How to install Brana90
=================================================================
                      
 Brana90 runs on Microsoft windows 3.1 or later.
 It will run on 386 machines with at least  4MB of memory.
------------------------------Part I------------------------------

1.  make a temp directory on your hard disk.
    eg.  c:\tmp
    You can do this either from DOS or the Netscape 'Save as'
    dialog box.
2. download brana.exe to c:\tmp
________After brana.exe is downloaded______________________

3.  exit Netscape.
4.  exit to dos.
    cd  c:\tmp
        type  the word 'brana'  and press enter. This will expand the
        compressed file brana.exe.
5.  exit   (start windows)
6.  From Windows file manager, click on file, click on run,
    (if windows95, click on start, run) 
    type c:\tmp\setup and click on ok. 
7.  After Installation is complete you will find a Brana90 Icon. 
    -Run brana90 by double clicking on the Icon.
     (if windows95 you can use the control key and the mouse at the same
     time to drag the brana icon and place it on the desktop).
    -Click on file, click on open,load fidel.hed and print it by clicking
     on the printer Icon on the tool bar.

                             Problems
                             ========
The setup program loads four files into your windows or
windows\system directory. Some times these files may encounter already
existing more current files.  For example you may get a message similar
to the following one.

"Setup can not replace ver.dll"

Do the following:

- Exit to Dos
- cd \tmp [Enter]
- copy setup.lst setup.old [Enter] (In case you need Setup.lst again)
  use any text editor the DOS editor 'edit' is best for this purpose.
- edit setup.lst [Enter]
. . . you should see the following four lines

SETUP1.EX_
VER.DL_
SETUPKIT.DL_
VBRUN300.DL_

If the offending file is VER.DLL delete the line VER.DL_ .
If it is VBRUN300.DLL delete VBRUN300.DL_.
Do not leave any blank lines in the file.
Save the file back on setup.lst .
Make sure you save it as DOS text file (ASCII file).

Go back to step 5.

If you have the error: 'Setup can not load BranaI.TTF' you are trying 
to install Brana while the brana fonts are in memory.
Exit windows and start windows again.
And install brana before running any other program.

Another source of problem is a printer that is not properly defined. 
Make sure the printer driver is properly installed.

How to define brana as an APP Helper in Netscape. When you use the Web,
you can read brana files using an App Helper. Helpers can be defined
for files with different extensions. Brana files with hed extensions can
be recognized by  Ms Explorer and Netscape. However, Netscape uses the
helper definition correctly when accessed in 'ftp' mode but assumes every
extension it does not know is a 'bin' or 'exe' when accessed by the
'http' instruction. I believe that is a bug in Netscape.

For the above reason I save all my brana files to be used by web browsers
as rtf files. You can create your web files with hed files also. But
Netscape users will be forced to define their exe,bin helper as brana.
Brana can save files in rtf format. There fore it is advisable to save
files for use in Web applications in rtf format.

Here is how the rtf App helper is defined to use brana.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Netscape (start Netscape)
-Options
-Preferences (General Preferences)
Find a line that defines rtf files. It probably looks like the following.

application/x-rtf        Ask user

If you do not see the 'Ask user' under Action, select the line by clicking
on it. Then find a row labeled 'Action' and select 'Unknown: Prompt User'.
The Action in the highlighted line should read 'Ask user'.
-Ok

When you try to view an rtf file a dialog box will be displayed and you
will be asked to define an rtf file viewer. Browse and click on
c:\brana90\brana90.exe

How to define your mail browser to use brana.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I used only Pegasus Mail v2.42.  However,  I was told the latest version 
of  Eudora can also be defined to use brana.

 Pegasus.
------------
- run Pegasus
- click on  file
- click on  preferences
- click on attachment viewers
- click on add
- select attachment's file extension.
-  in the box labeled  'Matches'  type   the word  hed
- select  run  this program
- in the box left for the program name type   c:\brana90\brana90.exe
- in extension to use for temporary file,  type hed
- click on ok
- click on close

when you get an attached mail click on the attached brana mail and
click on use viewer.
Mails attached by Netscape and sent usually arrive with file name
UNTITLED.  To read brana files sent by Netscape using Pegasus,
define a second viewer similar with the above but one small change.
in the box labeled 'Matches' enter '.' (ie a decimal point) only.


Eudora
--------

In windows 95  use the following . Some are single clicks, some are 
double. Some are button and tab selections and in two or three places
you may have to type some characters.

- my computer 
- control panel
- view
- properties
- file types
- new type
- description of  type  enter  'Brana files'
- associated extension enter  'hed'
- new
- action  enter  'open'
- program enter 'c:\brana90\brana90.exe'
-ok
-ok
-close

when you click on  attached mail with 'hed' extension the system will
be forced to call brana.
