NCG Clicker for Win32 Version 2.0A Beta 3 Release Notes
October 9, 1996

----------------------------------------------------------------
Special Beta 3 Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
You must run NCGCLICK.EXE (placed in your startup folder) at
least once before you can use the Mouse control panel to select
settings for Clicker.

Clicker now supports application-specific settings for 16-bit
applications under Windows 95.

This is beta software. Not everything works. In particular:

-- The focus control items don't work properly
-- Drag-lock works differently than you may be expecting. Use
   the triggering event (such as a middle button click) to start
   the drag, but use the left button to drop the dragged item.

Feel free to let me know about anything else you find that
doesn't work correctly. In particular, I am interested in reports
of failure for the tab pages to appear on the Mouse control panel
after installation on Windows 95 or NT 4.0.

About NCG Clicker for Win32
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 2.0A Beta 3 of NCG Clicker for Win32, a mouse-button
utility for Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT version 4.0.

Clicker lets you assign a number of different functions
to the middle and right buttons of your mouse or trackball; buttons
modified by the control, alt and shift keys on the keyboard; and
"chords" created by pressing two mouse buttons simultaneously. You
can assign different settings for different applications

Clicker is freeware. You may distribute Clicker freely, as long
as you include these release notes in unmodified form. Clicker is
copyright (c) 1996 Nemesis Consulting Group.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------
Clicker 2.0A Beta 3 requires Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95
because it installs as a control panel "shell extension". The
beta supports only Intel platform machines.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Running Clicker
----------------------------------------------------------------
When you run Clicker 2.0 for the first time, you won't see anything.
The program NCGCLICK.EXE will run invisibly in the background. You
must have this program running for Clicker to work.

Open the Mouse control panel (Start / Settings / Control Panel / Mouse)
and you should see two new tabs added: "Clicker General" and 
"Clicker Button Functions".

The "Clicker General" tab contains two sections. The first section, 
General Information, will tell you whether or not Windows thinks
you have a middle button on your mouse, and whether NCGCLICK.EXE is
running.

If your mouse has a middle button, but Clicker says "Middle mouse
button not detected", you have a problem with your mouse driver or
driver configuration. This will need to be corrected before Clicker can
provide programming for the middle button.

The button labeled "Stop Clicker" or "Start Clicker" allows you to stop
and start Clicker on the fly. You'll want to make sure you stop
Clicker before installing a new version of the software, for example.

The Focus Control section allows you to set UNIX/X-Windows-like
focus behavior. This does not work completely or correctly in 2.0A
Beta 3.
 
The "Button Functions" tab lets you assign functions to the following
events:

- Unmodified middle and right button (same as the basic dialog)
- Shift key plus middle and right buttons
- Alt key plus middle and right buttons
- Control key plus middle and right buttons
- Left and middle button "chord"
- Middle and right button "chord"
- Left and right button "chord"

You can assign the following functions to any of the above events:

- Double-click
- Close application
- Maximize
- Minimize
- Restore
- Show task list
- Cut
- Copy
- Paste
- Enter
- Backspace
- Delete
- Escape
- Undo
- Page Up
- Page Down
- F1 through F12
- Send window to back
- AutoCad Zoom Window
- AutoCad Zoom Previous
- Spacebar
- Numeral 1
- Numeral 2
- Tab
- Drag-lock

You can assign functions to events for all Windows programs that
run by using the "(Global Settings)" entry in the Applications list.
You can override these settings for specific programs by adding these
programs to the list. The "Add ..." button will bring up a standard
Windows file selection dialog. Select the application you wish to add
and click the "OK" button to add it to the list. You can then set
the functions that will be performed when that program receives events.
By default, new programs added to the list start with a copy of the
current global settings.

You can add up to 200 application entries to the list.

Once you have selected the button assignments you want and hit enter,
the selections are stored in the Windows registry.

The registry values are under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Nemesis Consulting Group\Clicker. There is a set of 11 registry values
for the global settings. For each application-specific setting, there
is a registry subkey and set of 11 values as well.

Since the values are stored under HKEY_CURRENT_USER, each user will
have their own Clicker settings.
