USING VFKB-PR1.EXE


 * 1) Place VFKB-PR1.EXE in the directory that you want to contain the Help

file. 2. From a command prompt, run VFKB-PR1.EXE to uncompress (extract) it. When uncompressed, this file creates the following files:

VFKB-PR1.HLP The Help file VFKB-PR1.IDX The Index for the Help file SOURCES.TXT Other Sources of Microsoft Support Information README.TXT   This file FTENGINE.DLL System File Needed for Full-Text Search Capabilities FTUI.DLL    System File Needed for Full-Text Search Capabilities MVAPI.DLL   System File Needed for Full-Text Search Capabilities If your Windows SYSTEM directory does not already contain the three .DLL

files listed above, or if they have older file dates than the ones extracted from VFKB-PR1.EXE, place the three new .DLL files in your Windows SYSTEM directory.

Notes About the Size of VFKB-PR1.EXE

VFKB-PR1.EXE contains a Help file for Windows 3.x systems. In order for Windows 3.x Help to perform a full-text search, an index (.IDX) file is needed. This index file is usually larger than the Help file (.HLP) itself. This means that VFKB-PR1.EXE, which contains both the .HLP AND the .IDX file, may be quite large.

However, a Windows 95 (and Windows NT 3.51) Help file does not require an index file to perform full-text searches, and therefore the self-extracting file containing it is much smaller than its Windows 3.1 counterpart. For the Windows 95 Help file containing the same Knowledge Base articles, obtain VFKB-PRG.EXE.
