Ashton 19395 Liberty Rd Boca Raton, FL 33434-2644 ************************************ ORDER_95.HLP This is your order form and should be used if you are registering Fastwin for Windows 3.11. You can also order for Fastwin for WFW 3.11 on this form also. Order form can be printed out using Windows Winhelp.exe program. 01. If you are in the File Manager and have access to the directory where you have downloaded Fastwin for WFW.311 V4.0 DX to, you can just double click on ORDER_95.HLP now! 02. To print out any of this form you would do the following: A. Click on File B. Click on Print Topic, that is it! Note: Just make sure you have turned on your Dot M, Desk jet, Ink ject, Bubble jet, or Laser printers 03. Just fill in the form! Note: The part about your screen name or internet name is only used for if I can't reach you by phone or to let you know of updates etc.. - To Install Fastwin for Windows 3.11 V4.0 DX - This compress file is a two part file process! ============================================== 01. (FW40DX.ZIP) -> This file is a ZIP This file contains SFX (EXE) and (TXT) this file you are reading! 02. (FW40S.EXE) -> This file is a EXE (SFX) Self extracting file! This file contains all the need files to run and use this program! ************************************************************************** I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE THE WINDOWS FILE MANAGER TO INSTALL THIS PROGRAM ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. ************************************************************************** 03. Open up the File Manager, then select the directory where you have downloaded this program too. *********************************************************************** Note: WAOL users who use the Download Manager which will automatically create a C:\WAOL15\FW40DX or C:\WAOL20\FW40DX for you. This is the directory where you would start from if you are a AOL member. *********************************************************************** 04. I guess by now you have decompressed FW40DX.ZIP and are reading FW40.TXT at this point! 05. Now Double Click on FW40S.EXE, and what for the file to decompress! Output Message: BLA, BLA, FWNA.EXE......... FWNB.EXE......... FWNC.EXE......... FWND.EXE......... FWNE.EXE......... FWNF.EXE......... FWNG.EXE......... FWNH.EXE......... ORDER_95.HLP.... etc.. Should you see a message saying Overwrite(Y / N)? Always Answer Y 06. If you should see a corrupted message, this means that the file you have just downloaded isn't functional and can't be used. Sometimes this happens, but it isn't your fault or the program. Until we all get the new fiber optic phone lines, we have to rely on the old copper ones, that can play some neat tricks on the phone lines when downloading and uploading files. Bad weather, like heavy rain storms, hurricane, earthquakes, floods are a no no to transmitting along the super highway phone lines. If you are running a TSR program under Dos or under Windows like a screen saver program can play tricks on the file transfer. You should turn them off! A. WAOL users can get back credit for the Download time, then retry to download this file again if you want too? B. BBS users can try to download again? 07. At this point you should remove FW40S.EXE from your Hard drive by deleting it. Highlight the file using the mouse pointer then press the key that reads [Delete] then hit [Enter]. Or click on File then on delete then click on ok. Either way works! 08. Now under the File Manager drag (COPY) one of the new fastwins to your C:\WINDOWS or any Windows Directory. Example: Try 1st my Fastest version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNA.EXE Example: Try 2nd my Faster version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNB.EXE Example: Try 3rd my Medium version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNC.EXE Example: Try 4th my Average version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWND.EXE Example: Try 5th my Fast version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNE.EXE Example: Try 6th my Medium version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNF.EXE Example: Try 7th my Average version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNG.EXE Example: Try 8th my Fair version of Fastwin for WINDOWS: FWNH.EXE NOTE: USE THEM ONE AT A TIME ONLY! ***************************************************************************** *ALSO NOTE: THE REGISTERED VERSION WILL GIVE YOU 4 MORE SPEEDS FOR AN ADDED* * SPEED KICK! * ************************** TOTAL 12 IN ALL! ********************************* * THIS IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE FASTWIN FOR WINDOWS ONLY NOT FOR WFW! * ***************************************************************************** 09. Click on [FILE] on the menu line, then on [EXIT] to end the File Manager. 10. Click on [FILE] on the menu line, then on [EXIT] to end the Progman Manager and leave Windows. 11. At the DOS prompt type in C:\> FWNA ,then press [ENTER] ****************************************************************** **** NOTE: YOU CAN USE ANY SWITCHES FROM THE PREVIOUS WIN.COM ** ****** FOR WINDOWS ONLY! NOT FOR WINDOWS FOR WORKGROUPS ***** ********************************************************** 12. You should now see my new FASTWIN FOR WINDOWS LOGO DISPLAY! 13. If you should see a MOUSE.DRV ERROR? Then FWNA.EXE is not installed in your C:\WINDOWS or any Windows directory. If not? Skip down to step: 15 A. What to locate the file and copy it back to your C:\WINDOWS directory. B. Type: WIN and then startup the File Manager. Click on [FILE], then on [SEARCH] C. Type in on Line 1: FWNA.EXE D.
