Installation of WinDatCon Version 2.0

WinDatCon version 2.0 requires Windows 3.0 or greater, 
an EGA or VGA monitor, and 775 KB available disk space. 
An additional 399 KB disk space is required for the 
VBRUN300.DLL file.

WinDatCon and the WinDatCon Setup program require the 
VBRUN300.DLL file to be present in your windows\system 
or windows directory.  This file is included with 
registered copies of WinDatCon.

The most current version of the VBRUN300.DLL file can 
be downloaded from Compuserve: 
       1.  GO MSUSER
       2.  Select Microsoft End-User Support Forum.  
       3.  Select Microsoft Software Library. 
       4.  Select Search Criteria.
       5.  Search for VBRUN300.EXE.
       6.  Download the VBRUN300.EXE file.
       7.  At the DOS prompt change to the directory 
           containing the VBRUN300.EXE and type  
           VBRUN300 to decompress the file (this will
           create a VBRUN300.DLL file).
       8.  Copy the VBRUN300.DLL file to one of the 
           directories listed above.

To install WinDatCon:

    windows or windows\system directory:
       i. Place the WinDatCon disk containing this file
          in your A: or B: drive. (To determine which 
          disk contains the VBRUN300.DLL file check the
          disk label.)
      ii. Type A: (or B:) and hit enter.
     iii. Type copy VBRUN300.DLL c:\windows\system
          and hit enter.

 9.  A dialog box will appear indicating that the 
    installation is complete.  Press the <Enter> key or 
    click the OK button and this box will disappear.

10. The setup program creates a WinDatCon Group that will
    be displayed in the Program Manager.  This Group
    contains the WinDatCon icon for launching the program
    and several .TXT file icons.  The following 
    manipulations are optional:
       i.  Read the .TXT files by double clicking 
           the corresponding icon.  This will open the 
           Windows Notepad application with the selected 
           file displayed.  The file can be read or printed.  
           The remaining files can be opened in the Notepad, 
           or you can return to the WinDatCon Group and 
           select them by double clicking an icon.
      ii.  Drag the WinDatCon icon and/or the .TXT file 
           icons to a more convenient location on the 
           Progam Manager.
     iii.  The WinDatCon Group window can be minimized by
           clicking the down arrow in the upper right corner
           of this window.  The minimized icon can be
           positioned on the Program Manager.
      iv.  The WinDatCon group can be deleted if the
           WinDatCon icon is moved to a new location in the
           Program Manager and the text file icons are moved 
           or deleted.
     iiv.  Once the positions for the WinDatCon Group and icons
           have been selected, the Program Manager configuration
           can be saved by holding down the Shift key while
           selecting the Exit option (Windows 3.1).
