│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains Infodex (TM) by Stevenson Technical Services, Inc.
(STSI). This document contains only a brief description of the package
and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite
detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived
form, and is more easily read after installation.

Infodex is a shareware program. You may use it for up to 2 weeks,
without charge (see INFODEX.DOC for more details). If you like the
program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you
are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.DOC for more details).
Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
program.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for Infodex is quite simple. The package
includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
You will need about 1 megabyte of available disk space on the hard drive
on which you plan to install Infodex.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
Infodex.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
1. Place Infodex distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the appropriate
diskette drive.
2. Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution
diskette. For example, if the distribution diskette is on
drive A:, type the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program. You
will have a chance to approve installation before any changes are
actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program will
ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the Infodex files
to that directory. If you received Infodex on two diskettes, you
will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette drive when asked to do so.
If you so direct it, the installation program will install executable
programs and documentation in other directories of your choice.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded Infodex from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
1. Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the
package. In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading
this text means that you already have the necessary tools and
knowledge to perform this step. If not, you should be able
to obtain directions for this from the same source from which
you received the package.
2. Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted.
For example, if the temporary directory into which you have
extracted the files is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
3. Follow the instructions presented by the installation
program. You will have a chance to approve installation before any
changes are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
installation program will ask you for a destination directory, and
will copy the program files to that directory. If you so direct it,
the installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the program,
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
read at least the "Installation" section of the file INFODEX.DOC. That
document will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you
other information you need to properly evaluate Infodex. We hope you
enjoy the program.
