Welcome to HOUSE ADVANCED DESKTOP FOR WINDOWS
Version 7.04

You can use HOUSE with Windows 3.1
or above, not including 32 Bit Windows.

Suggested System: 

486-33mhz, 8mb RAM, 1mB Video Local Bus
Video Mode - SVGA or above.

WHERE TO PUT HOUSE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should make a disk directory for
HOUSE and copy all the source files
(or unzip them) to that directory.

You will need the VISUAL BASIC FILE
VBRUN200.DLL to use this software.
It's available on almost every
Windows oriented BBS. 

Check your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory
before you using HOUSE.  VBRUN200.DLL
must be there before you can use
any of the HOUSE software. 

RUNNING THE PROGRAM 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once the DLL file is in place, the main
program HOUSE.EXE can be run from
Program Manager or File Manager using the
FILE-RUN command.  You can also add
HOUSE as an ICON to your PROGRAM
MANAGER if you like, or use it
as your replacement shell instead.

The HOUSE Desktop is a SHELL and is
well suited to replacing File manager
or Program Manager as your shell.

The START UP GROUP functions in HOUSE
will only work if HOUSE is your
Windows shell.  To change your shell,
launch the SYSTEM EDITOR item on your
first HOUSE menu.  Open SYSTEM.INI and
change SHELL= progman.exe
to SHELL=C:\HOUSE704\HOUSE.EXE
or similar depending on WHERE you
put the software. 

If you click the GROUP-PM function
while using HOUSE, you can create menus
for all your existing Program Manager
Groups and items automatically.  

Using the F-1 key to launch
the HOUSE HELP FILE right away
is a great idea!  HOUSE has a
totally unique interface that will
leave you guessing at first. 

Don't despair though..it's super
easy to use once you discover the 
basics!

I hope you enjoy Version 7.04!
