INSTALLING NEW MENUS FOR WINDOWS 1.4

Update notices see below


Copy the file NMFW14xe.EXE to a new directory (e.g. c:\nmfw) 
and extract the file simply by executing the archive. After 
doing that, you can remove the file NMFW14xe.EXE from your 
hard disk.

You can drag the RRKMENU.EXE from the File-Manager to a 
Group-Window in the Program-Manager.

The file RRKMENU.EXE is the program.
Before you start NMfW for the first time, close all programs 
using the Program-Manager. Otherwise NMfW may not be 
installed properly.
When you start the New Menus for Windows 1.4 for the first 
time, the program will copy some files into to the Windows-
system directory (e.g. c:\windows\system). It will copy the 
files RRKMNDLL.DLL, BWCC.DLL and BWCC009.DLL into this 
directory. 
After that, New Menus for Windows 1.4 will extract the 
information of the installed programs from the Program-
Manager and write it in a new file, PROGMAN.MNU, in the 
directory where you installed New Menus for Windows 1.4.
The program RRKMENU.EXE installs itself.
The following actions are performed during the first 
execution:
   It copies the file RRKMNDLL.DLL into your \windows\system 
directory. If there is an older version of this file in the 
directory, the old version will be overwritten. If you want 
to uninstall NMfW you can delete this file.
   It copies the files BWCC.DLL and BWCC009.DLL into your 
\windows\system directory. If there are older versions in 
this directory or in the \windows directory these files will 
be overwritten. I do not recommend deleting these files if 
you want to uninstall NMfW, because other programs may need 
these files.
    A new entry in your WIN.INI will be written:
[BWCC]
BitmapLibrary=bwcc0009.dll
This is to tell the file BWCC.DLL to use the bitmaps for the 
buttons OK, CANCEL etc., from this lib. If you have another 
BWCCxxx.DLL, which supports your national language, you may 
have to change this.
    All Program-Manager groups are converted into the 
internal MNU format. This may take a little bit of time.
    The Program-Manager group Startup (or Autostart) will be 
converted into submenus.

Important: The files RRKMNDLL.DLL and BWCC*.DLL must be in 
the Windows system directory. Otherwise you can not run the 
Menu as the windows shell.
If the installation routine failed, you may copy these files 
manually into your Windows system directory.

After starting the program, push the right mouse button!!
I have pre-configured the menu. You probably have a drive 
"c:\". Otherwise, you have to change the corresponding menu 
item. See in the help file RRKMENG.HLP for more hints.

UPDATE FROM V1.2 TO V1.4
First, make a backup from your old RRKMENU.INI. Then install 
the new package from scratch in a new, empty directory. This 
is important, because NMfW must copy the new DLL's into the 
\windows\system directory. Than you can transfer your old 
Submenus into the new RRKMENU.INI or better yet, in an 
external menu file (with the file extension MNU). You can do 
this using notepad as an editor and then copy or paste the 
submenu sections into the new RRKMENU.INI. Another way is by 
using the visual editor which can be accessed from the menu 
item Configuration. I do not recommend that you use your old 
RRKMENU.INI, because there are some new items in the sections 
[General Properties], [WinClasses], [ShortCuts], 
[ProgrammHooks], [MenuFont] and [MenuTitleFont].
If you use the right mousebutton to pop up the menu, you must 
define the following line in the section [WinClasses] of your 
RRKMENU.INI.
VScreen=Excluded
Otherwise you can't switch to another virtual screen with the 
right mousebutton.
