I.Installation Problems.
(all references to C: refer to the drive where windows
is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive)
1) WAYCOOL is written using Microsoft(R) Visual Basic(tm) v3.0.
Microsoft(R) and other visual basic custom control (VBX) makers
insist that to preserve the license of these controls
they be installed in the Windows\System directory. Many
shareware or other programs do not follow these guidelines
and hence are in violation of the distribution agreements for
these controls. In addition, they cause problems for those
who do follow the rules. In order to maintain the license
agreement, WAYCOOL installs the visual basic controls from
each of the programs included on this CD ROM to the
Windows\System directory during the setup of WAYCOOL.
If during installation or operation of the WAYCOOL program
you encounter "cannot copy", "Invalid property", or "Invalid
file format" messages or really any problems at all please
perform the following steps.
1. Exit Windows
2. At the DOS prompt enter the following commands:
Copy c:\windows\*.vbx c:\windows\system
erase c:\windows\*.vbx
3. (optional) type: dir c:\*.vbx /s /p
and locate all vbx files and copy them to the windows\system
directory then delete them from the original location.
4. Restart windows and reinstall the WAYCOOL CDROM by choosing
file/run from Program Manager or File Manager and type d:\setup
In addition, some programs copy VBRUN300.DLL and other VBX files in
other areas besides Windows\System directory. It is advisable to
search your entire machine for VBRUN300.DLL and delete any occurance not
in your Windows\system directory before installing WAYCOOL. This
can be done by using the FileManager's search under File\Search.
2) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation can
be done by the following instructions: [Remember, this is ONLY as a last
resort and should not be done until ALL other options have failed.]
1. EXIT WINDOWS
2. At the dos prompt ( C:\> ) type:
C:\> CD \
C:\> MD \WAYCOOL
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL\*.* C:\WAYCOOL
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL\WAYCOOL.INI C:\WINDOWS
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL\WAYCOOL.HLP C:\WINDOWS
3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the waycool.ini and change
the line "GamesPath=D:\GAMES" replacing D: with your drive
i.e. "GamesPath=E:\GAMES"
C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\WAYCOOL.INI
4. Restart Windows and create a WayCool group and icon in Progam Manager by
following the instructions below:
1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
2. Select Program Group option and click Ok.
3. In the Group Name type: WayCool Windows Games
4. Click Ok to create the group.
5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
6. Select Program Item option and click Ok.
7. In Description, type: WayCool
8. In Command Line, type: C:\WayCool\WayCool.exe
9. In Working Directory, type: C:\WayCool
10. Click OK to create the Icon.
5. If you have further problems, please read the notes above.
3) DISK SPACE - WayCool takes up less than 2 megabytes of harddisk when
installed on your computer. Actually system files required to run the
games take most of that and you may already have alot of these files
so it can take as little as 600K. During installation, Setup.exe copies
about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are required
to install WayCool but are deleted after the setup is finished. If you
do not have the system files it can require 2.5 megabytes to install.
If you get the message that you do not have enough free space to install
waycool, move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file
until you have completed the installation then you put them back.

II. WayCool colors and grahics
1) There is a known problem with the 8514 video drivers and large font
option on ATI mach8 drivers. Operation is not affected but the 3D
look of certain windows is impacted. Also the About screen
background bitmap is smaller than it should be.
_________________________________________________________________________________
III. Memory
1) Some games do not release their allocated memory after exiting the
game. If you encounter a "not enough memory", "not enough
resources" error or a game does not appear to be running properly,
exit WAYCOOL, restart Windows and try again.

IV. Sample WAYCOOL.INI file
1)
[Start]
File=c:\Waycool\WAYCOOL.LST
Path=C:\Waycool <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH
GamePath=D:\games <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH
[Options]
Button=All
Sound=Yes
_________________________________________________________________________________
V. Recommendations and Notes.
1) Video: For best results use 256 colors or more. Some games require
a minimum of 256 colors to run.
2) Sound: We recommend using an MPC(tm) compatible sound board.
Windows PC speaker driver will work as well.
If you have neither, Click Options/Sound so that the check
is off.
3) Mode: Should be in 386 Enhanced mode.
4) Memory: 4 MB of memory is recommend. Please note section III.
