│ 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 the PB/WORKSHOP(tm) VISUAL INTERFACE DESIGNER -
TEST DRIVE Version 1.03, by DSE SOFTWARE PUBLISHING. 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.
PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE is a demonstration program. This evaluation
version includes all features of the program, with the exception of the
ability to generate source code or compile resource files. These
options are enabled in the commercial release version.
If you like the program, and wish to purchase the actual product, you
are required to pay for the program (see ORDER_ME.TXT 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 PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE is quite
simple. The package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates
the entire process. You will need about 600k of available disk space on
the hard drive on which you plan to install PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE 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.
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
PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE files to that directory. If you
received PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE 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. It will make no other changes; specifically, it will not
modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE 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. 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.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would
execute the MS-DOS command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o 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
PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE files to that directory. If you so
direct it, the installation program will install executable
programs and documentation in other directories of your choice.
It will make no other changes; specifically, it will not modify
your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed PB/WORKSHOP(tm)
TEST DRIVE (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 "Overview" and "Quick Start" sections of the file
"PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE.DOC". That document will tell you how to
invoke the program, and will give you other information you need to
properly evaluate PB/WORKSHOP(tm) TEST DRIVE. We hope you enjoy the
program.
