What You Need to Run WinBench

To run WinBench, you need to have the following hardware and software.

WinBench requires:

	A PC that runs Windows 3.0 or 3.1

	About 250,000 bytes available on your hard disk for the WinBench
	software itself.

	About 9 million bytes of available space on your hard disk for a
	temporary file to run the WinBench disk tests, and to save the results
	of any WinBench tests that you run.  If your hard disk does not have
	enough space for the work file, WinBench will not run the hard disk
	tests.

	MS-DOS Release 3.1 or later (Release 5.0 recommended)

	Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later (Release 3.1 or later recommended)

Installing WinBench

WinBench is distributed as as single self-extracting executable file,
WINB31.EXE, on a single diskette.  WINBENCH.EXE is the benchmark program
itself.  WINBENCH.HLP is the on-line help for WinBench.  README.TXT is this
file, an ASCII text file that describes how to install WinBench.

You will probably want to create a directory that contains the WinBench files,
and that will contain all of the report files generated by WinBench.  For
example, you could use the following DOS commands to create the WinBench
directory on your C: drive, and to change to that directory:

	MD C:\WinBench
	CD C:\WinBench

Then, execute the self-extracting WINB31 program to install all of the files
from the WinBench diskette. If the WinBench diskette is in the A: drive of your
PC, and you created the WinBench directory as shown above, do the following
command:

	A:WINB31

How to Use WinBench

You launch WinBench just like any other Windows application:

1.  After installing WinBench as shown above, you may execute the DOS
command:

	WIN WINBENCH

2. You may open up the file manager, go to the WinBench directory on your C:
drive, and double-click on WINBENCH.EXE.

For other instructions, see the on-line help for WinBench.
