You should find it on the nearest BBS. Put it in the same directory as files listed above (the unpacked archive). If there is already vbrun200.dll in your windows directory, you don't need (another) one. Run setup.exe from Windows and choose setup. Setup will copy files marked with * to selected directory and (unless one is already there) VBRUN200.DLL to windows directory. It will also create WMM group in Program Manager. Then run WMM and set options in Options|General and Options|Replies, BEFORE doing anything else. Survival Guide topic of help will help you with your first steps, as well as WELCOME.WMM message base. *** UPGRADE *** =====*****=====*****=====*****=====*****===== Run setup.exe from Windows and choose upgrade. When asked for the directory name, write the existing WMM directory. Setup will copy files that need to be replaced to that directory. It will also create WMM group in Program Manager. WMM.INI file will not be deleted. *** NOTICE *** If you are upgrading from any EARLIER version that WMM 1.3, you HAVE TO go to Options|General and Options|Replies menus and press OK button in both windows, because some changes have to be made!! For each message base, you HAVE TO go to the Options|BBS Specific and re-set the way you want WMM to put fidonet addresses, because the versions from (including) 1.3 on do not recognize the settings from versions 1.2 or earlier !!! If you wish, you can set Options|Sound. *** THE END *** =====*****=====*****=====*****=====*****===== My fidonet and internet address are written in Help|About. If you have any questions or problems, you can contact me. You'll find all details about registration in help file. (When help is displayed, click register button) Enjoy! Jaka Gubensek
