Installation

Please unzip the distributed ZIP package into an arbitrary folder and double-click on the executable file, or create a shortcut icon on the desktop. That's ordinarily all you have to do to run the programs except two of them, SuperCon 2000 and ShadeMagic, that require ActiveX controls to be installed in advance.

Depending on the Windows environment, you may have to copy Visual Basic (VB) runtime driver "msvbvm50.dll", as an administrator when prompted by Windows, to the following folder:

Windows 7 and later C:\Windows\SysWOW64
Windows Vista C:\Windows\System32

VB runtime driver is included in the distributed ZIP package of each program.

ActiveX Controls

SuperCon 2000 and ShadeMagic require ActiveX controls to be installed for all versions of Windows. Download Comocx.zip and unzip it into an arbitrary folder.
