Notes for Windows 98 Users
==========================
-IAN! idallen@ncf.ca

The textbook for DAT2333 Fall 2000 is "Advanced Windows 95".  Those of
you using Windows 98 will not be able to do some of the tutorial steps
exactly as written in the book.

Here is a partial set of notes for Windows 98 users:

Tutorial 5
----------

Viewing the Files on a Startup Disk p.193 

    Your start-up disk won't look at all like what you see in the text.  
    Look at this web page:

	http://www.microsoft.com/technet/Win98/Reskit/Part7/wrkappb.asp

    At the bottom of the page is a heading "The Windows 98 Startup Disk"
    that explains the contents of your startup disk and how it differs
    from the Win95 startup disk.

Testing a Startup Disk p.196

    Since Win98 uses a RAMdisk for startup, you will see a menu of
    startup choices before you get to the usual DOS prompt.

Using the Print Troubleshooter p.202-210

    The help files changed under Win98.  The figures in this section of
    the text don't match.  You can print a test page by going to Start |
    Settings | Printers and right-clicking on the name of a printer and
    choosing Properties.  A button in the General tab will let you print
    a test page.  

LPT1

    p.218 You may not see a "Device usage" section under Win98.
    p.219 You need to click on "Driver File Details" to see the list of
    drivers for the hardware.

Tutorial 6
----------

    p.229 The Find dialog box is slightly different.

Tutorial 7
----------

The order of dialog boxes has changed under Windows 98.  Review the changes
here as you work through the tutorial.

Starting Microsoft Backup p.273-274

    p.273 You may be asked if you have any backup devices attached.
    You should click on "NO".

    p.273-74 The dialog boxes are different.  When the Backup Wizard
    dialog box open ("Welcome to Microsoft Backup"), select "Back
    up selected files..." and then "Next".  You will see a dialog box
    similar to Figure 7-9.  Follow the directions under "Selecting the
    Files to Back Up".

Specifying the Destination Drive p.277-278

    p.277 When you select the "Next" button in Step 1, you will have
    a choice.  Select "All selected files".

    p.278 In the dialog box that begins with "Where to back up", select
    the folder icon to the right of the *.qic file name to generate
    a dialog box similar to Figure 7-13.  Use the drop-down menu list
    to select the A: drive and change the *.qic name according to the
    directions for your assignment.

    When the name is correct, close the dialog box.  The "Where to back
    up" file name should now read something like "A:\MyBackup.qic".
    (The exact name depends on what you set it to be.)

    Select "Next".

    You will be presented with some options in a dialog box that begins "How
    to back up".  Select both options (Compare and Compress).

    Select "Next".

Saving a Backup Selection in a File Set p.278-279

    There is no "File" menu.  The Wizard will present you with some
    options in a dialog box that begins "Name the backup job".  Follow the
    naming convention given on p.279.

Specifying Backup Options p.279-281

    You already did this in the "How to back up" dialog box.  You can change
    the options by using the menu item Job | Options.

    Click "Start" to begin the backup.

Here are the differences in how things are named again:

   Win98: Where to back up
   Win95: Backup Set Label (p.280)
      - this names the backup output file
      - file name extension will be .qic

   Win98: Name the backup job
   Win95: Saving a Backup Selection (p.278)
      - this names the rules and options used to make the above file, so 
        you can use the same rules again without retyping them
      - file name extension will be .set
