FIRST TRAIN FOR THE INTERNET DAY EXCURSION README

Known bugs:
----------

The graphics and opening screens will not display
properly on systems using CGA, EGA or large-font
VGA, SVGA and XGA systems.  This is due to the way
Windows Help handles graphics when large fonts are
selected, and you will find that 90 percent of
Windows help files have the same problem.  This bug
occurs on Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows 95.  We
recommend the following as a fix:

Windows 3.1/3.11:
----------------
If your main problem is the small size of icon titles,
add the following line to your WIN.INI file under the
[Desktop] section:
IconTitleSize=10
(or 12 for higher visibility; the default is 8)

You can change this line incrementally to suit.  This
should allow you to use small fonts and have better
visibility of icon titles as well as graphical
compatibility with Windows help tools.  You can also
change the font using (for example, to use the Terminal
font):
IconTitleFaceName=Terminal

Windows 95:
----------
The same applies.  It's probably the size of your Start
menu text and dialog box text that prompted you to 
select large fonts.  We recommend obtaining a program 
called TWEAKUI.EXE, one of the free "power tools" 
from Microsoft for Win95, from Microsoft's Web site or
one of several locations on the Internet.  We are not
giving the URL here since Microsoft has a habit of
changing its URLs with alarming frequency, messing
up everyone.  Instead, try a search for:

WINDOWS 95 POWERTOYS

...or...

WINDOWS 95 POWER TOYS

...using Yahoo or Webcrawler.  Many people have this
utility linked to their Web pages.

This utility may be used for fixing a lot more than
just the size of Start menu and dialog text, and if
you're a heavy Windows user you will find it
very useful.


Frequently Asked Questions:
--------------------------

"Where can I get the free software which you 
mention in First Train?"

There are several ways to obtain it.  The programs
mentioned, with very few exceptions, are widely
available on the Internet, on CompuServe, America
OnLine, and perhaps other services as well.  Check
our Internet site at:

http://www.revenue.com/first

...where you will see a link to a special page for
First Train users designed to instantly connect
you to the software.  There is also a page of
links to this software in your First Train directory
called ADDONS.HTM, but please be aware that not all these
links may be functional by the time you get a
chance to use the software.  At the time this
README was written, there were no known links
available for the Internet Lexicon or Faros
Uninstaller on the Internet.

To use this page, simply load it into your Web
browser while you are connected to the Internet.

"Where can I find more information on First Train?"

Consult the catalog for info. on ordering and other
versions of this product.

"What should I do if it stops working properly?"

Re-installation of the software should solve 95
percent of all problems experienced with this package.
There is always the possibility that some part of this
package will be incompatible with some component of
your system.

One particular problem you may experience is not being
able to see hotspots on your monitor in color.  Some
video cards do not display Windows Help hotspots properly
at resolutions higher than 256 colors.  Reduce your color
depth and this should solve the problem.

Another problem you may experience is a corrupted WIN.INI
or SYSTEM.INI file.  This can result from any number of
things and is best dealt with by making regular backups
of your system configuration files.  (See the Insurance
and Medical section for more information.)
