- --Documentation (read this before using CZ)
-
- The documentation is online in the CZ.COM/CZ.HLP files. To get started just
- make sure CZ.HLP is in the current directory and load CZ:
-
- C>cz
-
- It can also be loaded high but make sure you have at least 15K of UMB space.
- It will load high in as little as 4.5K but will not operate correctly in UMB
- without at least 15K. Check out the Using_CZ in the TUTORIAL_INDEX--press
- Alt-F1 to hotkey into CZ. Press END (cursor moves to TUTORIAL_INDEX). Press
- ENTER. Move the cursor to under Starting_CZ. Press ENTER. Use the END/ENTER
- combo to continue until you get the idea. A mouse makes using CZ even easier.
-
- If you want to have a hardcopy of the CZ.HLP use the HLP2TXT.EXE program to
- strip off the header info. Load it into your favorite WP or text editor.
-
- This package is documentation/source-specific to QuickBASIC 4.5 and BASIC 7 in
- that much of the source examples deal with using BULLET under these compilers.
- Because of this, this version is called BLTQ18.ZIP. The C-specific version is
- called BLTC18.ZIP (available now). The BULLET.LIB files are identical, only the
- documentation differs. Note that a C example source file and the C header file
- for BULLET is included in this version.
-
-
- --Installation
-
- BULLET comes with the BULLET.LIB in compressed form (BULLET.LI_). It must be
- installed using the INSTALL.EXE program. INSTALL performs one function: it
- decompresses BULLET.LI_ (to BULLET.LIB) and writes installation information
- to the BULLET.LIB file. It does nothing else.
-
- To install:
-
- C>install
-
- The installation process asks two questions and then decompresses the file so
- that BULLET.LIB is ready for use. BULLET.LIB is fully-functional and not
- crippled. You may use BULLET.LIB and the BULLET package for evaluation only and
- for an evaluation period not to exceed 21 days from the date of installation.
- BULLET.LIB works with just about every DOS compiler on the market. Check the
- !WHATIS.TXT file for more information. Also read the !Q&A.TXT file. Be sure to
- load up CZ, too.
-
-
- --Registration
-
- BULLET is a shareware product. This means that you may try BULLET during the
- evaluation period free of obligation. However, you may not use BULLET after
- this evaluation period without registering--you must purchase a license to
- use BULLET if you wish to continue to use BULLET or any programs produced with
- BULLET. See the !ORDER.FRM for ordering information by check, cash, or money
- order. Use !ORDER.CC for ordering by credit card.

-
- --Upgrades and Updates, Site licensing
-
- All updates and upgrades are available from the support BBS free-of-charge.
- See the PRODUCT_SUPPORT heading under TUTORIAL_INDEX in CZ for more.
-
- Site licensing is available at reasonable rates. Contact me for details.
-
-
- --Distribution
-
- BBS Sysops may carry BULLET on their BBS provided that all files listed in
- the !PACKLST.TXT file are included in the archive. This file must be provided
- free of charge, i.e., this file cannot placed in an area that requires users
- to pay a fee for per-file download. A general subscription fee BBS is exempt
- from this limitation, provided that no specific charge is assessed to this
- particular file.
-
- Shareware distributors/catalog vendors may carry BULLET on their inventory
- provided that: the BULLET package be the only software on the diskette, that
- it be made clear that the purchase of the disk does not constitute purchase
- of the product, and that no charge greater than a reasonable amount for
- distribution services be charged (for example, not more than 5 dollars).
- CD-ROM vendors may include BULLET and may charge more than $5 for the CD,
- provided that the CD is not for the sole or primary purpose of distributing
- Bullet.
-
- Only the shareware version of Bullet may be distributed without explicit
- permission from the author.
-
- In any case, the author of BULLET may at anytime request (and must be granted)
- that the BULLET package be no longer advertised/distributed in the vendors
- catalog and that within a reasonable time after request, advertising of BULLET
- will end (within 6 months and distribution will end immediately). (Basically,
- this means that you as a shareware vendor may include BULLET in your
- advertising/distributing but that that I, as the author and owner of BULLET,
- have the option of having you stop advertising/distributing BULLET, for
- whatever reason (such as it becoming a non-shareware commercial product).)
