I believe that I have set this up so that it will run perfectly when you
follow the instructions that I am about to give you. The files should have
been put in the proper place by unzipping the archive file. Because I have
not figured out how to get actor to look in the path for the DLL, the
example has the vista.dll hardcoded into \actor\vpp. To change this you
would need to make one change to vistapp.cls and one to vistadb.cls. The
database is currently hardcoded into \actor\tims. To change this you would
need to make two changes to vistapp.cls.

To get this up and running, make a backup copy of your actor.exe and copy
actor.exe into the res subdirectory. Then run "rc actor". This will set up
an actor.exe that has the resources needed to run TIMS. Next start up Actor
and load "vpp.lod" and "tims.lod". (Of course you must remember to type
"load()" after each one. This will load in the class library and then the
tims code respectfully. To get it to run type these lines.

Sam := new(TimsPPApp);
init(Sam, nil);

Sam will probably need to be declared as a global variable so don't be
worried by the warning message. Just click OK.

Good luck. If you have any questions call me at (206) 562-2622.
