INSTALLATION AND IMAGE DISPLAY:  TRAINS 1

1) INSTALLATION

   a) Make certain you are in Windows. The installation program
        will not run in DOS.

   b) Put Disk 1 (or the shareware disk) into your floppy drive.
        From you File Menu choose the Run option.Type a:\setup.exe 
        or b:\setup.exe, depending upon whether a or b is the letter
        assigned to your 3 1/2" diskette drive. Click on OK.

   c) Alternatively, open the directory and file display for
        your floppy drive and double click on setup.exe.  
   
2) IMAGE QUALITY: SUPER IMPORTANT!! DON'T SKIP THIS!!

    a) The graphics files in this product are superb 24 bit, 16
        million color images sized to 510 x 383 or less pixels/inch.  
        This nonstandard size is a limit of the developer environment 
        we author within and will no longer be a constraint as of 1996. 

   b) Unfortunately, 24 bit color images show degredation when 
       displayed at 256 color. To view these images with all the 
       brilliance and resolution they contain, change your monitor 
       resolution so as to display 16 million colors at 640 x 480 
       pixels. If you installed these images as a screen saver, 
       they will look best at 640 x480 because the image then 
       occupies most of the screen area. 

   c) Unless you have an old pre-1990 monitor, you already have 
        installed software to change the resolution of monitor. Such 
        software comes with all graphics cards and is preinstalled 
        when you buy a computer in the retail market. I cannot give 
        specifics here for the dozens of different graphics cards on 
        the market. If you haven't discovered this monitor utility, which 
        will be a Windows applet, consult the manual that came with 
        your graphics card. If you lost it, call the store where you 
        bought the computer or the manufacturer of the computer.

3) SCREEN SAVER   

       Either accept the default path and directory for installation or 
       edit to your own specifications. Choose whether or not to install  
       TRAINS 1 as one of your screen saver options  in the 
       Desktop Item of the Control Panel. Notice that the word 
       'default' in the dialog is confusing. There is no 'default' screen 
       saver in the Desktop Item. If you choose this option, TRAINS 1 
       will be installed as just one of your screen saver choices 
       under the name MINICAT in the proper alphabetical position. 
       However, it will automatically become the active screen saver. 
       See below for an explanation of 'MINICAT'. See the text file 
       'Your Windows Screen Saver' in the album for detailed 
       information about TRAINS 1 as a screen saver and 
       how to configure it. 

4) The installation will create a program group called MINICAT
       with a single item in it also called MINICAT. You may change
       the title of this icon to TRAINS 1 if you wish but 
       there are reasons not to do so as explained below.

5) Double Click upon the MINICAT icon and the opening screen of
       MINICAT is displayed. Notice the bar on the upper right which
       is labeled either TRAINS 1 SHAREWARE or TRAINS 1 
       REGISTERED. Double click on this bar and you will be 
       presented with the TRAINS 1 album main screen. If you 
       pause at the opening screen for several seconds, a slide 
       show of all images in the album will begin in the left window. 
       Notice that you can only exit the program from this opening 
       screen using the Close Button.

6) Registered users should realize that: 

    a) if you did not UNINSTALL the shareware version of  
        TRAINS 1 (see manual) and also,

    b) installed the registered version into the same directory as the
        shareware version (which happens automatically if you accept
        the default installation path), 

    c) THEN BOTH versions now reside within your MINICAT. If you 
        click the Open button at the bottom of the main screen, you will 
        see a list of installed CATALOGS:  TRAINS 1 SHAREWARE 
        and TRAINS 1 REGISTERED. 

        If you wish to delete the shareware version, you MUST use the 
        uninstall procedure outlined in the manual. If you simply delete 
        the directory and files, it is very likely your MINICAT viewer 
        will not function and you will have no access to the program 
        album.
