WINDOWS 95/98

1) Click the icon below to download WinZip. Select "Open this file" (as opposed to save to disk), if asked. (If Winzip is already installed on your computer, you can skip to step 3.)
2) Just follow the instructions that appear (if asked, make the 'wizard' interface the default, not the 'classic') and close the program when you are finished.
3) Click the hyperlink (at bottom) to download VBART6D.ZIP
4) Select "Open this file" (as opposed to save to disk), if asked.
5) Just keep clicking through all the 'next' buttons, except at one other point -- Winzip will ask where to unzip the files. I recommend once to the Desktop (C:\windows\desktop) and once to a floppy diskette.

Follow the same basic steps to install VBART6S.ZIP on the Desktop (The setup program will offer to install in the c:\Program Files\Eval7 folder -- I recommend changing it to install in c:\windows\desktop\vbart6.) After installation, these files (Eval1.exe - Eval7.exe & Help.avi) will all fit on a floppy diskette, but they may not run other computers that have not been 'installed.'

WINDOWS XP (NT/2000?)

I recently tested all of the above under Windows XP and had to make the following changes:
1) I didn't need Winzip.  WinXP handled the unzipping by itself, but it didn't automatically run the setup.exe in VBART6S.ZIP, so I had to download the files to a temporary folder first, then run setup.exe myself to install everything into the VBART6 folder.
2) Don't unzip\install to a folder on the Desktop.  The Desktop folder is no longer located at c:\windows\desktop in WinXP.  There is now a folder at c:\Documents and Settings\ that contains a folder for each user.  Each user's folder contains a Desktop subfolder.  Since the c:\Documents and Settings\ folder has such a long name that also contains spaces, it causes an error in the multimedia features of the Eval7 Demo 5 and Sample Solution programs.  They are unable to locate *.avi and *.wav files that are placed in the same folder.  (This probably happens because a 16-bit API call is made, for those who are interested in such matters.)  I'll work on a long-term solution for this, but in the meantime I suggest that you install everything in a folder that has a short path with no spaces, e.g. c:\vbart6
