              "Mo^.t Co+n Gio' Bu.i"  by Tra^`n Tro.ng Kim
              ============================================

INTRODUCTION:
------------

This is an electronic multimedia production of the book "Mo^.t Co+n
Gio' Bu.i" by Tra^`n Tro.ng Kim (1883-1953), a historian and former 
prime minister of Vietnam.

This book contains the memoirs of the author during the years 1943-1949, 
a turbulent and formative period in Vietnam's modern history.

The text has been reproduced by the Sa'ch Vie^.t group and turned into 
a multimedia product by Mike Do of the TriChlor group.
 

REQUIREMENTS:
------------

   * IBM PC compatible running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later, with display 
     setup for 256 or more colors (will run with less than 256 colors, but
     the color images will not look good). 

   * VISCII TrueType fonts in VNFON1TT.ZIP (available in the same archives).
     (These are automatically installed by the WinVNKey or VietVu keyboard 
     drivers.)

   * TriChlor Multimedia Book Viewer (TRIVIEW1.ZIP in the same archives).

   * VBRUN300.DLL in your windows\system directory.  This file may have 
     already been installed on your system, since many applications
     use it.  But if you do not have this file, you can download it 
     from many archives as VBRUN300.ZIP (including SimTel mirrors, 
     in the "windows" directory).  


INSTALLATION:
------------

This package is distributed in 2 parts, GIOBUI1A.ZIP and GIOBUI1B.ZIP,
in order to keep each part under the capacity of a floppy disk.  It will
also need library files from the TriChlor Multimedia Viewer (currently
TRIVIEW1.ZIP, available where you found GIOBUI) to run.  

To install the package:

1.  Get and install the TriChlor Multimedia Viewer using instructions
from the TRIVIEW package.

2.  Unzip GIOBUI1A.ZIP and GIOBUI1B.ZIP into a temporary directory on
your hard drive.

3.  Start Microsoft Windows.

4.  Use the RUN command under the Program Manager's FILE menu and 
select the SETUP program in the temporary directory you created.
Follow the instructions from the SETUP program to install.  Make sure
you install this package in the same directory as TRIVIEW.

5.  You may delete the temporary directory you created in step 2 to
save hard disk space once the installation is completed.

Notes:  

(1) Once GIOBUI has been installed, you can start it by itself or
call it from the TRIVIEW menu.  If you cannot call it from the TRIVIEW
menu, then make sure that the "Working Directory" item under the
"Properties" item of the Program Manager's File menu for TRIVIEW is set 
to the correct common directory.

(2) Many of the images in this package were not part of the original
book, and were included for entertainment/decorative purposes only.
In some instances, the images were taken much later than the time
period covered in the book.

(3) This production was tuned for the 1024 x 768 x 256 colors display
mode.  You can also use it under 800 x 600 x 256 and 640 x 480 x 256
modes, although some images and captions may be clipped.
