This is a SHAREWARE product. That means we would like you to
pass around unregistered copies to other people. If you have
a modem, please upload it to your favourite bulletin board
system, or give a copy to a friend who you think might need
a program like this. Shareware means sharing! Pass it on!

--------------------------
SHAREWARE AND REGISTRATION
--------------------------
This version of Sapphire is distributed as shareware. With respect to Sap-
phire, "shareware" means that you may try out the program for 99 days
without paying for it. If you continue to use it after that time, though,
you are indicating that the product fulfils your needs and as such you are
legally required to register it ($45).
However, if you feel that after 99 days you have not had sufficient
opportunity to evaluate the product, please contact us (see cover page for
numbers and addresses) and we will grant you the right to continue to use
the product. (It is not our policy to turn down such requests, but you are
legally obliged to let us know if you require the additional time.) When
you call, we will also be able to tell you about new developments for
Sapphire and other products.
When you register Sapphire, you gain the following benefits:
- A disk containing the most recent version of Sapphire available
- The "Program under evaluation" message disappears from your BBS
- You get bonus software sent along with the registered Sapphire
- You get privileged access to our free files BBS
- You get privileged access to our voice support line
- You get unscheduled news mailings and software samples
- You get access to Sapphire source code (extra fees may apply here)
Shareware terms do not extend to the source code of Sapphire, nor to later
versions, nor accessories, unless they are declared as shareware by
Pinnacle Software.
Prices and terms are subject to change without notice. When ordering,
please make sure that you have the latest pricing information. If you have
the latest version, this will be reflected in the order form (which you can
view or print via SYSOP:INFO:ORDER). The shareware terms for a particular
version are considered a negotiated agreement, providing the user with
agreed value for agreed price.

a Trademark of Borland International. DSZ is a Trademark of Omen
Technology.

SUPPORT FOR REGISTERED SYSOPS
-----------------------------
The Sapphire release number follows this pattern:
Version Number Correction Level
\ /

Upgrade Level Internal ID
A registered Sapphire owner is entitled to operate any release of Sapphire
with the same Version and Upgrade Level, and the same or different Internal
ID or Correction Level. Thus, corrections to the program ("bug fixes") can
be obtained at no cost by downloading them from our support board, or for a
$3 shipping fee, by mail.
---------------------------------
INSTALLATION AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
---------------------------------
For complete information about installation and trouble-shooting, refer to
SYSOP:INFO:MANUAL (i.e. the MANUAL subsection of the INFO section of the
SYSOP utility that accompanies Sapphire -- type SYSOP at the DOS prompt to
begin). The information there can be viewed online or printed.
If you are installing Sapphire for the first time, you may call Pinnacle
Software for assistance if you can not complete the basic installation
successfully. But you may be able to save yourself time and long-distance
charges: experience has shown us that 90% of all installation problems can
be solved by the advice in the trouble-shooting guide (refer to SYSOP:INFO:
MANUAL:TROUBLE).
-------------------------------
UPGRADING FROM EARLIER VERSIONS
-------------------------------
Refer to SYSOP:INFO:MANUAL:INSTALL for instructions for upgrading from
earlier versions of Sapphire.
