Version 3.1e is a minor maintenence release. INSTALLATION Execute INSTALL.EXE from within Windows. Install will create a sub-directory of your choice, copy all distribution files and create a Program Manager Group for WinCover if you desire OR you may manually copy all distribution files to the directory of your choice. Use Windows Program Manager, the Windows Setup program or an equivalent process to install. Requires VBRUN300.DLL, not included. May be obtained from Compuserve and most major BBS's. FIRST TIME USE Complete help for first time use is available from the Help menu or by pressing the F1 key anywhere from within the program. WHEN UPGRADING FROM WINCOVER 3.0 OR 3.1: 1> (3.0) Delete ENUMFONT.DLL from your disk. It was installed by default in the Windows System directory. 2> Copy VBRUN300.DLL to your Windows System directory. VBRUN300.DLL is available from Compuserve, AOL and most BBS's. 3> Run INSTALL.EXE and place WinCover in a DIFFERENT directory than your current installation, copy your old data and bitmap files (.fax(3.0), .fcs(3.1)**, .db, .dat(3.0), .snd (3.1), .bmp) to the new directory. 4> (3.0) RUN CONVERT.EXE IN THE NEW DIRECTORY to convert to the new Sender and Fax file formats. See the Help menu of CONVERT.EXE for further instructions. YOU MUST CONVERT YOUR OLD DATA TO USE THIS VERSION. **IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM VERSION 3.1** Starting with version 3.1a there was a change of data sequencing in all .FCS (saved fax files). A bug in version 3.1 caused improper data sequencing in .FCS files if carriage returns were added to the notes section. This has been fixed in 3.1a or newer. Any .FCS files saved with version 3.1 will no longer be fully readable with 3.1a or newer with comments, date and notes entries out of sequence. The only way to recover these files is to manually re-sequence the data which is actually quite easy. IF YOU MUST RECOVER THESE DATA FILES, CONTACT THE AUTHOR FOR INSTRUCTIONS. DISTRIBUTION This program may be freely distributed by any BBS or Shareware distributor as long as all files listed above remain a part of the archive.
