When WinClavier is installed, its effect propagates throughout the entire system and all Windows programs like Cardfile, Write, Microsoft Word for Windows, etc... HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS WinClavier does not require any special hardware besides the hardware required to run Windows. To run WinClavier, you need Windows version 3.0 or above. WinClavier will require approximately 28k of RAM to run, but some of this memory can be released to the system if it requires it. INSTALLING WINCLAVIER WinClavier comes in two files: WINCLAV.EXE and WCLLIB.DLL. Both have to be in the current directory or in the path. You run it once and it is installed. For instructions on how to run it, see your windows manual. The windows manual shows you how to install WINCLAV as a member of a program group in the PROGRAM MANAGER. You may find it handy to have it installed automaticcaly when Windows loads. To do this, you have to edit you win.ini file, and add "winclav.exe" at the end of the line labelled "load=". You will then see the WinClavier Icon on the bottom of your screen. USING WINCLAVIER The first time you load WinClavier, you will see the '�' in the Icon. The presence of the accent indicates the WinClavier is active and your regular keys are remapped to the french-specific keys. At anytime you can remap your original keys by clicking on the icon. Then you choose the option "Turn keyboard OFF". If WinClavier is presently active this option will read "Turn keyboard ON". A faster alternative to that is by holding the Ctrl key while pressing the 'k' (Ctrl+k). This is a hotkey toggle, so that if you press it a second time the french keyboard will be activated again. You can save the current state of WinClavier by clicking on the Icon and chosing the item labeled "Save current state as default". This controls the initial state on startup (or when Windows is loaded). The default HotKey toggle for Winclav is Ctrl+K. If you wish to change the HotKey, you can select the 'Change Hotkey' options from Winclav's menu. A dialog box will pop up showing you the current hotkey and it will prompt you for a new one. If you wish this hotkey to become the default for you subsequent windows sessions press the 'SAVE' button. If you wish to use your new hotkey for this session only, press the 'OK' button. If you wish to cancel the operation, press the 'Cancel' button. For users who do not wish to see the WINCLAV icon at the bottom of the screen, you can select 'Hide Icon' from winclav's menu. Once this has been done the only way to get the Icon back (so you can close the program) is to run WINCLAV the same way you did to initially load it. This does not run another copy of WINCLAV, it merely makes the hidden window visible again. Hiding the WINCLAV icon will also remove it from the ALT-TAB window change cycle and it will not appear on TASK MANAGER's list box. Selecting the 'Set Initial Defaults' from the WINCLAV menu will allow you to configure how WINCLAV is setup each time it is loaded. A dialog box will pop up when this item is selected allowing you to define whether or not keyboard translation should be active and if the WINCLAV icon should be shown when the program is first activated. The HELP option gives you the mapping of the french keys so that you don't have to try them out to find the character you are looking for like we have to do for DOS-based keyboard programs. Please note that WinClavier will not work for DOS programs even if they run under Windows. The reason is that Windows and Windows applications are constantly communicating between themselves, while DOS programs are totally isolated from each other and from Windows. Because Windows has to run DOS programs in a DOS Virtual Machine, and DOS programs do not send messages the same way Windows programs do,WinClavier is totally isolated from your DOS programs by Windows.
