From the Author: ---------------- Updates to this program will be made available at the URL: http://alf.usask.ca/~cgm133/popman.html Any reports of bugs or suggestions for improvement are welcome (address at bottom of this file, as well as in registration form). Depending on various factors (interest, free time, new versions of Windows, Visual Basic, etc.), some new features may be added to future revisions of PopMan. Suggestions for such features are also most welcome. Files included in this archive (popman11.zip): --------------------------------------------- *** ICONTEST.TXT File containing information about a PopMan Icon contest! Please read if you are interested in winning a free registration! POPMAN.EXE The executable file. *** POPMAN.HLP Help file for PopMan -- NEW & UPDATED! POPREG.TXT Registration form in ASCII format. POPREG.WRI Registration form in .WRI format. (note: The two files above are basically the same information that is included in the registration form in the help file. Disclaimer and licence agreement are included in the registration form.) README.TXT This file. FILE_ID.DIZ Description of PopMan for BBS use. REVHIST.TXT PopMan revision history - changes, bug fixes, etc. Minimum Requirements for PopMan 1.1: ----------------------------------------- 1) Windows 3.1 or greater. 2) An operational mouse with at least two mouse buttons. 3) The file "VBRUN300.DLL" in your Windows "...\SYSTEM" directory (where "..." is the path in which your Windows executable file resides), or in some subdirectory in your path. How to install PopMan 1.1: ------------------------------ 1) Unzip the files "PopMan.exe" and "PopMan.hlp" into a subdirectory of your choice (you don't need to unzip the help file, "PopMan.hlp" if you don't want to, or if you already have it from version 1.0, but you may find it useful. You can remove it at any time). 2) Execute the file "PopMan.exe" in normal Windows fashion. A dialog asking you to select a launch method from the setup screen will appear, followed by the setup dialog. Once you select a "launch method" and save your choice, in the future when PopMan runs, nothing will appear on your screen (except if you choose the "icon" launch method) until you "trigger" its menu by employing your chosen launch method. 4) To configure PopMan & its menus the way you want it, choose "Configure...PopMan Setup" (for general options) and "Configure...PopMan Menus..." (to add/change items to the popup menus) from the PopMan menu. You may, of course, repeat this step as often as you like, whenever you like! 5) Put PopMan in your "Startup" group if you want to have it run every time you launch Windows. This is the suggested way to use PopMan, since it guarantees that it will be available at a mouse (or hotkey) click.
