- 1. ABOUT THIS VERSION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is V2.0 of ZOC. It is available as shareware and from
- software stores/mail order houses.
-
- These versions are identical in functionallity and similar or
- same in price. They are just distributed through different
- channels.
-
- If you purchased ZOC, please ignore the parts about shareware (the
- shareware version is a 30 days try-before-buy version). However,
- the software license that comes with the purchased ZOC versions
- works for the shareware version as well. This way you can obtain
- updates from a BBS near you or from the ZOC support BBS (see below).
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2. DISTRIBUTION, COPYRIGHT
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ZOC is (C) 1993, 1994 by Markus Schmidt
-
- You may use and test the shareware version for 30 days, then you
- have to register or remove it from your system.
-
- No warranty of any kind can be given for damage caused through
- ZOC directly or indirectly or any other way.
-
- The unregistered shareware version of ZOC may be distributed
- freely via telecommunication, shareware dealers or as a free add
- on for hard- or software products in form of an unmodified ZIP
- archive, or as unzipped files in an single directory with the
- name ZOC and with no file added, removed or modified.
-
- The following restrictions apply to distribution.
-
- * ZOC must not be used in an army environment or for purposes
- that are related to military or arms production.
-
- * ZOC may be included into shareware CDs if the ZIP file is
- left intact or if all files from the ZIP file are provided
- in a single directory named ZOC.
- Two copies of the CD should be sent to EmTec, Markus Schmidt
- (address below).
-
- * ZOC must not be sold as unregistered shareware for more than
- $5/DM 7 (that includes shipping). If you purchased ZOC from a

- him of this regulation.
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 3. INSTALLATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- To install ZOC just type INSTALL at a command prompt. The WPS
- install program will handle the rest.
-
- If you encounter problems of any kind, please try to install
- ZOC into a fresh directory of your boot drive without importing
- files from a prior ZOC version.
-
- Note: ZOC should not be installed over or importing from an
- existing beta version of ZOC.
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 4. REGISTRATION/ORDERS FROM SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you need any information about ordering or obtaining a software
- license for the shareware version, see Help for Registration in
- the help menu of ZOC.
-
- Here's a quick summary:
-
- The shareware version of ZOC is fully functional in any way. It
- just shows the order form after every download.
-
- When you register (or if you purchased ZOC) you receive a software
- license code, that unlocks all shareware versions of ZOC up to
- a certain version number.
-
- If you want to register, just fill out the order form and send me a
- hardcopy. You find my address and prices in the helpfile and on the
- printed order form.
-
- I am prepared to handle payment from foreign countries. Registration
- sites are available for USA/Canada and Australia. Please check
- the order form window for addresses and phone numbers.
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 5. TAP_GIF.EXE / TAP_JPG.EXE
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- TAP_GIF.EXE and TAP_JPG.EXE are online picture viewers for downloads.
- They were written by Markus Goemmel, using the developer interface
- (see below) of ZOC.
-
- They can be started manually before, or automatically at the begin
- of a GIF/JPG download (even if downloaded via external protocol).
-
- They are quite self explanatory.
-
- If you have questions about them, write to m.goemmel@msn.rmi.de
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 6. PIPCISB.DLL / PIPKERM.DLL
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ZOC contains an interface for implementation of sophisticated
- external file transfer protocols. Two such protocols are bundled
- with the ZOC package:
-
- PIPCISB.DLL (an implementation of the CompuServe B+ protocol)
-
- PIPKERM.DLL (an implementation of the Kermit Protocol)
-
- If you have questions about them, write to m.goemmel@msn.rmi.de
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 7. ZOCBK PHONE BOOK CONVERTER/ZOC RELATED FILES
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There already is a freeware phone book converter (from Telix and
- Telemate to ZOC). It is a DOS command line program and can be
- found as ZOCBKxxx.ZIP.
-
- It is available from CompuServe's OS2SHARE forum and from the
- ZOC support BBS (see help file or below).
-
- If you have questions about ZOCBK, please contact:
-
- Author : Hans Juergen Rauscher, Germany
- FIDO : 2:2440/225.10@fidonet.org
- InterNet : Hans-Juergen_Rauscher@project.fido.de
- CompuServe : 100346,2105
- Telefax : +49-(0)2182-57329
-
- Others will show up and the ZOCDEV.ZIP (developer info) file contains
- a skeleton C source for such a converter.
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- 8. DEVELOPER INFOMATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you are interested in developing add ins for ZOC you should
- try to find a version of ZOCDEV.ZIP (eg. from CompuServe).
-
- This file contains everything (including sample source code) needed
- for developing TAPs (file transfer add ons) or PIPs (file transfer
- protocols).
-
- If you plan to implement the terminal side of PIPs or TAPs, you
- can request the source code used for servicing these from me. It
- would be a big step forward if the OS/2 family would have a
- standard for external protocols (like XPR for the Amiga world).
