U S E A T Y O U R O W N R I S K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To run RESDUET+ you will need the VBRUN300.DLL Visual Basic runtime file (found on most BBS's) in your Windows or Windows/system directory (as long as this is in your path statement). Then add a new program item to one of your groups (File*New*OK, etc.) using the icon with RESDUET+. I don't know if this will run in Windows 3.0 but it should. The files included with RESDUET+ are: 1. resduet.exe - to be placed in any directory (you may want this in your start-up group also). 2. resduet.txt - this file 3. threed.vbx, dfinfo1.vbx, cmdialog.vbx, commdlg.dll, apiguide.dll, 3dlabel.vbx - to be placed in your Windows or Windows\system directory if you don't already have them. (Please make sure this is the most recent version). 4. resduet2.ini - will be created in your Windows directory (assuming Windows is on your "C" drive) if you change the restart/resource panel position and save the change or when you add your programs to the middle buttons. Once you have added your programs to the middle buttons, the icons/pictures will be saved to pict#.bmp files in same directory as the main file, resduet.exe (# being a number from 1 to 20) to coincide with the button selected. If you move these picture files, you must make the necessary path changes in the resduet2.ini file for the pictures only. 5. sndwavs.zip - this is the zipped file of all the sound files/voices for ResDuet+. This should be unzipped and the files placed in the same directory as the main file, resduet.exe, if you choose to use the sound option. You must have a sound card for this option to work. ======================================================================= RESTART/RESOURCE PANEL: I won't get into very many instructions here because they are included in the program but the important ones are; * To re-position the restart/resource panel, click on the "resources" (right) panel with the right mouse button and select Configure/ResDuet Position. * To read the restart/resource panel instructions, click on the "resources" panel with the right mouse button and select Instructions. * To open The File Machine, click on the "time" panel (left) with the left mouse button. To open only the middle buttons from The File Machine, click on the time panel with your right mouse button. * To check your available memory space and available disk space, click on the "resource" panel with your left mouse button. ####################################################################### THE FILE MACHINE: Most of this is self-explanatory and also includes instructions. The "buttons" in the center of The File Machine open whatever files/programs you add using the "Buttons" button on the bottom left. For instructions on the various buttons or areas, click your right mouse button over those areas or the left mouse button on the "?" button.
