help you locate 
the information that you are looking for.

For aditional information and possible updates on Chess 
Captor I advice you to visit the Chess Captor Home Page 
on the Internet at:

INSTALLING CHESS CAPTOR
--------------------------------------
Chess Captor is very easy to install. Chess Captor comes 
in two versions:
- CCAP120S.ZIP and
- CCAP120B.ZIP

IF YOU ARE NEW TO CHESS CAPTOR
  In this case you should download (have downloaded) 
  CCAP120S.ZIP because file this contains the setup 
  program that will install the ocx and dlls needed.

  Once you have downloaded CCAP120S.ZIP, unzip the 
  files contained in CCAP120S.ZIP into a temporary 
  directory. Double click the file setup.exe in 
  Windows Explorer or select start on the taskbar 
  and click on "Run...". In the dialog box that 
  appears typ the path to the setup.exe file.

  Setup will now prompt you to select a directory where 
  you would like to install Chess Captor. The default 
  destination is to \program files\ChessCaptor. Setup 
  will create a shortcut for Chess Captor on your task 
  bar.

  Once you have succesfully installed Chess Captor it is 
  safe to delete all the files you unzipped into the 
  temporary directory.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE VERSION 1.10
  You can upgrade to version 1.20 by unzipping all files 
  contained in CCAP120B.ZIP into the directory where Chess 
  Captor 1.10 resides. Select yes when asked to 
  replace/overwrite existing files.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE VERSION 1.0x
  If you have any of the versions 1.00, 1.01 or 1.02 on 
  your computer it is advisable to uninstall that version 
  first. You can these versions as follows:

  Click Start on the taskbar on select Control Panel. In 
  the Control panel window double click the icon named 
  "Add-Remove Programs". Another windows will appear 
  containing a list with names of programs. If you see 
  Chess Captor listed then double click on Chess Captor. 
  That's it.

  If you do not see "Chess Captor" written in the list 
  but do have Chess Captor on your system you can just 
  delete the old Chess Captor files. They are:
  * camra2.wav
  * Chess Captor.rio
  * Chess Captor.hlp
  * Chess Captor.cnt
  * Chess Captor.gid
  * Chess Captor.exe
  * Chess Captor.ini
  * hit.wav
  * license.txt
  * readme.txt
  * register.rtf
  * sfit2.wav
  * wow.wav

  Plus the following files if they exist:
  * Chess Captor.ftg
  * Chess Captor.fts

  Now please follow the steps described in "IF YOU ARE 
  NEW TO CHESS CAPTOR".


REGISTRATION
-------------------
Chess Captor is not free software. It is released as 
shareware, which provides the opportunity for the 
program to be evaluated before it is purchased.

I hope that when you try Chess Captor you will like it 
so much that you will want to register it.

Complete information on how to register Chess Captor is 
included in the REGISTER.RTF file. You can view and 
print the file from most text editors such as Wordpad or 
MS Word.


TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------
If you are having troubles starting Chess Captor and get 
messages stating that windows cannot find certain dlls 
then please read the following.

Chess Captor (Setup version) 'ships' without the 
following dlls although it needs them all:
- msvcrt20.dll
- msvcrt40.dll
- mfc40.dll
- vb40032.dll

These dlls were excluded because in most cases they 
are already on your hard disk and because their file size 
is quite large. If you need any of these dlls you can get 
them on the Chess Captor's Home Page at:
