Instructions For Downloading And Use

Personal Computers

Each wallpaper "bitmap" is compressed as one or more "self-extracting executables" to reduce your download time.

To use the background wallpaper:

1. Click on the hot link for the version you want. When your browser asks you what you want it to do with the executable file (e.g. thrusta1.exe), save it to your hard drive.
2. Execute the file to expand it (in Windows, use the Program Manager "File, Run" facility, or double-click on the file in File Manager). This will leave a bitmap file on your hard drive (e.g. thrusta1.bmp).
3. Configure your operating system to display it as your background wallpaper:
   • Windows 3: Put the bitmap file in the C:\WINDOWS directory. Open the Windows Control Panel. Open Desktop. In the 'wallpaper' drop down list, select the bitmap file.
   • Windows 95 and NT4: Put the bitmap file in any directory. Right click on your desktop background, select Properties off the menu, select the Background tab, press the Browse button, and navigate to and select the bitmap file.
   • OS/2: Put the bitmap file in the C:\OS2\BITMAP directory. Right click on your desktop background, select Open, Settings, select the Background tab, and select the bitmap file.

Other Computers

To accomodate the requests we have received from owners of Macs and UNIX workstations, we have also loaded JPEG versions of the background "bitmaps" for you to download and convert to the appropriate format for your hardware and operating system.

To use the background wallpaper:

1. Click on the JPEG hot link for the wallpaper bitmap you want.
2. Save the image from your browser to your hard drive.
3. Convert the JPEG image to the correct format for your operating system and configure it to use the wallpaper (there are so many different ways of doing this on different machines we won't attempt to give instructions here, but please contact us at the address below if you need help).
