12:00PM 2/14/97 ReadMe.Txt Requirements ============ WinBreadboard requires Windows 3.1, NT or 95 and 720kb of Disk Space.

Getting Started =============== Installing WinBreadboard Create a WBRD (WinBreadboard) Directory To create a WBRD directory under Windows 3.1 start up the File Manager application. Select the location of the directory. Then select Create Directory from the File Menu. When you are prompted for a name type wbrd. Copy the *entire* contents of the WinBreadboard Disk to the WBRD directory on your hard drive. To copy the contents of the WinBreadboard Disk to the WBRD directory under Windows startup the File Manager application. Select the WBRD directory on your hard drive, then select the drive that corresponds to your 3 1/2 inch floppy drive (usually A or B). Select all of the files, drag them and drop them on your hard drive. This should copy all of the files to your WBRD directory. Create a WinBreadboard Program Manager item (Win 3.1). To create a WinBreadboard Program Manager item under Windows select the group you want to put the application into. (You may wish to create a group for WinBreadboard.) Then select New from the File Menu. Make sure the radio button next to Program Item is selected. Select OK. Select the Browse button and locate the WBRD directory. Select WBRD.EXE. Type WinBreadboard in to the Description field. Then select OK. You should now have a WinBreadboard Program Item. You may run WinBreadboard from a floppy also, although, some operations will be slower. Either way, be sure to make a backup copy for your personal use. To start WinBreadboard, double-click on the WinBreadboard Application Icon. The first time you run WinBreadboard you will need to enter your name, organization, and the unique serial number found on your registration sheet (the last page on the user manual). WinBreadboard is licensed to run on only one computer at a time, and is serialized to enforce this restriction. Compatibility Issues ==================== It has come to our attention that the Buzzer may not be compatible with all of the available sound drivers. WinBreadboard works best with the standard sound driver that is provided with Windows 3.1. If you are using the PC-Speaker Sound Driver you will experience problems. You will need to remove the PC-Speaker Driver to use the Buzzer feature of WinBreadboard. The PC-Speaker Driver is only capable of playing sounds synchronously. This is incompatable with the desired use of WinBreadboard's buzzer.

Other sound drivers may also have problems. The Buzzer should make a continuous high pitched noise if it is working correctly. If you don't hear the noise or you hear a clicking sound, WinBreadboard is not compatible with your sound driver. You will need to remove your sound driver and use the standard windows sound driver.
