BREWSTER KALEIDOSCOPIC SCREENSAVER V3.0a - INSTALLATION

***For manual installation, see below***

To install Brewster, just run the program Setup.exe.  This
will prompt you for a directory to store pattern banks,
and a program group to place the uninstaller. 

Now open the Display device on your Control Panel, go to the
Screensaver tab, and select Brewster.  Click on 'Settings'
to configure it, or 'Preview' to see a full-screen view.

You can safely install Brewster on top of a previous
version of the program.  It will not erase any patterns
you have saved.  

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

Uninstallation: You can run the uninstaller at any time to
remove Brewster from your system.  

Note: if you install on top of a previous version, there 
are two minor snags which may occur.  First, if the
previous version was not placed in your Windows directory,
you may have to copy the file BREWSTER.DAT from its
previous location, overwriting the one that the installer
places in Windows.  Secondly, uninstallation may not be
complete, because previous versions did not have an
automatic installer, and you may have to remove some
files manually.  Sorry about that - it should not happen
in the future, if you install new versions on top of V3.

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

***Manual Installation*** 

To install Brewster, just copy the three files BREWSTER.SCR,
BREWSTER.DAT, and BREWSTER.HLP into your Windows directory.
Now make a directory for pattern files and copy them into
it (the current version contains four, named STANDARD.PAT,
EXTRA-1.PAT, EXTRA-2.PAT, and MIRROR-1.PAT. Any other files 
such as FILE_ID.DIZ or this text file are unnecessary and
can be discarded.  (Install/Uninstall instructions are
repeated in the main Windows help file.)

Now open the Display device on your Control Panel, go to the
Screensaver tab, and select Brewster.  Click on 'Settings'
to configure it, or 'Preview' to see a full-screen view.

If you are upgrading from an older version of Brewster, do 
the same as above, except do not copy BREWSTER.DAT.

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

Technical Note:

Screensavers have to be in the Windows or System directory
to be recognised by the Windows Display device.  If you
want, you can test the program in any directory by right-
clicking on the BREWSTER.SCR file, and selecting 'Test' or
'Configure'.  But although you can also select 'Install'
from this menu to run the Display device, you cannot
actually install the program if it is not in the Windows
or the System directory. Microsoft's bug, not mine!  

If you put the program in your System directory, when you
save data it will create a copy of BREWSTER.DAT in the
Windows directory.  This is because in networked systems,
programs cannot write to the System directory.  If you run
it from its own directory, it will save the data in that
directory rather than in Windows. 

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

To un-install the program, just delete the files you copied.
If you have used the Help file, there will also be a file
BREWSTER.GID to delete. Brewster does not normally write any
other files - any patterns you save are stored in the
BREWSTER.DAT file.  

With version 2.0+, you have the option to save extra pattern
banks (*.PAT files).  It is up to you to delete any of these
which you have created.
