Micro-Overhead is Shareware software. To receive a complete working version, you must register it. Please read the Winhelp file boot51.HLP for ordering information. Micro-Overhead 2.2 requires VBRUN200.DLL be in your execution path. Comments or questions to: Fred Freel, CIS 70642,673 Micro-Boot is only the "tip of the iceberg" in Micro-Overhead, but no functionality has been withheld from Micro-Boot. It is complete and ready to use in it's Shareware form. It has, however, become part of a package that we know you will find useful in your day-to-day computing. Installation for New Users of Micro-Boot. We suggest you create a new directory called OVERHEAD, and unzip the accompanying files into it. Using Notepad, open the OVERHEAD.INI file to confirm that the information included is the same as your system's configuration. the Boot Drive and location of your Windows Directory is important. We've used the most common, but you may have changed the name of your Windows directory, or may be running a "stacked" drive which boots from drive D:. Ignore the reference to the Launcher. It is inactive in the Shareware version of Micro-Overhead. From File Manager, drag OVERHEAD.EXE into a Group Window of your choice. This way, Windows 3.1 will automatically assign your Working Directory for you. From File Manager, drag DOS-5.PIF into your Windows directory. Double-click on the Overhead icon, and you are in business. Clicking the [?] button will load the WinHelp OHEAD-21.HLP file for access to operational documentation. Use CAUTION when using Micro-Boot. An inadvertent typo when configuring a new Level could well crash your system. Reading the operational documentation accessed with the [?] button prior to using Micro-Boot is highly recommended. Clicking the [boot] button will run Micro-Boot. Your FIRST priority is that you select the "Save Active" button to configure Level One to your current configuration, which we know is functional. Click on the [1] button when the selection panel appears. The Comparison Editor will load automatically, and you should load all four configuration files into the Editor and add identifying Labels to them. You can change these later when you are more familiar with Micro-Boot, but examples to insert as the first line of each are: Config.sys File . . . bootcfg.001 REM Level 1 Default Configuration Autoexec.bat File . . . bootexec.001 REM Level 1 Default Configuration System.ini File . . . sysini.001 ; Level 1 Default Configuration Win.ini File . . . winini.001 ; Level 1 Default Configuration These Identification Labels are used by Micro-Boot during reconfiguration, and they will also help you to keep the different files organized and recognizable using other viewers. At this point, the installation is complete. Installation for previous users of Micro-Boot or MB-Boot 2.x or 3.x: Copy your existing configuration files to a safe directory, if you plan to install Micro-Boot 5.1 in the same directory. We suggest, however, that you create a new directory called OVERHEAD, and unzip the accompanying files into it. Please see above concerning editing the OVERHEAD.INI file. Rev 5.1 supports only 10 Levels of configuration. If you have configurations numbered greater than .010 you should determine which are the most important and renumber them accordingly. Copy your existing .00n files into the new OVERHEAD directory AFTER installing our files. This will overwrite our examples, which are used primarily to set up the directory. From File Manager, drag DOS-5.PIF into your Windows directory. Finally, from File Manager, drag OVERHEAD.EXE into a Group Window of your choice. This way, Windows 3.1 will automatically assign your Working Directory for you. Double-click on the Overhead icon, and you are in business. Clicking the [?] button will load the WinHelp OHEAD-21.HLP file for access to operational documentation. We suggest that you select the "Save Active" button to the Level of your choice as your first priority in using Micro- Boot 5.1. If you already have a configuration that you've been using, this will not be necessary, but . . . Micro-Overhead rev 2.2 Shareware Distribution Files These Files should be included in your shareware directory.
