Step-by-Step Instructions
+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++

Unzip all files into its own directory. The program is ready to
run. The program does NOT require any installation. To set up for
your CD just follow the following steps:

- Create an "AUTOptn" directory (see NOTE)

- Unzip the files into this directory

- Optionally unzip SysFiles.ZIP (downloadable separately) into the
  same directory. This makes sure your program will work on all
  systems.

- Create your own logo.bmp file for the flash image (and copy
  it to the directory).

- Run the AUTGProg.exe to create your INI file.
  Copy this INI file over to your AUTOption directory. You DO NOT
  need to copy the AUTOProg INI file programmer, it is for INI
  creation only.

- Replace the included "start.wav" and "change.wav" with you own
  wave sounds if you like.

- write your CD, making sure you moved the autorun.inf to the
  root directory of the CD.

NOTE that the supplied autorun.inf assumes you copied the program
into a directory call AUTOptn, and that you will use the programs
icon to represent your CD. Open the autorun.inf file to change these
details

AUTOption INI Programmer (AUTGPRog.exe)
+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++

CREATING AN EXIT BUTTON========================================

When creating the INI file in AUTGProg, the buttons have no commands
associated with them by default. This is shown by bordering the
image which involves a line drawn around the image that forms the
button. Buttons that have no command associated with them fucntion
as EXIT buttons, that is when you click them in AUTOption Graphic
they will cause the program to close (without executing any commands).
To create an Exit button, simply click one of the buttons (without
dragging) and enter your button image you might have an image called,
say, "exit.bmp"), then delete any command (or "link") information
so that the text entry area is blank.

Your button should now appear with your exit button image and a black
line surrounding it. DON'T WORRY, the line will not be around the image
in AUTOption! Now when your user clicks the "EXIT" button, the program
will exit without executing any commands.

CREATING A MULTI-LEVEL MENU=====================================

With AUTOptn you can create a multi-level menu, allowing you to group
buttons on separate screens. You can have AUTOption load an individual
image for each group of buttons, have different button text &
associated commands, have different number of buttons etc.

To build multi-level menus you simply build separate INI files and
for the button command just refer to the INI file you wish to load.

You must place all the INIs in the AUTOption directory. They must
conform to a "auto*.ini" mask. In other words, must be something like
"auto001.ini" or "auto_util.ini". You still must have a default
INI file named autoptn.ini.

PS. You can "drag-and-drop" INIs into the AUTGprog.exe file. When
writing the INI please make sure you correctly name it.

================================================================
You enter the button text and command by clicking (and not dragging)
on the indiviual buttons.

You can drag the buttons on the form directly, or for pixel by
pixel movement use the orange "arrowed" area. The middle button gives
some brief help information.

The "Bitmap to be Used" Field is for the background bitmap. You
have to place all background bitmaps and INIs in the same directoy
as AUTOption.

The Submit button in the Registration Information section simply
checks your registration information to confirm it has been entered
correctly.

You are not allowed to have blank captioned buttons, there must be
at least on character describing the button. Use the & symbol to
create a keyboard shortcut to the item. Such that EXIT would
acually be E&XIT.

It is best to leave an INI file in the INI programmers directory so
that it will load up with your prefered defaults and your
registration details already entered.

The button commands can be to a file, program, directory or 
internet site as follows:

File: ========================================================
"\directory\file.doc" (on the CD), or "C:\windows\readme.txt"

Program: =====================================================
"\directory\program.exe" (on the CD), or "C:\windows\Notepad.exe"

Directory: ===================================================
"\directory\directory\" (on the CD), or "C:\windows\", even "C:\windows"

Internet Site: ===============================================
"http://www.powerup.com.au/~calypso/register.htm"

+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++---------+++

Do not include the inverted commas (") when entering commands.

The absence of the drive (eg C:) means that the link is to the CD.

Slash directions above should be followed. The world MAY come 
to a stop if you do not...

Trailing slashes on directory links do not matter.

The image displayed must be in Bitmap form, named logo.bmp and
placed in the same directory as AUTO-G.exe.
