WHAT IS FLYWHEEL?

  The Microsoft IntelliMouse is a fantastic device, and using 
  the wheel quickly becomes second nature.  Unfortunately, very
  few applications provide native support for the IntelliMouse.
  This quickly results in frustration as you instinctively use
  the wheel, but it doesn't do anything.

  Flywheel solves this problem by allowing the wheel to be 
  used for basic scrolling in all applications, including 
  those that don't have native support for the IntelliMouse!
  Flywheel also includes support for two totally new wheel 
  features -- Window Cycling and Alternate Scrolling Mode.

  Flywheel sells for only $10 and can be registered online using 
  our secure web server.


USING & CONFIGURING FLYWHEEL

  Using Flywheel for scrolling is simple -- when you want to
  scroll, reach for the wheel!

  Window Cycling - Pressing Control+Shift and rotating your wheel
  will cycle through the open document windows in applications that
  support the MDI Next / Previous Window commands.  This includes
  the majority of applications that have a "Window" menu item.

  Alternate Scrolling Mode - Pressing Control+Alt and rotating
  your wheel will do the opposite of the currently defined
  scrolling mode.  The default scrolling mode is line-at-a-time,
  in which case this feature allows you to instantly do
  page-at-a-time scrolling when needed.

  For Flywheel configuration options, please see the Flywheel
  tab in the Mouse property sheet in Control Panel.


INSTALLATION NOTES

  To setup Flywheel, simply run FLYW101.EXE.  If you received Flywheel
  in a ZIP file, unzip to a directory of your choice and then run
  SETUPFW.EXE.

  By default, Flywheel will be installed to the following subdirectory:

     C:\Program Files\Plannet Crafters\Flywheel


SUPPORT ISSUES

  We stand behind Flywheel and want to ensure that you enjoy it.

  here, please send us an e-mail at support@plannetarium.com.

KNOWN ANOMOLIES

  Flywheel works seamlessly with the vast majority of current 
  applications.  However, there are a few issues that you
  should be aware of.  We encourage you to report any other
  problems you experience.

  Netmanage Ecco 4.0 & Microsoft Excel 97 - If you use a 
  horizontal splitter window to divide the main window into 
  two sections, Flywheel will always scroll the top window.

  Microsoft Outlook 97 with WordMail enabled - When using WordMail,
  Flywheel's Alternate Scrolling Mode will not do anything.

  Corel WordPerfect - This application scrolls more than one line for
  each single scroll.  This isn't a "bug" but it may appear that each
  wheel click scrolls too far.  A future update to Flywheel will include
  an option to specify the lines-to-scroll on a per-application basis.

  Some NT Applications might scroll twice as many lines as they should
  when Flywheel is running.  This will be fixed in an update to Flywheel.
  In the meantime, please see the next section on excluding apps from 
  Flywheel.

  Microsoft Internet Explorer V4.0 Platform Preview - This version of
  Flywheel works with IE4!  However, if you install a later version of
  IE4 and experience any unusual behavior with the wheel, you can easily
  disable Flywheel support for IE4.  To do so, set the following
  registry key to a value of zero (0):

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Plannet Crafters\Flywheel\IE4Support

  Finally, be sure to check out our web site (www.plannetarium.com)
  for support bulletings and updates to Flywheel!!!


HOW TO EXCLUDE APPLICATIONS FROM FLYWHEEL

  If you wish to exclude a given application from interacting with
  Flywheel, you can add a key to the registry.  Please do NOT do
  this unless you are familiar with modifying registry entries.  A
  future update to Flywheel will have the ability to exclude 
  applications from the Mouse property pages.

  To exclude an application, create the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Plannet Crafters\Flywheel\Exclude\MODNAME

  where MODNAME is the name of the executable file that is responsible
  for creating the application's windows.  The MODNAME should not have
  any extensions (.EXE, .DLL, etc.).  


HOW TO UNINSTALL FLYWHEEL

  If you wish to uninstall Flywheel, use the Add / Remove Programs
  property sheet in Control Panel.  Select 
  "Plannet Crafters Flywheel (remove only)" and then click the
  Add/Remove button.
