InfoBar v2.10 Copyright(C) 1994 by Jan S. Smith InfoBar requires WINDOWS 3.1 and VBRUN300.DLL. InfoBar, v2.10, is intended to replace all previous versions. All data files created with the previous versions are fully compatable with version 2.10. Note to users of previous versions: If you are using version 1.1 or 2.01 you may not want to delete the old 'InfoBar.ini' file. Instead, use a text editer, such as Windows Notepad, to copy the new v2.01 or v2.10 settings to the end of the your current 'InfoBar.ini' file. All settings that are new to v2.01 are below a remark line that says: " the following lines are v2.01 " and lines new to v2.10 are below a remark line that says " Version 2.10 ". There is also a new remark under 'ScreenPosition' and under 'SmallBarPosition' but they are not necessary. This way you will not lose your current settings (mainly your Quick Launch settings). For v2.10 also scroll up or down in the new 'infobar.ini' file until you come to a line that says " QLTitle07=User Defined " and highlight that line and all the lines down to " QLFile12=No File ". Copy these lines and then paste them into your current 'infobar.ini' file below the line that says " QLTitle06= ". Now save your current 'infobar.ini' file and close Notepad. Note: VBX files new to v2.x are CSINVIS.VBX, MSCOMM.VBX and QPSCROLL.VBX. The GRID.VBX file with a date of 6-15-93 or newer is required for v1.1 and v2.x. Note: Features new or changed in v2.10 are listed toward the end of the INFOBAR.WRI document, in Section K. InfoBar v2.10 includes the following files: 1. INFOBAR.EXE 9. QPLIST.VBX 2. INFOBAR.INI 10. QPRO200.DLL 3. CSCMD.VBX 11. QPSCROLL.VBX 4. CSINVIS.VBX 12. THREED.VBX 5. CSPICTUR.VBX 13. INFOBAR.WRI 6. GRID.VBX 14. README.TXT 7. MSCOMM.VBX 15. SSERIFE.FON 8. MSMASKED.VBX Additional files required are: 1. TOOLHELP.DLL 2. SHELL.DLL 3. VBRUN300.DLL Note: TOOLHELP.DLL and SHELL.DLL should be in your windows\system directory (they are Windows 3.1 files). VBRUN300.DLL can be obtained from CompuServe or America Online and should also be in your windows\system directory. To run InfoBar: Note: Since INFOBAR.EXE creates a bunch of files as it is used, I recommend that it be placed in its own directory (such as c:\infobar). After unzipping the files . . . 1. Copy or move INFOBAR.EXE to any directory you choose. 2. Copy or move INFOBAR.INI to your windows directory. (see the note at the start of this document) 3. If you do not have the MS Sans Serif Font installed on your system, copy or move SSERIFE.FON to your windows\system directory and use the Windows Control Panel to add it. 4. Copy or move CSCMD.VBX, CSINVIS.VBX, CSPICTUR.VBX, GRID.VBX, MSCOMM.VBX, MSMASKED.VBX, QPLIST.VBX, QPRO200.DLL, QPSCROLL.VBX and THREED.VBX to your windows\system directory. 5. Check to make sure TOOLHELP.DLL, SHELL.DLL and VBRUN300.DLL are in your windows\system directory. Run INFOBAR.EXE as you would any other application, e.g. by double-clicking from file manager, using the Run option in the Program Manager menu, by creating a Program Manager icon, etc. License / Warranty Disclaimer InfoBar, v2.10, is shareware.
