=================================================================

General
=======
    WinWisdom is designed to be a Quote-Of-The-Day program for
Microsoft Windows 3.0 and higher.  It will display a quote
every time you start Windows.  You can even print it.  It 
allows you to store and lookup quotes by author or subject.
You can build quote files for your own favorite quotes or use
the starter file that comes in this distribution package.

    Once installed, WinWisdom will display quote from the quote
file every time Windows is started.  If desired, additional
quotes can be displayed by pressing the MORE button.
WinWisdom can also be minimized to an icon and remain on your
desktop throughout your session; this allows you to get
additional quotes whenever you want by just double clicking
on the icon.  You may also customize the colors and fonts used
to display the quote.  It even comes with quote file maintenance
functions so you can build quote files of your own favorites.

Your registration supports shareware development.  The ability
to provide future releases depends on your support.

Installation
============
Because this program is written using Visual Basic v1.0, it
requires the file VBRUN100.DLL.  It is required to run all
Visual Basic v1.0 applications.  If you do not already have a
copy of this file, you may obtain it from Microsoft, Compuserve
or other on-line service, local BBS's, or shareware distributors.
In some cases, it may also be provided with the WinWisdom
distribution package.  Make sure that this file is in either the
c:\windows or c:\windows\system directory. 
 
WinWisdom v3.0 makes use of VB/ISAM.  VB/ISAM requires the file
VBISAMMX.DLL and it is distributed with WinWisdom.  While you may
copy this file into any directory in your DOS path or keep it in
the same directory containing the WinWisdom executable file, it
is best to place this file in either the c:\windows or
c:\windows\system directory. 
 
The following other files are part of the WinWisdom distribution
package: 
	WINWIS.EXE		- Program executable 
	WINWIS.HLP		- WinWisdom Help file 
	WINWIS30.ISM		- Starter quote file map component 
	WINWIS30.ISF		- Starter quote file finder component 
	WINWIS30.ISD		- Starter quote file data component 
	README.TXT		- WinWisdom information and instructions 
	REGISTER.TXT		- WinWisdom registration form
 
The easiest thing to do is to copy all of these files into the
c:\windows directory.  Doing this insures that everything is
available to Windows.  If you want to keep WinWisdom in a
separate directory, set one up and copy the above files into it.

In order to use the WinWisdom pop-up quote-of-the-day feature,
you will need to do one of the following depending on whether
you are running Windows 3.0 or 3.1. 
 
If you have Windows 3.0, do the following: 
1.  Using any text editor (Notepad is good for this, SysEdit is
    better), open the WIN.INI file in your Windows directory. 
2. Several lines down from the top of the file, you will find
   a line which begins with 'RUN='.  This line tells Windows 
   what programs to run after it boots.  Change this line to 
   read:  RUN=WINWIS.EXE [plus any other startup programs]. 
3. Save the WIN.INI file.  The next time you start Windows,
   WinWisdom will pop-up displaying your quote-of-the-day. 
 
If you have Windows 3.1 you can do the above, or the following: 
1. Open the group that you have designated as your start-up group
   (by default, the group is 'StartUp'). 
2. From the File menu, select 'New', then select 'Program Item'. 
3. Type WinWisdom as the description (or any thing else you want
   to call it) and type WINWIS.EXE as the command line. 
4. If you put WinWisdom in a directory other than the Windows
   directory, you will need to type the directory in the working
   directory field, and add the directory to the command line
   field. 

Due to the use of VB/ISAM, this version of WinWisdom requires a
change to your CONFIG.SYS file. 
 
Make a backup of this file in case anything goes wrong.  Using
any text editor (Notepad is good for this, SysEdit is better),
insert the following line into your CONFIG.SYS file:
 
	install=c:\dos\share.exe 

This assumes that the SHARE.EXE file resides in the DOS
directory of your C: drive.  If not, use whatever is appropriate
for your system.  Save the file.   
 
Note: In order for this change to take effect, your computer 
must be rebooted.  To do that, exit Windows.  At the DOS prompt,
press CTRL+ALT+DEL.
