  17                        About DLLMerge
  18
  19 The '!DLLs' resource folder contains libraries which can be
  20 shared by applications, thus saving memory.  When new or
  21 updated libraries become available, you will need to add
  22 these to your DLLs resource.  The DLLMerge application
  23 helps you do this quickly and easily.
  24
  25 When new libraries are made available, they will be
  26 supplied in a DLLs resource.  If you don't have one yet,
  27 just copy the one supplied.  Otherwise, you'll need to
  28 merge the new one with your current 'master' DLLs resource.
  29
  30 When you set up your master DLLs resource, you should put
  31 it with your System resource, either on your hard disk or
  32 the same floppy disk as the System resource.
  33
  34 To update your DLLs resource, double click on the DLLMerge
  35 application.  A dialogue box (see figure 1) will appear
  36 on the screen.

  48
  49 The top area shows you the filenames of the DLLs resources,
  50 as confirmation.  The bottom half of the dialogue box shows
  51 a prompt guiding you through the merge procedure.
  52
  53 To actually perform the merge, proceed as follows:
  54
  55 * Drag your Master DLLs resource, from your hard disk or
  56   System floppy, to the dialogue box.  The full pathname of
  57   the resource appears in the display area labelled 'Master
  58   !DLLs' as confirmation.
  59
  60 * Drag the new DLLs resource, containing new and updated
  61   libraries you want to add to your Master resource, to the
  62   dialogue box.  The pathname of the resource appears in
  63   the display area labelled 'New !DLLs' as confirmation.
  64
  65 DLLMerge will then perform the merge.  If all went well, a
  66 message 'DLLs folder updated successfully' is displayed,
  67 and the new libraries are immediately available for use --
  68 you do NOT have to reset your computer.
  69
  70 If an error occurred (e.g. 'Disc full' or 'Protected
  71 disc'), it is reported in a dialogue box.  You should try
  72 to rectify the problem and then restart the merge
  73 procedure.
