If any files are missing, please notify the sysop of the BBS from which you obtained the zipped file, or notify Jim Shepherd on CompuServe (71664,2255), or Shepherd Software at the address given at the end of this document. Thanks IMPORTANT NOTES 1. Feel free to upload Handyman Wallpaper Hanger 1.1 to your favorite BBS's (in fact, I hope you will). However, please be sure to include all the files listed above so that people who download Handyman can install it successfully and can use it to its fullest capabilities. 2. If you do upload Handyman, PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR "HANDY11.INI" FILE. This file is unique to your preferences and may cause unsatisfactory results for someone else. The compressed file, HANDY11.IN_, contains the proper defaults for first time users and should be included in the zipped file you upload. 3. Handyman Wallpaper Hanger 1.1, and its setup program, require the file VBRUN300.DLL to be in your path or in your Windows "System" directory in order to run. Neither Handyman nor its setup program will work with VBRUN200.DLL or VBRUN100.DLL. You can obtain VBRUN300.DLL from the Windows Shareware Forum on CompuServe, most BBS's, or the shareware vendor from which you obtained Handyman. 4. Handyman requires versions of MicroSoft's CMDIALOG.VBX and THREED.VBX (both included with Handyman) with program dates of 04/28/93 or later. Handyman will not work properly with earlier versions of those files. If the zipped file you downloaded does not contain CMDIALOG.VBX and THREED.VBX with program dates of 04/28/93 or later, please notify the sysop of the BBS where you obtained Handyman, and also notify Shepherd Software at the address given at the end of this document. 5. THE HANDYMAN INSTALLATION PROGRAM DOES NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO WIN.INI OR SYSTEM.INI, OR ANY OTHER FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER AND WILL NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILE WHICH HAS A NEWER DATE THAN THE ONE IT IS INSTALLING. When you use Handyman, all of the preferences you select in Handyman are saved in the "handy11.ini" file, which is stored in your Handyman directory. 6. If you want to get started right away, there's an item on Handyman's Help menu called "Getting Started" which will provide you with the minimum information necessary to begin using Handyman. 7. Handyman includes a feature called Magic Target Help which allows you to easily call up information and help on objects and menu items by clicking on them when Magic Target Help is turned on. A good way to familiarize yourself with Handyman is to turn on Magic Target Help and take a tour of Handyman's features. INSTALLATION During installation, Handyman's setup program will suggest a directory for Handyman's files. You can accept the suggested directory or type in a different one. If the directory does not exist, the setup program will create it. After installing Handyman, the setup program will automatically create a program group called "Shepherd Software" and will install Handyman's icon in it. If this offends you, simply move the Handyman program icon to another group by dragging it to another program group's open window and dropping it there. You can then delete the Shepherd Software program group by single-clicking on it to highlight it and then choosing Delete from Program Manager's File menu. HANDYMAN'S SETUP PROGRAM DOES NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO YOUR WIN.INI OR SYSTEM.INI FILES. IT ALSO WILL NOT OVERWRITE ANY FILE WHICH HAS A NEWER DATE THAN THE FILE IT IS INSTALLING. To install Handyman from diskette, do the following: NOTE: VBRUN300.DLL must be installed in your path or in your Windows "System" directory in order to use the setup program (and to run Handyman). 1. Place the Handyman diskette in your A: or B: drive. 2. From Program Manager, choose Run... from the File menu. 3. In the box which appears, type "A:\setup" or B:\setup" (without the quotes). 4. Click OK or press ENTER. To install Handyman from a zipped file, do the following: NOTE: VBRUN300.DLL must be installed in your path or in your Windows "System" directory in order to use the setup program (and to run Handyman). 1. Unzip HANDY11.ZIP. 2. From Program Manager, choose Run... from the File menu. 3. In the box which appears, type the complete path to Handyman's setup program. For example, if you unzipped HANDY11.ZIP in your "Download" directory on your C: drive, you would type "C:\DOWNLOAD\SETUP.EXE" (without the quotes). 4. Click OK or press ENTER. 5. Once Handyman has been successfully installed, you can delete all the files which were included in HANDY11.ZIP so long as you didn't install Handyman into the same directory that contains those files. In that case, delete ONLY the following files: cmdialog.vb_ file_id.diz handy11.ex_ handy11.hl_ handy11.in_ setup.exe setup.lst setup1.ex_ setupkit.dl_ threed.vb_ ver.dl_ Be sure to leave handy11.exe, handy11.ini, handy11.hlp, and readme.txt in your Handyman directory. UN-INSTALL I hope you will like using Handyman, but if you decide to remove it from your computer, do the following: 1. Delete all the files from your Handyman directory. 2. Remove (delete) your Handyman directory. 3. You may want to delete the following files which were installed in your Windows "System" directory by Handyman's setup program: cmdialog.vbx threed.vbx **HOWEVER, DO NOT DELETE THESE .VBX FILES if you have MicroSoft Visual Basic (any version), Standard or Professional editions since you need these files for yourself. Also, do not delete these files if they are needed by another Visual Basic application. You also should not delete VBRUN300.DLL since you will need that file in order to run other Visual Basic applications. I know this is all probably self-evident but it's easy to make mistakes in the heat of the moment. 4. Remove the Handyman program icon by single-clicking on it to highlight it and then choosing Delete from Program Manager's File menu. 5. If your Shepherd Software program group is now empty, you can remove (delete) it by single-clicking on it to highlight it and then choosing Delete from Program Manager's File menu.
