DayWatch Installation notes: DayWatch was written in Visual Basic 3.0 and requires the following files: Filename: Must be located in: (after setup) -------------|--------------------------------------------------------- DWxxx.EXE User defined ( Default = C:\DAYWATCH ) (xxx is the version number ie. DW196.EXE etc.) DW.HLP Same directory as DWxxx.EXE VBRUN300.DLL Windows System Directory ( Usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM ) THREED.VBX Windows System Directory ( Must be dated 07/16/1993+ ) CMDIALOG.VBX Windows System Directory COMMDLG.DLL Windows System Directory MMSYSTEM.DLL Windows System Directory The setup files included with this shareware version are: DWxxx.EXE, DW.HLP, CMDIALOG.VBX, FILE_ID.DIZ, ORDER.FRM, THREED.VBX SETUP.EXE and README.TXT. A file named ORDER.INF may or may not be included. The file VBRUN300.DLL can be downloaded from most on-line services and local bulletin boards. COMMDLG.DLL and MMSYSTEM.DLL are already in your Windows\System directory if you're running Windows 3.1 or above. If you already have a visual basic 3.0 program on your system, chances are, you already have these files (except the .EXE and .HLP files) and don't need to download them. You may find that you have an older version of THREED.VBX located in your C:\WINDOWS directory. This will cause buttons & controls in DayWatch to appear strange. If this is the case, you can copy over the older version with the newer version of THREED.VBX provided the old software already on your system will run correctly with the newer version. Most older software will run just fine with the updated version of THREED.VBX. Be sure to keep a backup copy of the older version just in case. YOU MUST HAVE "VBRUN300.DLL" IN YOUR WINDOWS\SYSTEM DIRECTORY PRIOR TO RUNNING SETUP.EXE. To install: 1. Make note of what drive and directory these setup files are located in. 2. Run SETUP.EXE from Program Managers File/Run drop down menu. 3. Just follow instructions for directory location selections. Note: Under File/Properties in the Program Manager, be sure to set the WORKING DIRECTORY the same as the directory that DayWatch is run from. This is so DayWatch can find the help file DW.HLP. You can determine what directory DayWatch looks for the help file in by clicking on Help-Information in the event list menu.The box labeled Working Directory is where the help file "DW.HLP" should be. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contacting the author: I can be reached by e-mail at: Compuserve address: 72064,1161 Internet address: 72064.1161@compuserve.com Snail-mail: Dan Hounchell P.O. Box 627 Foresthill, Ca. 95631 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration: To register this program, print the file: ORDER.FRM, fill it out and send it along with $27.50 (US) to the mailing address shown above. I also plan on submitting this program to the WINSHARE forum on CompuServe. If you have a CompuServe account, you can register this program by typing GO SWREG and entering the registration number for this program. When I receive this number, I will update this readme file with that information. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Known Bugs: When quickly swiching between event lists or scrolling through the quick list, you may get a system error message that reads: "An error has occured in your application if you choose Ignore, you should save your work in a new file If you choose Close, your application will terminate" [Close] [Ignore] If you get this message, you can click on IGNORE and DayWatch will continue without problems. This error is due to a problem with Visual Basic itself and, hopefully, I will have a workaround for this in the near future. 11-05-1995: Addendum: Version 1.92 seems to have cleared this up. If this bug (or any other for that matter) shows up, please let me know as I sincerely intend to support and continue to improve this program. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Notice: This software may be freely distributed as long as all associated files are included in the bundeled group of files and that there are no additions, deletions or modifications to any of the files contained in this package.
