from a wide variety of sources: authors, movie 
stars, philosophers, inventers... Each quote's
category is clearly labeled at the top of the
window. Some topics include: love, history, myths,
modesty, computers, civil rights and hundreds
more! Add eloquence to your conversations and impress
others with your ability to add a fitting quote to 
your speeches, toasts, and presentations with this 
collection of mankind's thoughs and feelings from 
the earliest times to the modern day. Click once on 
the part of the window showing the date of the quote 
to switch the program into random mode which will 
display quotes out of the normal order.

WinQuote does not work in the Large Fonts mode of 
Windows.If you are unable to see the entire quote on 
the main window please see the FAQ section of the help 
file for information on how to fix this.

When you register you will receive a full years worth 
of quotes.

RUNTIME FILES

The setup program which installs this software 
automatically checks for the needed files. If 
it gave you an error message about missing runtime 
files, then you will need to obtain them to run 
the program. If you are running Windows 95 then 
the setup program will ask you if you want to go 
to the Micromatt Web site to download them 
(Windows 95 only).

Run-time files are NOT included in this archive. 
See the Micromatt homepage at the URL below to 
download the required runtime files if you do not 
already have them. These files are also available 
from many other sites on the Internet such as: 

http://www.hotfiles.com/

The file set is called the Microsoft Visual Basic 
4.0 Runtime files. You must have the correct 
version of each set, which is 32 bit for Windows 
95, and 16 bit for Windows 3.1. If you get error 
messages about missing .DLL files or other missing 
files, you will need to get a copy of the Visual 
Basic runtimes.

To check if you already have the files, use the 
Windows 95 Find utility from the Start menu to 
search for the file: vb40032.dll . Or if youre a 
Windows 3.1 user, you can use the Search command 
in File Manager to locate the file: vb40016.dll . 
If your searching does not produce any results, 
you will need to obtain the Microsoft Visual Basic 
4.0 runtime files from a source such as the 
Internet, a BBS, a friend or coworker, or the 
Micromatt homepage. If you need help obtaining 
these files please contact Micromatt.
