                             -------------------
                    

       Hello and welcome  to  the  WinPak#2  software package from Rhode
       Island Soft Systems, Inc.!  
   
       This package contains four unique, custom designed  screen  saver
       modules, two TrueType fonts, and over 100 icons, all for use with
       Windows  3.1.   This  package  contains an automated installation
       utility that should be used  to install the screen saver modules.
       It should be noted that registered users of WinPak#2 receive  the
       full  "Deluxe"  version  of WinPak#2 which contains everything in
       this shareware version PLUS 2 more screen savers, 2 more TrueType
       fonts, and over 100 more icons!
       
       Most of the files in  this  package  are compressed using the DOS
       "COMPRESS" and "EXPAND" utilities.  The compressed files end with
       an   underscore   on   the   distribution   diskette,   such   as
       "WINPAK2A.SC_".   The  installation  program  will  automatically
       uncompress these files.
       
       This package must be installed in  the  main  Windows  directory,
       such  as  "C:\WINDOWS",  or  whatever  that  directory is on your
       particular computer.  The installation  program will ask for this
       directory upon start-up.  The documentation and  other  ancillary
       files  will be placed in a sub-directory called "WINPAK#2", below
       the main Windows directory.  If  you specify "C:\WINDOWS" as your
       Windows directory, then the documentation files will be copied to
       "C:\WINDOWS\WINPAK#2" for example.

       The  following  information will guide you through installing the
       WINPAK#2 files.  Once installed, the  SETUP program will create a
       program group and install  icons  for  the  documentation  files,
       which you can read by clicking on the document's icon.

                             ---------------------
                             
       At this point, please look  for  all  of the files that belong to
       the WinPak#2 package.  All of the files are listed  in  the  file
       PACKING.TXT If the PACKING.TXT file or any of the files listed in
       PACKING.TXT  are  missing, please contact us for an official copy
       of WinPak#2 -- it would not  be  fair to either the user or Rhode
       Island Soft Systems, Inc.  to have a user evaluate an  incomplete
       package.

                              INSTALLING WINPAK#2
                              -------------------
                               
       WinPak#2  is shipped with a comprehensive installation program to
       automate traditional installation.  To install WinPak#2, you must
       be in the Windows environment.   To  install WinPak#2 we will use
       the SETUP program supplied as part of the package.
       
       From Program Manager's main window,  select  "File".   This  will
       cause  a menu to drop down.  Next, select "Run...".  A dialog box
       will pop up requesting a "Command Line".
       
       If the WinPak#2 files are  on  a floppy disk, insert the diskette
       into  the  A:  or  B:  drive,  as  appropriate  and  type  either
       "A:\SETUP" or "B:\SETUP",  respectively.   We  must  execute  the
       "SETUP" program that is located on the floppy disk.
       
       If  the  WinPak#2 files are in a directory on a hard drive, enter
       the full drive and directory path to where the WinPak#2 files are
       located, such as: "C:\DOWNLOAD\TEMP\SETUP".
       
       Please note that these are just examples -- the directories names
       and  drives  will  certainly  be  different  for  each individual
       computer.  The above examples are for illustrative purposes only.

       After entering the command to execute SETUP, press the ENTER  key
       or click on the "OK" button.

       At this point SETUP will handle the entire process of installing
       the WinPak#2 files.  
       
       To activate the screen savers, we must first  select  the  "Main"
       group in Program Manager.  Next, select the "Control Panel" icon.
       Finally,  within  Control  Panel, select the "Desktop" icon.  The
       "Screen Saver" portion of  the  dialog  box  will now contain the
       WinPak#2 modules in  the  list  of  Screen  Saver  "Names".   The
       WinPak#2  modules  can  be  easily identified as they are labeled
       with "WP2=>".

       To  install  the TrueType fonts, enter the Control Panel from the
       Main Program Manager Group.   Select  the "Fonts" icon in Control
       Panel.  Next, select "Add" to add  the  fonts  in  this  package.
       Choose  "Select  All"  and then click on the "OK" button.  That's
       all there is to do -- the fonts are now installed!

       To use the icons, simply specify the file "WP2ICON1.DLL" any time
       you  want  to  specify an icon, and select any of the icons  that
       are presented.

       The icons  in  the  WP2ICON1.DLL  file  are  included courtesy of
       Software Co-Op and are part of a larger  package  of  1700  icons
       published  by Villa Crespo Software.  Look for LexIcon in a store
       near you!
