CLIPBOARD EXTENDER 3.0 INSTALLATION

Clipboard Extender requires Windows 3.1 or later.  As it is written in
Visual Basic 3.0, the VB runtime module is also required.  This file
can be found on virtually every national online network, and most local
Bulletin Board Systems.  Please read this entire file before installing
Clipboard Extender.

Thank you for evaluating Clipboard Extender.

INSTALLATION

1.  Ensure that the following files are included in your copy of the 
ZIP and that they have all been unzipped to a TEMPORARY directory or
a blank floppy disk.  Do NOT unzip these files to the directory that 
Clipboard Extender will be installed to.  Some of these files are only 
needed for the setup program.

	setup.exe		-the setup program
	clipext.ex_		-the executable file
	clipext.hl_		-the Windows help file
	clipext.wr_		-the documentation file
	subez.vb_		-a custom control file
	cmdialog.vb_		-Windows common dialog box interface
	readme.txt		-introduction file
	changes.txt		-summary of changes from version 2.1
	file_id.diz		-BBS description file
	setupkit.dll		-required file for setup program only
	ver.dll			-required file for setup program only

Also required, but not included in order to minimize the download time, is
the vbrun300.dll file.  If you don't already have this file, it can be 
downloaded from most bulletin boards.  Place this file in your 
Windows\System directory.  Once you have vbrun300.dll, you can run all 
other programs written with Visual Basic 3.0:  you only need one copy of 
it, as long as it is in the \System directory.  

NOTE:  Many programs were (or are) written with Visual Basic 1.0 and 
require the vbrun100.dll runtime module or, with Visual Basic 2.0 and 
require the vbrun200.dll runtime module.  These programs will not work 
with vbrun300.dll and programs written with Visual Basic 3.0 will not 
work with vbrun100.dll. or vbrun200.dll. You must have the runtime module 
which corresponds to the version of Visual Basic the program was written 
with.  Documentation for any program written with Visual Basic should 
clearly state which version of the runtime module is required.

2.  After verifying that vbrun300.dll is properly installed in your 
Windows\System directory, run the setup.exe program included in the ZIP.  
Clipboard Extender must be installed using the setup program, as most of 
the files are compressed.  You cannot simply copy the files to a directory.

NOTE:  setup.exe will not run if vbrun300.dll is not properly installed 
first.

3.  Follow the instructions and prompts in the Setup program to complete
the installation.

4.  When Setup has completed, you can delete the source files in the 
temporary directory.

Clipboard Extender runs minimized by default.  If the program does not 
appear to be running, but can be accessed by Alt-Tabbing and appears in 
the Task List, you are probably running Program Manager (or another 
program) full screen, which is covering up Clipboard Extender's icon.  
Either minimize Program Manager or restore it to a smaller window by 
clicking on the double-ended arrow in the upper right corner.

For detailed information on how to use Clipboard Extender, see the
CLIPEXT.WRI file.
