                          WinRamp Lite 1.11
            * Your Personal Access to the Data Super-Highway *

   This README.1ST file contains important information that will make
   your installation so much easier if you read it (Really!). Do youself
   a big favour .. go ahead, read it and make YOUR day!

1. THANK YOU FOR TRYING WinRamp Lite.
   First off, the folks at Vironix NA would like to thank you for taking
   the time to download WinRamp Lite! We sure you will find the
   application a worthwhile addition to your software collection.


2. NB! READ THIS SECTION IF YOU ALREADY HAVE VERSION 1.1
   ONLY follow the instructions in THIS section if you already have
   Version 1.1, otherwise you MUST do the full installation procedure.

   The ONLY change from WinRamp Lite Version 1.1 to this Version 1.11 is
   a completely new WINRAMP.FON file. There is therefore NO NEED to go
   through the entire installation procedure if you already have Version
   1.1 successfully installed.

   In this distribution the WINRAMP.FON has not been archived. Thus all
   you will need to do is manually remove the existing Version 1.1
   WINRAMP.FON by means of the Font Manager in the Control Panel
   (usually found in the Main Group), and then install this new
   WINRAMP.FON.

   The difference between the two is obvious in the size of the Version
   1.1 font file is 192,016 bytes, and the NEW Version 1.11 font file is
   now 114,336 bytes.

3. NB! UPGRADING FROM WINRAMP LITE 1.00b or 1.01
   If you have been running a previous version of WinRamp Lite (i.e.
   version 1.00b or version 1.01) just prior to installing this new
   version, AND you have not closed down Windows since running the old
   version, it is highly likely that the WINRAMP.FON file is still in
   memory and may be locked.

   As the WINRAMP.FON must be upgraded to successfully use the VT
   emulations, it is recommeneded that you first restart Windows. This
   will release the font file and allow the installation procedure to
   automatically upgrade to the new updated font file.

4. AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVE.
   The original distribution archives (either RMP111.ZIP or
   WRAMP111.ZIP) were compressed with PkWare's PKZIP Authentification
   Verification feature. If you obtained an archive without the -AV, it
   is possible that some installation files could be missing. Should
   your installation fail, please obtain the orginal archive. This can
   be found on Compuserve in the WINSHARE AND IBMCOM forums and The
   WinRamp Support BBS at 1-508-373-3336.
   
5. INSTALLATION NOTES.
   We *highly* recommend that you run the INSTALL.EXE program to assist
   with the installation. The install program will take care of all the
   details such as registering the WINRAMP font file with Font Manager.

   Most of the files within the RMP111.ZIP or WRAMP111.ZIP archive are
   compressed to save space on your drive after installation. You can
   delete these files after installation, however if you do this, we
   recommend you keep the original distribution archive. The EXTRACT.EXE
   utility included with the original distribution archive can be used
   to decompress any distribution file when required.

   IF you choose NOT to use the Installation program (we do NOT
   recommend this), remember to register the file WINRAMP.FON with the
   Font Manager (in Control Panel). Winramp's terminal emulations will
   be severely limited if this is not done.

   If the Installation fails for some reason, please be sure to check
   the text file PACKING.LST to make sure that you have all the files
   neccessary to run WinRamp Lite. PACKING.LST includes the addresses to
   online locations where you can be sure to obtain the orginal WinRamp
   Lite archive.

6. RIPSCRIP ICONS.
   If you will be accessing Online Systems that support the graphical
   emulation standard RIPScrip 1.x, and you do NOT yet have any RIP
   Icon files on your hard-drive, you MUST run the self-extracting
   archive file RIPICONS.EXE into the following directory:

   <drive and WinRamp Lite directory>\RIP\ICONS

   If you already have a collection of RIP Icons files from a different
   application, you may wish to rather set up the WinRamp Lite RIP
   Terminal emulation to "point" to these existing icons.

7. REVISION HISTORY.
   All changes and revisions have been recorded within the Online Help
   file, and within the REVISION.111 text file.

Thanks once again for trying Winramp Lite!
