Initial Shareware release.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THIS RELEASE
--------------------------------------
What's New
----------
This release uses decryption to facilitate easier
registration. The copy of XED you now have is
'upgradable' to the registered version upon receipt
of your payment.
You will be sent a validation key by e-mail (or mail
if not available) which is then used with the utility
VALIDATE.EXE supplied in this release. The registered
version will not display any 'nag' screens. Some
additional functionality is provided with the
registered version however the shareware version is a
fully functioning release (in line with ASP policy).
The advantage of this system is that you don't need
to reinstall the software. The version you currently
have is all you need. Additionally, should new
versions be released, you need only obtain the new
shareware copy and apply your user key. There will be
no physical distinction between registered and
shareware releases of XED.
How to register
---------------
Fill in the REGISTER.FRM and post with your payment.
With foreign registrations please do not send
personal cheques. Although not strictly kosher, you
can send cash (wrap a $A20.00 or $US10+5). This
is the next best method after credit cards. ;-&
Credit card orders
------------------
I can now process credit card orders (MC VISA AMEX).
Fill in REGISTER.FRM with your cards details, sign
and mail or fax to me. If you don't mind your card
details being the subject of an e-mail message, then
you can e-mail me your details without the signature.
What next?
----------
I will send you your registration key by e-mail if
possible. Alternatively, I will phone or write.
You will receive a message with your user id and the
file USER.CTX. Copy this file to the directory that
contains VALIDATE.EXE. Alternatively, you can enter
the ciphertext from the file on the command line or
specify a source path. In some cases I will e-mail
the cipher text and you can enter this text at the
prompt. See below for more details.
Execute VALIDATE from the DOS prompt (no parameters).
See description below for a list of other options.
VALIDATE will ask for your user id. Enter the id
exactly as it appears in the message (without the
double quotes).
VALIDATE will produce a file called USER.XED. If XED
cannot locate this file when it starts, or if the
file has been modified or copied, the program will
revert to the shareware version. Use DOS move to
relocate this file somewhere on your PATH or use the
options described below to create the key file in the
desired directory.
Save the message I sent you and USER.CTX (or a copy
of the ciphertext) somewhere safe. This can be used
again with subsequent releases.
VALIDATE.EXE
------------
(v1.0) usage: VALIDATE [{-/}cfhit]
-c <cipher text>, default (from file)
-f <ciphertext file>, default user.ctx
-h print usage
-i <user id>, default (from console)
-t <target key file path>, default current directory
With no parameters, VALIDATE expects the file USER.CTX to
be in the current directory. By default, the program will
ask you to enter your user id. If your ciphertext file is
in another directory or under a different name you can
specify the file with the -f option, for example:
validate -f c:\cserve\noname.001
There are a number of ways you can use VALIDATE depending
on what is most convenient for you. The program can take
as parameters all the information it needs. Example:
validate -i "John M. Citizen" -c jkjdMjbd1Lpkwoqdgfwk473x
validates the user id against the given ciphertext. If
the -i flag is not passed, the program will prompt for
your id. If successful the file USER.XED will be created
in the current directory.
The -t option allows you to specify the target path for
USER.XED. For example, if you keep your executables in
c:\bin, you could use the following command:
validate -t c:\bin -f c:\cserve\noname.001
Which will create USER.XED in c:\bin using the ciphertext
file in the compuserve directory as source. By default
the target path is the current directory.
VALIDATE will look along your path for USER.XED before
creating the key file. If the program is run after the
initial key file has been created, VALIDATE will attempt
to update the original key file.
