MOZART READ1ST.TXT CONTENTS MOZART Information MOZART Installation Instructions MOZART Further Information MOZART Enquiries ------------------ MOZART Information ------------------ VERSIONS OF MOZART INCLUDED Within the installation package there are two versions of MOZART: version 1, the original program for Windows 3.1 and version 2 for Windows 95 and Windows NT. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, then version 2 will install automatically. There is no reason to install version 1, as it will do nothing which version 2 cannot. If you are running Windows 3.1 or 3.11, then version 1 will install automatically. You can run the installation again if you upgrade to Windows 95 to take advantage of the extra features of version 2. UPWARD COMPATIBILITY Music files created by MOZART are upwardly compatible. That is to say that MOZART 2 will read the files created by MOZART 1 but not vice versa. -------------------------------- MOZART Installation Instructions -------------------------------- 1. DISTRIBUTION FILES There are two forms in which you may have got this version of MOZART: A) You got the evaluation version in the form a zip file, with a name like MOZART20.ZIP, from a bulletin board, via the internet, from CompuServe, or on a CD-ROM. (The zip file names may vary: the two digits in the name reflect the version.) B) You have a disk or disks containing one or more files, including the installation program SETUP.EXE and a file READ1ST.TXT 2. UNZIPPING If you found MOZART in form (A), and have not yet unzipped the file, then you have to do this first. Unzip the ZIP file into a temporary directory. This is done using the utility PKUNZIP.EXE (or equivalent) which you should find on internet, CompuServe, or wherever you found the MOZART ZIP file. 3. INSTALLATION FILES Having unzipped the file, or having found MOZART in form (B) above, you will see a file setup.exe which installs MOZART. The file readme.1st contains useful information for installing. (It is one of the files containing this information and you may be reading it now!) IMPORTANT NOTE: If these installation files are put on your hard disk, they must be put in a (temporary) directory which must NOT be the directory you are about to install MOZART into. 4. INSTALLING MOZART Installation is done by running the program setup.exe supplied in the set of MOZART installation files. If your installation files (including setup.exe) are on a floppy disk in drive a: If you have the Windows 95 interface, use the usual software installation procedure in the Control panel, or use "Run" on the Start Menu to run setup.exe. If you have the old style windows interface (eg with Windows 3.1 or NT 3.51), and are installing from drive a, then: Go to Windows Program Manager. Click on the "Run..." item on its "File" menu. In the command box type a:\setup Click on Ok or press Enter. Otherwise if you have put the MOZART installation files into a temporary directory, c:\tmp say, then do the same but with the command c:\tmp\setup. The setup program now installs MOZART for you. It asks a few questions including: where do you want MOZART installed? It suggests a directory. You may install it anywhere on your hard disk but it is best to be in a new directory. The setup program creates the directory for you if it doesn't exist. MOZART setup installs a number of utility DLL files which are commonly used by many programs. Depending on your system configuration, it puts these in your Common Program Files, Windows, or Windows System directory. If you already have a newer version of any of these files than the one supplied with MOZART, the installation will pause to ask you if you really want to install an older version. The correct answer is usually "No". (If you do want to install older versions, then exit from the setup program and back up your originals first - MOZART should work with newer versions; other applications may not work with older ones.) The common DLLs installed by MOZART setup are listed under the heading "Files installed" in the file README.TXT. MOZART SETUP also installs a number of sample tunes in a separate directory. These files have the extension .mz and the installation registers these as belonging to MOZART so that you can open them by clicking on them in the Windows 95 Explorer or the Windows NT Program Manager. A number of icons will appear in a collection on the Windows 95 Start Menu or a Program Manager Group entitled "Mozart" or "Mozart32". These include MOZART itself, an icon for direct access to the on-line help, and companion information file README.TXT. In the Evaluation Copy icons are installed to give you direct access to the order forms, which are in Windows WRITE format and readable also by WORDPAD and WORD. --------------------------- MOZART: FURTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- README.TXT: Other important information including how to register and uninstall MOZART is given in the file README.TXT which is installed with your MOZART files. This can be read after installation if you wish. README.TXT also has useful trouble-shooting information in case MOZART does not run satisfactorily first time after installation. ---------------- MOZART ENQUIRIES ---------------- Please direct any enquiries to: David Webber 484 Warrington Rd Culcheth Warrington WA3 5RA UK Internet: dave@musical.demon.co.uk http://www.musical.demon.co.uk CompuServe: 100042,3516
