Envelop Version 1.2.2 This file contains installation instructions and license information. If you have difficulty installing or running Envelop, first check the file TROUBLE.TXT to see if your problem is described there. If that doesn't help, you can send e-mail to support@envelop.com, or you can use the problem-reporting facilities at our Web site: http://www.envelop.com. PLEASE NOTE: Envelop requires Windows '95 or NT 3.51 to install and run properly. If you do not have one of these operating systems, you must upgrade your system before installing Envelop. The following text files are included on the first installation disk, and also are installed to the Envelop Program directory: - NOTES.TXT: release notes, i.e. what's new since previous release - TROUBLE.TXT: troubleshooting information - JOIN_US.TXT: information about joining the Enveloper Corps - STORY.TXT: the Envelop story, who we are, and why we are - REGISTER.TXT: how to register your copy of Envelop Engine - LICENSE.TXT: license agreement for Envelop software Please read these files carefully before running Envelop. Setup instructions from electronic download: 1. Close all running applications. 2. In a temporary directory, decompress the self-extracting archive by running it. Use the Run command from either the Start button menu (Windows 95) or the File Menu of the Program Manager (Windows NT) to invoke the self-extracting archive (e.g. "FENVELOP.EXE"). This requires approximately 7M of disk space. 3. Invoke the Envelop setup program (SETUP.EXE) from the temp directory where you unpacked the archive. Again, use the Start button or the Program Manager's File menu to select Run, then enter the path or browse to select the Envelop setup program. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions as given by the setup program. A complete installation requires approximately 20M of free disk space on the target drive. 5. When the installation is complete, you may delete all the files from the temp directory where you placed the contents of the archive. You may wish to keep a backup copy of the archive itself in case you want to re-install Envelop. Setup instructions from floppy diskettes: 1. Close all running applications. 2. Insert disk 1 in your 3.5" floppy drive (A:). 3. Choose the File Menu from the Windows Program Manager and select Run. 4. Type A:\setup and press ENTER. 5. Follow the on-screen instructions. Getting started: The "Introduction" and "Tutorials" sections of the Envelop online help file enable you to start using Envelop immediately. To display the help file, start Envelop and choose Help|Envelop Help Topics from the main menu bar, or just double-click on the file ENVELOP.HLP (installed in the directory HELP, under the directory containing your Envelop installation). Included in the "Introduction" section are a tour of the main tools for working with objects in the Envelop system, and information about the samples included with the Envelop distribution. The "Tutorials" section contains step-by-step exercises that introduce you to the processes of working with objects as components and applications, including how to analyze the techniques used in the samples. NOTES 1. It is important that the C:\ENVELOP\PROGRAM directory appears in your PATH environment variable in order for Envelop to run properly. From version 1.0.1 on, the setup program for Envelop tries to ensure that this is the case, but there are some circumstances under which the setup program cannot force the program directory into your path. If this happens you should manually alter your PATH so the Envelop program directory is part of your search path. LICENSE The license agreement is found on disk 1 in the file LICENSE.TXT. By running this version of Envelop, you agree to the terms and conditions therein.
