Do not edit, not required!

Included programs: TUNNEL Version ?.? By: Unknown
                   LETTER Version 2.3 By: Emir Sakic

BEFORE YOU INSTALL!!!
>Make Sure you have no important pictures 1,2,3,4,5 and 7
>Make sure you don't have somthing important stored in Str0,1,2
>Back-up all files on your TI to your computer
 -Letter or TUNNEL may crash your TI!

Since this is a MUCH more advanced version of Windows, you don't have
to edit ANYTHING! There is one thing you can do... You can name a
program MYPROG, and you can run it SECURED from the programs menu in
start. (When I say SECURLY, it means that you can ONLY run it from
Windows!)
Unfortionatly due to BASIC, you have to edit ONLY ON THE CALCULATOR
PROGMAN, all you have to do is write it the name of your program.
(Don't worry...Instructions included)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LETS START!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
>First
Send GOLD.83g to your TI-83 Calculator

>Second
Run WIN98B

Now, the Windows 98 intillization program has started....
-Press enter when prompted
-Select YES on the menu

Now it prompts you to enter a 15 digit registration number.
This number is for people who might STEEL your copy of Windows 98, so
they won't be able to run WIN98B without the number.

The registration number is:

3R64IJKLP2IFI6K

Enter this CORRECTLY!
then press enter.

Now watch as the pictures are automatically set up.

Now it will prompt you for your name, enter it (the A-LOCK is auto-
matically enabled).
-Press enter

Now it will ask you to enter the serial number on the back of your
TI-83. (A 15 digit number) !!INCLUDE SPACES, AND DASHES!!

Here is the important part...Enter a 4 digit password that you WILL
remember. 
Then it will ask you to confirm it, so it makes sure you got it right.
If you did not, then it will ask you to re-enter then confirm again.

If it said "CONFIRMED" then it will automatically go to a menu.
The menu will ask you to BOOT, or EXIT.
!!It is recommended that you exit, and delete WIN98B!!

That's it!

IMPORTANT!!
~~~~~~~~~~~
If you forgot your password, then YOU are unable to do ANYTHING
about it, but I can. If you should forget you password, then e-mail me
and we will work it out over the internet, in a CLOSED manner. I will
not explain here due to security reasons.

RUNNING Windows 98 TI-83 Gold Edition Version 2.10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows version 2.10 is MUCH more BETTER then any prior version. This
program has been tested to perfection by only 3 people. So if you
should find any errors (which is unlikely), then be sure to contact me.
All routines are in proper working order. They will keep working unless
you do something that can cause somthing to operate correctly.

Well, all you have to do is run from the program menu WINDOWS.
-When you run it, a scrolling bar will go across the screen.
 >You can bypass this by pressing enter.
-It will prompt you for a password.
 >Don't get it wrong more then 3 times, or the program will lock you
  out, and you cannot run Windows. This is a security precaution for
  people who might want to break into you Windows (hi-hi). If it does
  lock you out, then contact me.
-Then a menu will pop up.
 >You can select BOOT, or SETUP, or EXIT
 ->BOOT will proceede to run Windows
 ->SETUP will take you to a screen where you can view data, or change
   your password.
 ->Exit will exit, and record the action in the BOOTLOG.
(BOOTLOG will record each time windows was started, exited, and
shutdown)

KEYS:
~~~~~
Y=: Opens/Closes the start menu
Trace: HELP SHORTCUT
Graph: EXIT Windows 98 SHORTCUT (Does not shut-down)
CLEAR: Close current Window
Up/Down arrow: Scrolls up/down (Works only in HELP Window)
1,2,3,4,5,6: Selects menu with corresponding number
ON: Breaks the Program (Don't push when SHUTTING-DOWN, TI might Crash!)

The DESKTOP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The desktop is almost the same as in versions 2.0 to 2.8, except it
shows the version.

The START menu:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same as above.

The SETTINGS menu:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Same, but when you select WINDOWS settings there is more options.

The PROGRAMS menu:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Totally different. This menu pops out, and shows all of the programs
that came with windows, which includes:

-WORDPAD
-WINCALC
-MY PROG (Your own program which you can put here)
-TUNNEL
-PROGRAM MANAGER

(All programs that came with Windows are SECURED programs. These 
programs can only be ran from Windows, and not from outside.)

MAJOR ADDITIONS:
-------------------
Windows 2.10 can:
-Run all programs listed in the programs menu.
-Adjust the trigger time for the screensver
-Choose between Auto Power Down (APD), or screensaver.
-Choose between NO APD with screensaver, or APD with screensaver.
-Change the password from inside Windows 98
-Change user info from inside Windows 98
-View instructions on how to activate name of a WINNOP function.
(WINNOP=Windows OPerational Program)

Internal workings:
--------------------
Windows 2.10 will:
-Record into the BOOTLOG when Windows starts, exits, and shutsdown.
-Hide the password you type with "*"
-APD when selected
-SCREENSAVER ADP when selected
-Propmt password EVERYTIME Windows starts.
-Use LISTS so it won't clutter strings like version 2.5

Well go ahead and explore for yourself.
Enjoy Windows 98 TI-83 Gold Edition, version 2.10

Adding your own programs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 98 runs a program called PROGMAN. This stands for Program
Manager. You can replace Program Manager with your own, or look for one
that can AUTO-DETECT, and RUN. There are some good ons at

www.ticalc.org
 
If you want to keep this one, then do the following:
>EXIT Windows 98 TI-83....
 -Assuming that you are currently running it
>Press PRGM
 -Write down all of your own programs
>Goto EDIT
 -Then EDIT "PROGMAN"
>Go to a Menu that has EMPTY written in it
 -There are four "PROGRAMS" menu, so there are a few
>REPLACE the EMPTY with your own program name
 -Remember the number after it: "YOURPRGM",#
>Find in the program the Lable corresponding to the number
 -Lbl #
>If it is a BASIC program
 -Enter in the space provided: prgmXXXXXX
>If it is a ASM
 -Enter in the space provided: Send(9XXXXXX
>Repeat until you have all programs in
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
