INFORMATION ABOUT THE LENDER'S TOOLBOX INSTALLATION (If using NotePad to view this file, maximize the window . Select File|Print for a hard copy of this file.) This program version requires Windows 95/98 (32-bit), 3.5MB of available hard disk space, and a minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM. (Note: A 16-bit version - v4.x - is also available for Windows 3.1x users as LTBWIN.ZIP.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The application requires the MSVBVM50.DLL (version 5.00.4319(SP2) or higher) and its related OLE files, which should be located your Windows\System subdirectory. Since most systems will already contain these files they are NOT included in this download version (resulting in a shorter download time). If this file (or the correct version) is NOT present on your system you can obtain all of these necessary 32-bit system files by pointing your Web browser to: ftp://members.aol.com/egcdnld1/vb5run.zip (AOL users can use AOL's "File Search" and download VB5RUN.ZIP.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The file SETUP.EXE is a 'self-installing' setup program which can be run from either your hard drive or copied to a floppy disk. (If you wish to run the Setup program from floppy disks copy the file Setup.Exe to Disk #1 and Setup.W02 to Disk #2 - place Disk #1 in your floppy drive to start the installation process.) From the Win95 desktop select Start | Run. At the 'Run' dialog box type the path to the Setup program (eg: 'A:\' or 'C:\TEMP\') followed by 'SETUP.EXE' and press Enter. After a short initialization period you will see a "Welcome" screen. (You can abort the installation at any time by selecting the 'CANCEL' command button.) The following program files can be placed in any directory you wish (but they must be kept together - the setup program will let you choose the target subdirectory for these files): LENDER.EXE The main program file LENDER.HLP The online Help & documentation file LENDER.CNT Associated help file contents LENDER.DOC Additional information about the program LENDER.INI The program initialization file REGISTER.EXE The registration form program The following system files will be copied to your \Windows\System subdirectory (if they are not already present): COMCTL32.OCX Custom control used by LENDER.EXE MSFLXGRD.OCX Custom control used by LENDER.EXE VSOCX32.OCX Custom control used by LENDER.EXE VSVIEW3.OCX Custom control used by LENDER.EXE RTREGW32.DLL Custom library used by LENDER.EXE MFC42.DLL Microsoft library used by LENDER.EXE MSVCRT.DLL Microsoft library used by LENDER.EXE In addition, a file named UNTOOLBX.EXE will be copied to your program subdirectory. This file gives you an easy method to 'uninstall' the program files, either automatically or by manual selection. (A file named INSTALL.LOG will be created in your program subdirectory ... do NOT erase this file since the uninstall program uses this to 'undo' the changes that were made during the installation process.) Note: If earlier versions of any of the files are already present on your computer they will be replaced by more recent versions. Later version files will NOT be replaced. (The setup program will 'back up' any files replaced during installation, unless you choose NOT to have backups made.) The setup program will automatically create a new Start menu group for the Lender's ToolBox ... you can accept the default group name, choose a new or existing group name, or tell the setup program NOT to install a Program Group/Program Icons. You are urged to view the Read Me file at completion of the installation - it contains additional information concerning the program. ******************************************************************* If you continue to use this program after a reasonable evaluation period you should obtain a licensed copy by completing the Registration Form (accessed from the main menu, the Help file, or the icon in your program group) and remitting the required fee. In this way the author (and other shareware authors) can continue to offer you quality software on a 'try before you buy' basis. ******************************************************************* Thank you for your support.
