│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │

│ 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 │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains StopWatch Version 1.40 by TAN$TAAFL(TM) Software
Company. This document contains only a brief description of the package
and its features, along with instructions for its installation. Quite
detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived
form, and is more easily read after installation.
If you've ever wished you could use your computer as a precision
chronograph (timer) then StopWatch is the program for you. Once you
calibrate your computer for three levels of precision you can use the
Up, Down, Race, Lap, Game, and Split Timers to time anything from your
eggs in the morning, the Indy 500, or a scientific experiment to an
accuracy of millionths of a second.
StopWatch is a shareware program. This evaluation version is a full
featured program and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up
to 30 days, without charge (see STWATCH.DOC for more details). If you
like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation
period, you are required to pay for the program (see ORDER.DOC for more
details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers,
etc.) to obtain this program was a fee for their copying and
distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
program.
As a registration incentive you will receive the lastest versions of
StopWatch 16 and 32, which is optimized for 32 bit registers. The 32 bit
register optimized version of StopWatch is for 80386 and up computers.
The registered versions include realtime speed calculations for all up
and lap timers, a printer options menu, virus self-checking at startup,
and a holiday editor. Plus receive two small utilities. One is
NEWCLS.COM, a replacement for the DOS CLS command which allows you to
set any valid combination of screen colors whenever you clear the
screen. The second is GUARDIAN.SYS which guards your computer against
any attack through DOS's backdoor. The registration reminder screen has
been removed from the registered versions and you will be notified by
TAN$TAAFL(TM) Software Company of any major upgrades.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for StopWatch is very simple. You will need
at least 336K of free disk space to store all of the programs and
documentation files.
Use the INSTALL.EXE file to install the StopWatch files on any disk
drive. At the DOS prompt type INSTALL followed by a carriage return if
you are logged onto the drive and directory that INSTALL.EXE is in. Or
if you are on the C: drive and INSTALL.EXE is on the A: drive type
A:\INSTALL followed by a carriage return. You do not have to be logged
onto the drive and directory that INSTALL.EXE is in. INSTALL.EXE will
take over and guide you through the installation process.
INSTALL.EXE checks itself and all of the programs in the StopWatch
Package, except VENDINFO.DIZ, for signs of alteration, tampering, or
infection by a computer virus.
INSTALL.EXE allows you to select the files you wish to install. It does
not require you to install all the files and then delete the ones you do
not want.
INSTALL.EXE has very sophisticated error detection routines that will
tell you if anything goes wrong during the installation process. While
each file is being transferred the data is verified by reading it back
and comparing it against the original data.
During the actual transfer process if any error is detected you will be
informed and installation will be stopped. This will mean that you have
a problem with the source or destination disk that has to be taken care
of before you can continue the installation process.
EXECUTING StopWatch
StopWatch does not run on the 8086, 8088, 80186 or 80188 CPUs.
StopWatch may be executed from either a floppy or hard disk drive. To
minimize loading time it is recommended that StopWatch be run from a
hard disk drive. You will also be able to create larger data files on a
hard disk drive. StopWatch CANNOT be executed from a CD-ROM disk because
it has to be able to create files in the directory in which the EXE file
is located. CD-ROM is a read-only media and you cannot create files on
it.
If you desire to execute StopWatch from any directory, the directory
name that StopWatch resides in must be placed in the "PATH=" environment
variable. Check your DOS manual for more details. If the Directory is
not in the "PATH=" environment variable you will first have to log on to
the required directory with the following DOS Command: "CD STWATCH"
assuming that "STWATCH" is the directory name you have the EXE file in.
There are two command line parameters, /B and /P, that may be entered
when executing StopWatch. (See page 8 in STWATCH.DOC for complete
details.)
From the DOS Prompt type in SW16 followed by any command line parameters
and press the Enter Key. StopWatch will load and be ready to run.
MULTITASKING ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN StopWatch IN A MULTITASKING ENVIRONMENT. It will
adversely effect the timing routines and erroneous results will be
displayed. StopWatch will refuse to load and run if it is executed from
Windows, OS/2, or the DOS Task Switcher.
POWER MANAGEMENT FOR LAPTOP COMPUTERS
While using StopWatch on a laptop computer do not use any power
management routines that slow down the CPU.
