The Virtual Hymnal was developed for use in the Windows 32-bit operating 
environment (i.e. Windows95).

It will operate under standard Windows or Windows for Workgroups systems, 
but in order to do so, the Microsoft 32-bit extensions (win32s) *must* 
be installed in the Windows operating system, and it must be version 
1.30.172.0 or greater.

The win32s extensions are available for downloading from Microsoft at no 
charge (see WIN32S AVAILABILITY AND SUPPORT below). Please be aware that 
the developers and publishers of the Virtual Hymnal product cannot provide 
technical support regarding the acquisition, installation, or operation 
of the win32s product.


BASIC INFORMATION REGARDING WIN32S:
-----------------------------------
Win32s is a set of DLLs and a virtual device driver (VxD) that allows 
Win32-based applications to run on top of Windows or Windows for 
Workgroups. If you receive the following error message when you run or 
install a Win32-based application

   This program cannot be run in DOS mode

Win32s is either not installed or not installed properly.

You can use Freecell to test your installation of Win32s.


WIN32S AVAILABILITY AND SUPPORT:
--------------------------------
Win32s is available from many sources. Microsoft Personal Operating 
System Support Engineers support the installation of Win32s when it is 
obtained from any of the following sources:

TO DETERMINE THE VERSION NUMBER OF AN EXISTING WIN32S INSTALLATION:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Use one of the following two methods to determine interactively which 
version of Win32s is installed:

1.Check the WIN32S.INI file in your Windows system directory. The 
Version entry contains the major version and the build number 
(m.mm.bbb.b). This entry should be modified by any Win32-based 
application which installs a later version of Win32s on your Windows 
machine.

NOTE: Because it is up to the application vendor to set this value when 
installing Win32s, the value may not be accurate. Microsoft strongly 
urges all independent software vendors (ISVs) to modify the WIN32S.INI 
file so that this information is available to customers.

-or-

2.If Win32s is installed on top of Windows for Workgroups, select the 
WIN32S16.DLL file from the Windows system directory in File Manager. 
Then from the File menu, choose Properties. The Version line contains 
the major version and the build number.


TO REMOVE AN EXISTING VERSION OF WIN32S:
----------------------------------------
1.Remove the following line from the [386Enh] section in the SYSTEM.INI 
file:

           device=<WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\win32s\w32s.386

where <WINDOWS> and <SYSTEM> are where the Windows and System 
directories are, respectively.

2.Modify the following line from the [BOOT] section in the SYSTEM.INI 
file:

           drivers=mmsystem.dll winmm16.dll

to the following (remove winmm16.dll):

           drivers=mmsystem.dll

3.Delete the following files from the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM> subdirectory or 
from the SYSTEM directory in network installations:

           WINMM16.DLL
           W32SYS.DLL
           WIN32S16.DLL
           WIN32S.INI
           WINHLP32.EXE
           WINDOWS.HLP
           WINHLP32.HLP
           WINHLP32.CNT

Note: It may not be possible to delete W32SYS.DLL while Windows is 
running. This occurs if you ran some Win32 application. It is 
recommended that you remove Win32s while in MS-DOS, not from an MS-DOS 
box.

4.Delete all the files in the <WINDOWS>\<SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory or 
the <SYSTEM>\WIN32S subdirectory in network installations. Then delete 
subdirectory itself.

5.Restart Windows.

NOTE: <WINDOWS> refers to the windows installation directory. On a 
networked Windows installation, the system directory may be located on a 
remote share. If you are only removing Win32s from your machine, then 
you do not need to remove the shared files (in <SYSTEM> and 
<SYSTEM>\WIN32S). Before removing these files from the network share, 
make sure that all users that use Win32s have removed the references to 
Win32s from the SYSTEM.INI file.
