Your previous notes should be maintained. 0. Unzip the file. The file name of the program should be "holonote.exe" ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Move "holonote.exe" and "readme.txt" to any directory you like. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Check whether you have VB4 32bit RunTime Library in your Windows 95's system directory. (usually at c:\windows\system) The RunTime Library consists of three system files vb40032.dll , olepro32.dll , and msvcrt40.dll If you have them already, skip below and go to step 3. If you don't have them, move the 3 DLL files you just unzipped to your Windows 95's system directory. (usually at c:\windows\system) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Run holonote.exe file from the directory you placed this program. (you can also create a shortcut to this program by yourself) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Installation complete. __________________________________________________________________ U N I N S T A L L A T I O N I N S T R U C T I O N 1. Go to the directory where "holonote.exe" file is stored. (You can use FIND FILE from the Start button to find the file.) ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Remove "holonote.exe" (the program file), "holonote.ini" (the configuration file), "holo*.nte" (the individual note files). ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Please try NOT to delete the VB runtime files, which includes vb40032.dll, olepro32.dll, and msvcrt40.dll from your windows 95 system directory. The reason is that maybe you have some other programs, which are written in VB, that requrie these DLL fiels in your system. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Uninstallation complete. ======= Note: ======= * This is a beta program.
