Conditions:
Basic condition is an installation of AutoCAD R14 or 2000.
Applying this software within former AutoCAD releases probably does not succeed completely and has not been tested.
In order to display the help files you need a browser;
PNG images are supported e. g. by Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 4.0 and higher.
 
Simple load for temporary use:
The AutoCAD "appload" command can be used to load "Tailors/Tailors.lsp"; in AutoCAD 2000 "Tailors/Tailors.vlx" is a faster alternative.
But "appload" neither creates a toolbar, nor inserts a menu section, nor makes the help files accessible directly. The functions have to be issued by entering their names on the keyboard. Depending on the "preferences" settings, "appload" remains in effect only during the current AutoCAD session or as long as the current drawing is open.
 
Permanent installation,
1st step:
Copy the "Tailors" directory to a place where AutoCAD can find it.
 
You are provided with information about possible places by the AutoCAD 14 "preferences" command or by the AutoCAD 2000 "options" command
  (last item of the "Tools" menu);
"Files" tab, click on the plus sign standing before "Support File Search Path".
Now you may copy "Tailors" into one of the directories listed, or you may also define a new path
  ("Add" button, "Browse" button).
Note that not the "Tailors" directory itself but its parent directory should become a valid search directory.
 
2nd step:
Enable access to the "Tailors" toolbar.
 
In order to do this, invoke the AutoCAD "menuload" command
  ("Tools" menu, "Customize Menus..." item, "Menu Group" tab).
Load the "Tailors.mns" file from the "Tailors/English" subdirectory
  ("Browse" button, "Load" button, "Close" button).
This should have established the "Tailors" toolbar. If not, use the AutoCAD "toolbar" command
  (last item of the "View" menu);
under the "Tailors" menu group this toolbar should be marked for being displayed.
 
Pull-down menu:
If you wish to have a "Tailors" menu bar section, the "menuload" dialog box will be suitable again
  ("Menu Bar" tab).
 
Uninstall:
The AutoCAD commands mentioned may also be used to uninstall "Tailors".
Before deleting a support file search path make sure that AutoCAD does not need to find another application on this path.
 

 
Since AutoCAD has to be able to find all files needed, you should not rename the "Tailors" directory!
 

 
Contents:
Tailors (71 files, 5 subdirectories)
    Deutsch (12 files, 1 subdirectory)
        Hilfe (7 files, no subdirectory)
        LiesMich.html
        LiesMich.txt
        Schneiderei.dcl
        Schneiderei.mnl
        Schneiderei.mns
    English (12 files, 1 subdirectory)
        Help (7 files, no subdirectory)
        ReadMe.html
        ReadMe.txt
        Tailors.dcl
        Tailors.mnl
        Tailors.mns
    Images (42 files, no subdirectory)
    License.txt
    Tailors.fas
    Tailors.lsp
    Tailors.prv
    Tailors.vlx
 
If loading is successful AutoCAD automatically will generate two additional files named "Tailors.mnc" and "Tailors.mnr".
It is not necessary to copy these files when redistributing this software; but all of the files and subdirectories mentioned above have to be included in the "Tailors" directory.
