Inner-Net version 1.3 Copyright(c)1994,95 Jim Runkel
Inner-Net is a ground-breaking network communications program for
Windows which enables group discussions from each user's desktop.
Inner-Net allows instant conversation without the complexities of
an inner-office telephone conference call. Users can create their
own "channel" and converse in seperate groups if preferred.
Inner-Net Requirements:
- Any network that allows users to read/write to a common directory.
- Microsoft Windows
- VBRUN300.DLL in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory.
(If you do not have it, you can download it from just about any
online service or BBS.)
HOW TO INSTALL:
Copy INNERNET.EXE to your Windows directory (i.e. C:\windows )
or its own directory on your local hard drive. Copy INNERNET.HLP
to your Windows directory. Copy PICCLIP.VBX to your WINDOWS\SYSTEM\
directory. Start Windows- and from within the Program manager
select FILE-NEW from the pull-down menu. Click on BROWSE and find
the INNERNET.EXE, click on it and hit OK. Select OK again, and the
Inner-Net icon should be added to your current windows group. The
first time you selecting the Inner-Net icon, you will be sent
automatically into the SETUP screen for the initial program settings.
This SETUP screen can be re-entered at any time in the future to
modify your settings.
NOTE:
If you are running Windows itself from a single network directory,
you will need to put the EXE file anywhere on the local drive.
Each station running Inner-Net will automatically create an
INNERNET.INI file that stores the setup information. That file
will be placed in the same directory as the INNERNET.EXE file.
You must have VBRUN300.DLL in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory.
If you do not have it, you can download it from just about any
online service or BBS.
See the ONLINE HELP for troubleshooting tips and tricks.

The Shareware Concept
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are
expected to register. Individual programs differ on details - some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial
period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to
continue using the software to an updated program and the next program
upgrade.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
cases, there are good programmers and bad ones!) The main difference is
in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right
to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee
- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
