There are three files for Version 1.0 of Programs WP:

   1. readme.txt -- the file you are reading now
   2. pgmwp.exe  -- the executable, a 32-bit Windows program
   3. pgmwp.hlp  -- the Windows help file for the executable


System requirements:

   A true 32-bit Windows system, such as Windows NT, is needed to run
   Programs WP.

   Note that Programs WP will not run correctly on a Windows 3.1 system that
   has Win32s installed. Programs WP does not limit itself in all the ways
   required by Win32s, and consequently does not work correctly on that system.


Installation:

1. Place both the executable (pgmwp.exe) and the help file (pgmwp.hlp)
   together in the same directory. The directory can be any directory.

2. Use Windows' Program Manager to add Programs WP to the program group of
   your choice. Program groups are the windows on the Program Manager's
   desktop that contain program icons. To choose the program group into
   which you want the Program Manager to place the icon for Programs WP,
   select any icon already in the wanted program group. An icon can be
   selected by moving the mouse cursor onto the icon and then clicking the
   left mouse button so that the icon name is highlighted.

3. Once the wanted program group has been identified to the Program Manager,
   select New from the File menu of the Program Manager. Doing this invokes
   a dialog. In the dialog, select Program Item (this is the default
   selection) and select the OK button. Doing this invokes the next dialog.
   In what follows, C:\DIR1 stands for whatever is the pathname to the
   directory in which you placed both the executable and the help file.

   On the Description line of the dialog, enter a description, such as:

         Programs WP

   On the Command Line, enter the complete path and filename of the executable:

         C:\DIR1\pgmwp.exe

   On the Working Directory line, enter the complete path to the executable and
   its help file, so that the executable can find its help file:

         C:\DIR1

4. Select the OK button. The new program item is added to the program group 
   that you selected earlier. Installation of Programs WP is complete.


If you are running the October 1992 Windows NT beta version:

   The October 1992 release of Windows NT has only a few fonts, and Courier New
   at a 10-point size is the default font that Programs WP uses initially (the
   Settings menu of Programs WP allows the font and point size to be changed).
   However, the October 1992 Windows NT release generates the lower-case letter
   m slightly wider than it should. This flaw has not been observed by the
   author for other point sizes of Courier New, or for the other fonts that
   came with the October 1992 Windows NT release.

   The result of the flaw -- unless you change the font or point size to
   something other than 10-point Courier New -- is that typing the letter m
   followed by one or more characters causes a black dot to appear at the
   lower right of the last character typed on that line. In effect, the black
   dot was trimmed off the too-wide letter m. Hitting the Escape key, among
   other things, will remove the black-dot artifact from the screen. The author
   assumes that future versions of Windows NT will correct this flaw.
