Installation

	What You Need:

	Besides the files in the zip file you will also
	need VB40032.DLL. This is the run-time module
	needed to run all programs written in the 32bit Visual 
	Basic programming language.

	On CompuServe GO PCFF to access the file finder. Search
	for the File Name VB40032.ZIP. Download the file.

	On AOL goto Keyword FILESEARCH. As a Search Definition 
	type in VB400. Download the file.

	VB40032.DLL can also be obtained from the Windswept
	Software web sight at:
	http:\\ourworld.compuserve.com\homepages\gregdebacker
	Go to the What You Need section. Download the file.

	VB40032.DLL can be found on most on-line services. It
	is usually stored as VB40032.ZIP. Once you have the zip 
	file uncompress it and copy VB40032.DLL to your
	C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. You only need one copy of
	this no matter how many Visual Basic programs you have.



	Install The Program:

	If you have the program files on a disk in drive
	A: you would select Run from the Start menu of the 
	Windows 95 Taskbar and then type in A:\setup and hit
	the Enter key.

	If the files are in a directory on your hard drive
	you can Right-Click (click the right mouse button)
	on the SETUP.EXE file from the Explorer and then select 
	Open from the menu that appears. You can also Double-Click
	on SETUP.EXE

	Once the setup program is running follow the on screen 
	instructions for installation.



Version History
	Version 1.1
		First public release.

		Known Bugs: 
		Lost Formatt: When copying formatted text from a Rich Text
		Format document in WindPad to a Rich Text Format document
		in another word processor the text will lose its formatting.
		
		Work Around: Open both WindPad and the other word processor
		side by side and drag the selected text from WindPad and
		drop it into the other document.

		Zip Archive:There are two bugs. One, can't add files to
		an archive if the file is in the root directory. Two, 
		unable to open files that are password protected. You can
		create password protected files.

		Work Around: For number one, simply move the file you wish
		to add to the archive to some place other than the root
		directory. There is no work around for the second problem.
		Check my web sight for an update to the fuction library.

	Version 1.2
		Fixed problem with Send Mail. If you chose Read Mail and then
		selected Send Mail you received a "Subscript out of range"
		error. Both Send and Read Mail work reliably now.

		Fixed problem with Mark Tags from the HTML menu. Mark Tags
		would skip some tags when two tags were up against each other
		with no spaces or text between them.

		Added Delete support for Zip Archive files. You can now
		delete one or more files from an archive.

		Zip from the root directory. This has been fixed.

		Zip Password protection fixed.

		Found a problem with viewing Web Pages from WindPad using
		MS Internet Explorer 2.0. IExplorer comes up but the
		page is not displayed. This is a problem with IExplorer 2.0
		Works with iExplorer 3.0 and all versions of Netscape 
		Navigator.
	Version 1.3
		Fixed bug in file finder.
