Thank you for trying DLL Master.  We hope you will find it a
useful Windows tool.

DLL Master lists all modules currently loaded in Windows' 
memory, and allows you to load, unload, or decrement the use 
count of DLLs--at your own risk, of course.  Module path, 
datetime, filesize and internal version info are shown; 
multiple lists are kept, lists can be compared, printed, 
saved to and restored from disk. Specific DLLs can also be 
loaded at Windows' startup. It requires Windows 3.1.

DLL Master is a shareware program written in Visual Basic, 
and as such requires the VB 3.0 runtime module VBRUN300.DLL 
as well as certain other modules in order to run. Since these 
files take up a lot of space and increase download time, DLL
Master is distributed in two shareware versions. DLLMSTR1.ZIP
contains the minimum number of files, and is intended for
those who already have Visual Basic installed. DLLMSTR2.ZIP 
contains all necessary files except VBRUN300.DLL. VBRUN300.DLL
is available on many bulletin boards including Compuserve. If 
you can't get hold of it send us $3.00 for shipping/handling 
and we'll send it to you.

The registered version of DLL Master contains all the necessary
files, since it is normally provided on disk by mail.


TO INSTALL DLL MASTER FROM DLLMSTR1.ZIP:

1) Create a directory for DLL Master on your hard disk. For 
   example:
        
        md c:\dllmstr

2) Using PKUNZIP, unzip DLLMSTR1.ZIP into the new directory. 
   For example:

        pkunzip a:dllmstr1 c:\dllmstr

3) Copy DLLMSTRD.DLL to the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, then
   delete it from the DLL Master directory.

4) Using the Program Manager File/New menu, create a program item 
   for DLL Master in the program group of your choice.


TO INSTALL DLL MASTER FROM DLLMSTR.ZIP OR DLLMSTR2.ZIP:

1) Create a temporary directory on your hard disk. For example:
        
        md c:\dllmtemp

2) Using PKUNZIP, unzip DLLMSTR.ZIP or DLLMSTR2.ZIP into the new 
   directory. For example:

        pkunzip a:dllmstr2 c:\dllmtemp

3) Go into Windows, select the File/Run menu, and run SETUP:

        c:\dllmtemp\setup.exe

   Setup will properly install DLL Master as a Windows application,
   into the directory of your choice. After this has been done you 
   may delete the temporary directory and its contents.


WHAT TO DO IF SETUP CANNOT INSTALL A FILE:

Sometimes the SETUP program cannot install a newer version of a DLL 
or other module because an existing version of the module is in use 
and Windows will not allow it to be overlaid. In this case, you will 
want to install the module manually. Here are the steps to do this:

1) Exit from Windows.

2) Use the EXPAND utility to decompress the file from the temporary
   directory. The compressed version of the file has an underscore 
   as the last character of the extension. For example, THREED.VBX 
   will appear as THREED.VB_. (In fact, THREED.VBX may very well 
   be in use when you run install DLL Master.) In this example, you
   would expand the file by running the following command from the 
   DOS prompt:

        expand c:\dlltemp\threed.vb_ \windows\system\threed.vbx

   The various file extensions are transformed as follows: any VB_ 
   extension becomes VBX, DL_ becomes DLL, EX_ becomes EXE, etc.
   
   EXPAND.EXE should exist on your system in both the \WINDOWS and
   \DOS directories.
   
3) Verify that the new version was indeed expanded and copied, and
   then restart Windows.


Please contact us if you have any questions, problems or
suggestions for improvements to DLL Master. We also strongly
encourage you to register your copy if you find yourself
continuing to use DLL Master (please read the Registration
topic in the Help file or LICENSE.TXT).


KNOWN ISSUES AND INCOMPATIBILITIES:

An incompatible version of THREED.VBX is apparently included with
certain versions of printer software accompanying laser printers
from a very excellent company which shall remain nameless. If, when
the mouse pointer rests on one of the toolbar icons for over half
a second, a yellow 'tool tip' or help balloon does not pop up just
beneath the pointer, then you probably have this version running on
your machine.  You can download the most current correct version of
THREED.VBX from Compuserve ('GO SHERIDAN'). Or get DLLMSTR2.ZIP,
which contains a good version.

If you display version information for CPQHQV08.EXE version 3.10.00  
(this is a Compaq QVision display driver), the Language combo will
list 8 languages.  However, no matter which one you select, the 
string file information still displays in English. This is not a
DLL Master bug. The version resource inside CPQHQV08.EXE actually
contains a subsection for each of the languages--all identical, all
in English.
