What is Stationery?

Stationery is a function of Mircosoft's Outlook Express. It adds a personalized touch to your email. To use Stationery in OE5 Go under Message\New Message Using...\ and then select the Stationery you want to apply or choose "Select Stationery" to pick a stationery not listed.

The Image stopped scrolling... what gives?

The VBScript that causes the image to scroll is set to stop scrolling when you click on the message with the mouse... when writing your message, it is easier to use the tab key to move around

I can't get AdStat to run when I'm in Outlook Express (OE)!!!!
AdStat is a stand alone program. Run from your start menu, make your stationery, and then load it under OE.

I can only use the Drive selection Box.... i.e. I can only pick C:\ or D:\ etc., etc.!!!!
The boxes under the image and sound tabs are standard Drive, Folder, and file selection boxes.... select the drive you want, then go to the middle box and select the folder you want, then select the bottom box and pick the file you want.

Can I see my image full size?
Yes, simply double click on the smaller image under the image tab.

I am getting (error) when I try to install your program!!!
You have a corrupted file, simply re - download the file.

When I open the stationery, it is tiled across the screen not scrolling... what's up?
When OE first loads the stationery, it does not activate the Script..... but it is there. Go ahead and write out your message and send it. It will scroll. If you are in doubt, send yourself a test message.

How do I save stationery?
The short answer is.... you can't. But you can save a copy of the email with the stationery on it in a folder. And when you want to use that stationery, just forward the message (Remove all the old text first) with your new message!

I downloaded the program from {insert other place here} and it is only 52k and when I run the EXE I get a missing file error.

I changed the file that was linked to my personal web page from the install version of the program to just the program files need to run it. This was for two reasons.

Size! I pay for my personal web space out of my own pocket. And since WOW was released (late Feb 2001) it was been downloaded over 20,000 times (as of 08 June 2001)! And at 1.5 mbs a download, I was getting slammed.
Need! Most people already had the VB 6 runtime files need for WOW to run, so why download them again? (over 1.4 mbs in size)

If you need the runtime files, you can download the install version of the program from this website. Or one of these links:

Where can I get new gamesets?

From this site in the download section. These are G rated gamesets and are safe for everyone to play. More matured gamesets will be housed on my personal site... NOT HERE.

Where can I get the program to create my own gamesets?

The game set creator was included with the file you downloaded. If you downloaded the larger file (1.5 mbs) and installed the program, the game set creator can be found in the same folder that you installed Wow in (by default C:\Program Files\WOW) and is called WowCreate.exe. It should also be on your start menu with the same name (by default Start\Programs\Wow\WowCreate).

If you downloaded the smaller package (the program files, help files, and gameset only.. 52k), the program should be in the zip file with the same name as above.

I found this WOW32.DLL in my system and my computer won't let me delete it!?!

WOW32.DLL is Windows on Win32 and is used by your machine to run 16 bit applications on its 32 bit OS. This is an important file that is installed by Microsoft (not me) and should not be deleted.My programs DO NOT add extra DLL's or registry entries to your machine.

Why did you move the pages here and where can I find the old pages?
After several insulting emails telling me that they couldn't (not wouldn't, but couldn't) use my program because of the adult related material on my home pages I got a bit upset. One email asked why I couldn't just put it on a nice Christian page? Well that is because I am not Christian! I am Wiccan. And to boot I am a person who is mature enough to know how to avoid things I find offensive to me and not make everyone's life hell for it. You may not find erotic music, stories, images, and themes to your liking that's fine, but there was nothing on my pages that I considered to be tasteless! And all material that MIGHT offend is behind links that are very clear as to their destination.
As to where my pages are. Well, I will not put a hard link to them here, for I am sure Xoom/Tripod has some sort of rule against it. But, if you are curious to know a little more about me or my wife (who has actually been the one making these Xoom/Tripod pages for me) then please email me at adult@adlor.com and tell me how old you are and that you are requesting the URL to our home pages.

I love your programs and I want to pay you back... (yes I have received a few of these)

I did the program because I love to program and I wanted to give back to the net something that wasn't ShareWare. As a result this is freeware (as all my code is) so if you like the program, send me an example of your creation! Be it sweet or erotic or in the middle I don't care. That goes for either program I currently have up. If you must give money to someone for my humble effort, give to a Save the Rain forest group, or the homeless family down the street, or to a soup kitchen, and so ....

If your question is still unanswered please feel free to email me at adlor@adlor.com. Just please understand that it may take me a couple days to get your request answered, I seem to be rather busy these days.
