Program:        NCT-Min NetCom Timer for NetCruiser or Win95 Dial-Up to NetCom
Version:        1.01 ( UnRegistered Shareware 32 Bit Version for Win95)
Date:           1/10/96
Author:         Michael Krane


This is the 32 Bit Version designed specifically for Win 95


Also: This program needs the file vb40032.dll and the other 32 bit runtime files that come with it. (Usually it should be in your Windows System Directory) It does not come with this program because most people will already have it and it takes too long to download. If you don't have it, you will need to download it to use this program and the many other Visual Basic Programs that are available. (I'm sure it's on the internet, but I have no idea where.) (If on AOL, Search AOL software libraries for vb40032.dll)

Run the nct-min.hlp file for all the program info.



Installation:
I added an automatic Install script for Win95.
It is very basic. I decided not to add a full install program due to disk space/download time, etc.. If the default settings work for you then the automatic install is good. If you don't want the default settings as described below, then just don't use the automatic install.

If Upgrading:
Exit any existing version of NCT-min. Delete the old files if you want and then install as below. (Automatic install will overwrite old automatically installed files if still in their original locations.)

Limitations of the Automatic Install:
Automatic install will not give you any options. It will create and copy the files to the c:\program files\nct-min directory. It will create a shortcut folder and the shortcut on your start menu. It will add a Remove Program option for nct-min in the control panel add/remove programs. The Remove option will not delete the nct-min directory but will delete all the files. If you move the files or the shortcut to different locations, the program will still operate correctly, but the un-install won't be able to remove the files that were moved.


Automatic Install:
Open an explorer window.
Right Click on the nct-min.inf file.
Select "Install"
It should automatically create directory and copy the files to c:\program files\nct-min
It should create a shortcut group on your start menu called NCT-min with the NCT-min shortcut there.
It should add NCT-min to the control panel add/remove programs tab for automatic uninstall.
It should run the NCT-min.hlp file for you to review.
To uninstall, Start control panel add/remove programs, select NCT-min and click the remove button. It will remove the files from the c:\program files\NCT-min directory, remove the shortcut from the start menu, and delete the NCT-min.ini file. (If you may want to use NCT-min again later, then make a copy of the NCT-min.ini that is in your Windows directory.)

If the Install Script does not work correctly or you just prefer to put the files where you want, then use the manual install below:

Manual Install:
There really is no installation needed; Just run the file NCT-min.exe.
Put the file NCT-min.exe in any directory you want. If you want the help file handy for reference then put NCT-min.hlp in the same directory. Make a shortcut for NCT-min.exe if you want one. If you have dial-up networking for NetCom set-up, (See the NCT-min.hlp file), make a shortcut with the command line "nct-min.exe dial" also. That's it! 
To uninstall, just delete those files plus the NCT-min.ini file from your windows directory.
(Auto Uninstall not available if you manually install.)

Any problems, look in the NCT-min.hlp file


Using the Program:

Just run NCT-min.exe instead of the normal netcruz.exe to start NetCruiser. nct-min will automatically find and run NetCruiser. NCT-Min will start up near the top-left of your screen and stay on top so you can always see it. NCT-min normally has just 3 buttons, "U" for UP, "D" for Down, and the Timer display. The buttons react to right and left clicks. Read the nct-min.hlp file for details.

(You can also start NCT-min after connected if desired.)

Click anywhere on the running NCT-min display, then hit F1 key to bring up the help file reference.
