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

File Info
=========

    Filename:  cmfriend.zip
   File size:  1,750,249 bytes
        Date:  May 25, 1998
Requirements:  Windows 95
               Microsoft Plus! (or equivalent Theme handler)
               WinZip for Windows 95
 Recommended:  1024 x 768 screen resolution, at 16.7 million colors


Installation
============

The path names of the folders in this theme pack is saved into the zip file;
this was done to make installation easier.  That is, if you kept the default
folder names for Microsoft Plus!...

1.  After opening the file in Winzip, select "Extract"
2.  Make sure "Use Folder Names" is checked
3.  Enter "C:\" in the "Extract To:" field
4.  Click on "Extract"


This will install the screensaver, the font, the icons, the wallpaper, and the
animated cursors, however, it will not replace your shutdown screens.  I chose
to not let it do so in case you want to keep backup copies of your shutdown
screens, just in case.  To apply the shutdown screens supplied in this Theme
Pack, use the following instructions:

1.  From the "Start" menu, go to "Programs," and then "MS-DOS Prompt"
2.  Type "ren logo*.sys *.bak" and press <enter>
3.  Type "xcopy \progra~1\plus!\themes\friends\logo*.sys" and press <enter>
4.  Type "exit" and press <enter>

Credits

Special thanks to Ben Kung for his input while I working on the theme pack.
Since I don't have any hard copies of actual "Friends" pictures, all images
were taken somewhere off the net, and then modified using various programs
available to me so that they can be used in this theme pack.  These utilities
include Paint Shop Pro, Adobe PhotoDeluxe, MicroAngelo Studio, and the XrX
Logo Utility.  A few of the sounds were also taken off other web sites, but
they were mostly recorded from the tapes I have.

The Complete Friends Theme Pack includes more animated cursors than are
actually used; I chose the two I was most proud of, but you're given the
choice of selecting others if you would like to do so..  To change the mouse
cursors, go to the "Control Panel," then double-click on the "Mouse" icon, and
select the "Pointers" tab.
