Summary
-------

ViewNotes are online documents designed to answer questions you
may have about Microsoft Windows-based products. To read this
ViewNote in Microsoft Multimedia Viewer, a program that allows
you to read .MVB files (online Viewer documents), follow the 
instructions below. ViewNotes require Microsoft Windows operating
system version 3.0 or later.

FILES THAT MUST BE DOWNLOADED
-----------------------------

This ViewNote requires the following:

ViewNote Files
 - VM009.MVB (the ViewNote)
 - VM009.IND (the ViewNote index)

Viewer Files
 - MMVIEW.EXE (Microsoft Multimedia Viewer)
 - FTUI.DLL (Viewer file for full-text search)
 - FTENGINE.DLL (Viewer file for full-text search)
 - MVAPI.DLL (Viewer file for full-text search)

INSTALLATION
------------

Note: If you already have Microsoft Viewer (MMVIEW.EXE)
installed in your VIEWNOTE directory, skip to step 2.

To install the Viewer files (MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, and
FTENGINE.DLL) and the files for this ViewNote (VM009.MVB and 
VM009.IND), do the following:

Note: To save hard-disk space, you may prefer to copy this 
ViewNote to a high-density floppy disk and run the ViewNote from 
the floppy disk rather than running the ViewNote from your hard 
disk). If this is the case, copy MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, 
FTENGINE.DLL, VM009.MVB, and VM009.IND files to a floppy disk
instead of to your VIEWNOTE directory. 

1. If you do not have a VIEWNOTE directory set up with 
   MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, and FTENGINE.DLL located in 
   the directory, do the following to install a read-only version 
   of Viewer:

   a. Create a directory by choosing Create Directory from the 
      File menu in File Manager, typing "viewnote" (without the
      quotation marks) in the Name box, and choosing the OK 
      button.

   b. Download the Viewer files (MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, 
      and FTENGINE.DLL) from your bulletin board service (for
      example, from the Microsoft Download Service [MSDL], 
      OnLine, CompuServe, or GEnie). These Viewer files can be 
      obtained from the Software/Data Library on CompuServe, 
      OnLine, and GEnie by searching for the word MMVIEW or 
      S13434. Note that MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, and 
      FTENGINE.DLL are compressed in the file MMVIEW.ZIP on 
      CompuServe, OnLine, and GEnie. After the file has been 
      downloaded, you must decompress the file using the PKware 
      PKUNZIP utility.
                           
      These Viewer files can also be downloaded through the MSDL
      at (206) 936-6735. The Viewer files are located in the 
      Windows 3.1 file area and are in the self-extracting file 
      MMVIEWER.EXE.

2. Follow the instructions below. For example, if you obtained
   Viewer from MSDL, follow the instructions under the "MSDL
   Users" heading.

   MSDL Users
   ----------

   After you have downloaded MMVIEWER.EXE, move it to your 
   VIEWNOTE directory or floppy disk. Because this file is 
   compressed, it needs to be expanded by typing the name of the
   file (MMVIEWER) at an MS-DOS command prompt. (MMVIEW.EXE, 
   FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL, and FTENGINE.DLL are the expanded Viewer 
   files used to read ViewNotes.) Also, move VM009.MVB 
   (the ViewNote) and VM009.IND to your VIEWNOTE directory or 
   floppy disk:

   a. In File Manager, select the files you want to move.
   b. From the File menu, choose Move.
   c. In the To text box, enter the path to the VIEWNOTE 
      directory you created in step 1a.
   d. Choose the OK button.

   OnLine, CompuServe, GEnie Users
   -------------------------------

   After you have downloaded MMVIEW.ZIP (and decompressed 
   it if you are using OnLine, CompuServe, or GEnie), move the 
   decompressed Viewer files (MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL, MVAPI.DLL,
   and FTENGINE.DLL), VM009.IND, and VM009.MVB (the
   ViewNote) to your VIEWNOTE directory or floppy disk:

   a. In File Manager, select the files you want to move.
   b. From the File menu, choose Move.
   c. In the To text box, enter the path to the VIEWNOTE 
      directory you created in step 1a.
   d. Choose the OK button.      

READING THIS VIEWNOTE
---------------------

To read the "Multimedia Applications Information Guide" ViewNote, 
do the following:

1. After installing the Viewer files (MMVIEW.EXE, FTUI.DLL,
   MVAPI.DLL, and FTENGINE.DLL), VM009.MVB, and VM009.IND
   using the instructions above, run Windows File Manager.

2. If you are running "Multimedia Applications Information Guide" 
   from your hard disk, open the directory where Viewer,
   VM009.MVB, and VM009.IND reside (the VIEWNOTE directory if you
   followed the directions above) and double-click VM009.MVB.
   If you are using a keyboard, select VM009.MVB and press ENTER.

   -or-

   If you are running "Multimedia Applications Information Guide" 
   from a floppy disk, run MMVIEW.EXE, choose Open from the File menu
   in Viewer, select VM009.MVB, and choose the OK button.

SETTING UP A VIEWER ICON
------------------------

If you set up a Viewer icon, you can run Viewer by choosing the
icon, and then load the ViewNote by choosing Open from the 
File menu in Viewer, and selecting VM009.MVB from the VIEWNOTE
directory. To set up a ViewNote icon, create a program item for
Viewer. For information about creating a program item, see pages 
78-81 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for Windows version 
3.1 and pages 89-91 of the "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for 
version 3.0.
