You can use Alternate Sources without these fonts, however the resulting appearance of the fonts in the windows may not allow you to use the application easily because your operating system will substitute its own fonts for the special Alternate Sources ones.

When using Alternate Sources you can access the Help System at any time by clicking the button with the question mark at the lower right of the window. Context-sensitive help for each window is available by clicking on the question mark at the top left of the window. Clicking on the same question mark when in context-sensitive help will return you to where you were.

If you have Windows 3.1, you will need to install Win32s 1.30c before using Alternate Sources. A copy is provided in the WIN32S1.30C folder, or you can obtain the latest version from Microsoft Corporation (http://Microsoft.com).

To create Win32s diskettes:

1. Format three 1.4 MB diskettes and name them Disk1, Disk2, and Disk3.

2. Drag the contents of the corresponding folders from the CD-ROM onto the diskettes.

   Important: Disk names, filenames, and paths cannot be modified or the Win32s installation will fail.

1. Open the 386 Enhanced control panel and change the virtual memory type to Permanent;

2. Make sure that the swap file size is at least 20480KB;

3. Select Use 32-Bit Disk Access and Use 32-Bit Access, if available;

   If you have had to make an changes to your settings, restart Windows before installing Win32s;

4. Install Win32s: From the Program Manager, run SETUP.EXE in the WIN32S1.30C folder;

5. At the end of the Win32s installation, you will be asked whether you want to install the game Freecell. We recommend that you do, because running it will help verify that the Win 32s softwere has been installed correctly.

6. Restart your computer before installing or running Alternate Sources;

7. After running Alternate Sources for the first time, make sure that the 4WINSYS folder is in the Windows System folder.

1. Install the TrueType fonts from the CD-ROM's fonts folder on your system. You need to install both the Daily Life and Annaas fonts for Alternate Sources to appear as we intended. If you do not know how to install fonts, please see your system's user manual. (You can use Alternate Sources without these fonts, however the resulting appearance text in the windows may not allow you to use the application easily because your operating system will substitute its own fonts for the special Alternate Sources ones.)

2. If you decide to install Alternate Sources on your hard drive, create a folder for the Alternate Sources files. Copy the Alternate Sources application and data files, the 6 .dlls, and, if you are running Windows 3.1, the 4WINSYS folder into the folder you just created on your hard disk. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows NT, you do not need the 4WINSYS folder or its contents.

3. Do not copy the System folder or its contents from the CD-ROM to your hard drive folder. They are there for future use only.

4. If you are using Windows 3.1 and you intend to run Alternate Sources from your hard disk, do not run it until you have copied the 4WINSYS folder to your Alternate Sources folder on your hard disk.

5. On Windows 3.1 systems, the first time you run Alternate Sources, it will move the needed contents of the 4WINSYS folder on your hard disk into your Windows System folder.

To run the Alternate Sources application, double-click on the CD-ROM or installed hard drive version of the AltSrc application file.

On all Windows systems, the first time you run Alternate Sources, you should double-click on the application file, not the data file. This is because the application extension associated with Alternate Sources (.AS3) will not be registered with the operating system until the application file has been opened once. If you attempt to double-click on the datafile before the application has been registered, the application will not be found.

After the initial copyright screen has been shown for about three seconds, you will be presented with the Details window. Further instructions are available in the booklet provided inside the CD-ROM jewel case.

For those who want a quick start without the manual, you will find the Alternate Sources application buttons at the bottom of the the screen are designed to make finding the right function easy. Just click the button you want. Clicking on the Alternate Sources name at the top of any of the windows will take you to a window with ways to contact us and access to the version number and other information about your CD-ROM.

When using Alternate Sources you can access the Help System at any time by clicking the button with the question mark at the lower right of the window. Context-sensitive help for each window is available by clicking on the question mark at the top left of the window. Clicking on the same question mark when in context-sensitive help will return you to where you were.
