                     WinRamp Lite 1.21
     * Your Personal Access to the Data Super-Highway *

   This README.1ST file contains important information that
   will make your installation so much easier if you read it
   (Really!). Do yourself a big favour .. go ahead, read it
   and make YOUR day!

1. THANK YOU FOR TRYING WinRamp Lite.
   First off, the folks at Vironix NA would like to thank
   you for taking the time to download WinRamp Lite! We're
   sure you will find the application a worthwhile addition
   to your software collection.


2. NB! UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WINRAMP LITE
   If you have been running a previous version of WinRamp
   Lite (i.e. 1.00b, 1.01, 1.1 or 1.11) just prior to
   installing this new version, AND you have not closed down
   Windows since running the old version, it is highly
   likely that the WINRAMP.FON file is still in memory and
   may be locked.

   Version 1.2x added a number of new VTxxx emulation
   character sets to the WINRAMP.FON, so to use these new
   character sets the file  must be upgraded. It is
   recommended that you first restart Windows. This will
   release the font file and allow the installation
   procedure to automatically upgrade to the new updated
   font file.

3. AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL DISTRIBUTION ARCHIVE.
   The original distribution archives (either RMP121.ZIP or
   WRAMP121.ZIP) were compressed with PkWare's PKZIP
   Authentic Verification feature. If you obtained an
   archive without the -AV, it is possible that some
   installation files could be missing. Should your
   installation fail, please obtain the original archive.
   This can definitely be found on Compuserve in the
   WINSHARE and IBMCOM forums and The WinRamp Support BBS at
   1-508-373-3336, or on the ftp.vironix.com (or
   ftp.vironix.co.za) anonymous ftp site.
   
5. INSTALLATION NOTES.
   We *highly* recommend that you run the INSTALL.EXE
   program to assist with the installation. The install
   program will take care of all the details such as
   registering the WINRAMP font file with Font Manager.

   Most of the files within the RMP121.ZIP or WRAMP121.ZIP
   archive are compressed to save space on your drive after
   installation. You can delete these files after
   installation, however if you do this, we recommend you
   keep the original distribution archive. The EXTRACT.EXE
   utility included with the original distribution archive
   can be used to decompress any distribution file when
   required.

   IF you choose NOT to use the Installation program (we do
   NOT recommend this), remember to register the file
   WINRAMP.FON with the Font Manager (in Control Panel).
   WinRamp's terminal emulations will be severely limited if
   this is not done.

   If the Installation fails for some reason, please be sure
   to check the text file PACKING.LST to make sure that you
   have all the files necessary to run WinRamp Lite.
   PACKING.LST includes the addresses to online locations
   where you can be sure to obtain the original WinRamp Lite
   archive.

6. WINRAMP USER GUIDE & WR-SCRIPT REFERENCE GUIDE.
   As of this Version 1.21, the WinRamp User Guide and
   WR-Script Reference are no longer included with the
   SHAREWARE main distribution file set. Both manuals, in
   the Windows Write format, can be downloaded from the
   WinRamp Support BBS or by anonymous ftp from
   ftp.vironix.com (or ftp.vironix.co.za). The file to
   download/ftp is WR12DOCS.ZIP

7. RIPSCRIP ICONS.
   If you will be accessing Online Systems that support the
   graphical emulation standard RIPScrip 1.x, and you do NOT
   yet have any RIP Icon files on your hard-drive, you MUST
   extract (using PkWare's PKUNZIP) the archive file
   RIPICONS.ZIP into the following directory:

   <drive and WinRamp Lite directory>\RIP\ICONS

   If you already have a collection of RIP Icons files from
   a different application, you may rather wish to set up
   the WinRamp Lite RIP Terminal emulation to "point" to
   these existing icons.

8. REVISION HISTORY.
   All changes and revisions have been recorded within the
   Online Help file, and within the REVISION.121 text file.

Thanks once again for trying Winramp Lite!
