  Installing ArrowSmith

ArrowSmith consists of just three files:

ASMITH.EXE	The ArrowSmith executable.

ASMITH.HLP	This help file.

README.TXT	Getting started information.

To install ArrowSmith, simply copy ASMITH.EXE and ASMITH.HLP to any subdirectory on your path. If you don't have a preference, copy them to your WINDOWS subdirectory, which is usually C:\WINDOWS.

Next, install ArrowSmith on Program Manager by dragging its executable file, ASMITH.EXE, from File Manager to your Main group on Program Manager, or by choosing File, New, Program Item from Program Manager's menu and typing ArrowSmith in the description box and ASMITH.EXE in the Command Line box.

That's it. Now you're ready to run ArrowSmith.

UNINSTALLING ARROWSMITH

The entire ArrowSmith installation consists of just two files and two entries to your WIN.INI file. To remove ArrowSmith from your system delete the following two files:

ASMITH.EXE

ASMITH.HLP

Next, remove ASMITH.EXE from the load= line in your WIN.INI file.

Last, remove the ArrowSmith section from the end of your WIN.INI file. You'll see an entry something like this:

[ArrowSmith]

Arrow=n

Wait=n


  Running ArrowSmith

When you run ArrowSmith, you'll see a main window with two boxes full of pointers and a group of buttons. Here are some of the things you can do with ArrowSmith and how to do them:

Select a New Mouse Arrow. To select a new mouse arrow, double click on the symbol in the Arrows box or select the symbol with the keyboard or mouse and press the Test Drive Pointer button. Your mouse arrow will immediately change to the one you've selected.

Select a New Wait Symbol. To select a new wait symbol, double click on the symbol in the Wait Symbols box or select the symbol with the keyboard or mouse and press the Test Drive Pointer button. You'll move into Wait Symbol Test Mode. In this mode your pointer changes to the wait symbol you've selected, so you can move it around the screen to see how it looks. To exit this mode, press the right mouse button.

Load a New Mouse Arrow or Wait Symbol Automatically. To have a mouse arrow or wait symbol loaded automatically each time Windows runs, select the pointer or wait symbol and press the Load Automatically button. This option places or updates the following lines in your WIN.INI file:

load=ASMITH.EXE

and, at the bottom of your WIN.INI file:

[ArrowSmith]

Arrow=n

Wait=n

(where n is a number representing the arrow or wait symbol you've selected.)

Exit ArrowSmith and Restore Your Original Arrows. To exit ArrowSmith and restore the mouse arrow and wait symbols you had before running the program, press the Cancel button.

Use Your New Mouse Arrow and Wait Symbols for This Windows Session. If you want to keep the mouse arrows you've selected for the rest of the current Windows session, select your pointers and press the OK button.

Check ArrowSmith's Author or Version Number. To check the ArrowSmith author and version information, press the About button.
