DEMO WORKSHOP V1.1A Demo Workshop is a tool for creating software demonstration and tutorial programs. Demo Workshop uses actual screens recorded during execution of the program being presented. INSTALLATION Create a directory on your hard disk called DW and change directory to it like this. C:\> MKDIR DW C:\> CD DW C:\DW> Copy the DWRK11.ZIP or DWRK11.EXE file into this directory. If you have the .ZIP file, unzip it. If you have the .EXE file, execute it. The following files are created: SR.EXE The Demo Workshop screen recorder TSR DW.EXE The Demo Workshop presentation editor DW.HLP The presentation editor help file used by DW.EXE DWGUIDE.TXT The Demo Workshop Users Guide DEMOWKSH.P2 File required by DW.EXE to create standalone presentation programs DWDEMO.EXE Demonstration DW presentation ORDER.FRM The Demo Workshop registration and order form FILE_ID.DIZ BBS description file README.1ST This file To view the demo, execute DWDEMO.EXE. You might want to create an environment variable called DWDIR and equate it to the directory where you unpacked Demo Workshop. This will allow you to use Demo Workshop from another disk/directory it you wish. To do this, place a line like the following in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file: SET DWDIR=C:\DW You will need to reboot for this change to take effect. If you do not do this, and you execute DW from another directory, you will not be able to access help information or create .EXE output files. RELEASE NOTES You must create a recording file before you can use DW, the presentation editor. You can create an empty recording if you wish by invoking SR twice. The first time, a file called SCREEN.REC will be created, and the second time SR will remove itself from memory. Type SR /? to display a brief help screen for the screen recorder. V1.1 Changes V1.1 fixes bugs which caused program and system crashes when using the presentation editor DW.EXE. Our apologies to all who endured these problems. The flaw in our release procedure which allowed these bugs to be included in a released version has been corrected. V1.1A Changes V1.1A adds the "Save as Default" menu item to the Text Window Options and Menu Display options menus. This selection makes the attributes (color, border style, position, size) of the current text window or menu the initial defaults for new menus or text windows created for the presentation. The defaults are saved across DW sessions in the presentation file. Note that DW V1.1A presentation files may *not* be processed with DW V1.1 or V1.0. V1.1B Changes V1.1B allows entry of special characters using the ALT-keypad method of entry supported by MS-DOS. Previously, entry of special characters was not supported for titles, menu items, or scene names.
