Defect Reporting: email - support@dadaware.com Be sure to describe the problem in as much detail as possible, what events led up to the problem, if it is repeatable. Installing Embellish ------------------------- OS/2: If installing from CD-ROM, go to the OS2 directory and run install. Win95: If installing from CD-ROM, go to the WIN95 directory and run setup. Because of the way Windows handles file associations (the .bmp like extension of file names), the installation for Embellish is broken into 2 parts. The first is accomplished by the setup.exe command. After running this, Embellish can be run and is fully functional. However Embellish will not be associated with any of the graphics files it can read. When a program is associated with a file extension, the program's icon will be shown when you view the file's icon and the program will be launched when the user double clicks on the file's icon. We do this 2 part install because you may want to keep files associated with an image viewer, a web browser or whatever. If you decide that you do want the file's associated with Embellish, run the program regsetup.exe after installing Embellish (it will be in the same directory as Embellish). Read the instructions it provides and be sure to not to destroy the backup file it creates. This file is needed if you ever want to uninstall Embellish. If the files are downloaded or from floppy disks, run the commands listed above but do not change to the specified directory first. Un-Installing Embellish ------------------------- OS/2: Run INSTALL.EXE (which is included on the first disk or CDROM) to uninstall Embellish. When running install, choose 'Delete and reinstall'. Select the Embellish component to delete. After the deletion has occured, the install program will prompt you about re-installing. At this point exit the install procedure and Embellish will have been removed. Win95: Double-Click on the 'My Computer' icon. In the folder that is displayed, find 'Control Panel' and Double-Click. Choose 'Add/Remove Programs' and Double-Click. Look for the Embellish entry in the listbox, select it and choose remove. If you did the file association (regsetup) mentioned in the install section, you will need to run it again before you perform the normal un-install.

The manual section on use of the Clone tool is incorrect, refer to the online documentation instead. 2.
