                        Windis: 32-bit Edition
                        ----------------------

WINDIS32 is my port of Ewan Kirk's Windis package to a native 32-bit
Windows. It was developed and tested for Windows NT (version 3.5 
Workstation using RAS PPP). I am told it also works on Win32s and 
Win95. In terms of appearance and functionality, it is almost identical 
to the 16-bit original which is the recommended option for Win 3.11/Win95 
users unless they relish a technical challenge.

Windis32 requires the file CTL3D32.DLL (Microsoft redistributable code)
to be present to provide run-time support for the '3d-effect' dialog
boxes. You may well find this is already present on your system because
it has been installed by some other application. However, if you get a
message box saying the CTL3D32.DLL could not be found, you will need to
install ONE of the files from the enclosed archive CTL3D32.ZIP. 
Unzip it (with the -d option if using PKUNZIP) and look at Readme.3d 
for more details.

Ewan Kirk and I work closely in the run-up to each Windis release to 
maintain a common source code from which both 16 and 32 bit versions are 
compiled.

Please post bug reports and/or enhancement requests to the relevant demon 
newsgroups (demon.ip.support.winsock at the moment) rather than mailing Ewan 
or me.

Known Bugs (specific to Windis 32) :-
	Finger causes a GPF when running under beta Win95 - (this may be cured 
	by the latest Win95 release - can someone let me know).

Many thanks to James Allen (james@jumbo.demon.co.uk) for producing the helpfile 
which is included with this archive here but which is entirely his work and to
John Deakin (john@humana.demon.co.uk) for producing the documentation files 
(which can be downloaded separately).

Last, but not least, a big thank you to the following for their help as 
beta-testers:-
