│ 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. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
SIMSTAT is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge. If you like the program, and
wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required
to pay for the program (see ORDER.FRM 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 SIMSTAT is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 1MB of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install SIMSTAT.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place SIMSTAT distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o 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".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
The program will ask you for a destination directory, and
will copy the SIMSTAT files to that directory. If you
received SIMSTAT on two diskettes, you will need to insert
Disk 2 in the diskette drive when asked to do so.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded SIMSTAT from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the SIMSTAT package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
The program will ask you for a destination directory, and will
copy the SIMSTAT files to that directory.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed SIMSTAT
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
GETTING STARTED
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the
READ.ME and the INTRO.DOC file which will give you last minute
information and instructions to get started quickly. For a rapid
overview of SIMSTAT capabilities, you may also run the demonstration
program provided with SIMSTAT by executing the DEMO.BAT file from
the program directory.
