OsoSoft Shareware Programs
Introduction
The files on this diskette are the latest versions of several DOS
and Windows 3.1 programs from OsoSoft. All files replace all
previous versions of the same programs.
Distributor Information
If you are a distributor of shareware software, you may
distribute these programs as they are, without any changes.
However, you have a responsibility to check from time to time, at
a minimum interval of 6 months, for new versions of these
programs. You may not distribute any OsoSoft programs as part of
any commercial program or in conjunction with any collection of
software of any kind without express written permission from
OsoSoft.
Retail Rack and CD-ROM Distribution
If you distribute shareware in a retail setting in racks, store
displays, vending machines or in any way other than normal BBS or
catalog-based sales, you must contact OsoSoft for permission to
distribute any OsoSoft program. Rack or retail-like sales require
a special distribution license, normally with royalties paid to
OsoSoft. If you distribute shareware on CD-ROM disks, you must
also contact OsoSoft before including any OsoSoft shareware
program on a CD-ROM disk. Normally, permission is granted, but
current versions must be included and all old versions of any
OsoSoft program removed from any CD-ROM disk containing OsoSoft
products.
Please check your catalog for previous versions of these programs
and replace them with the current version on the diskette.
VBRUN200.DLL
All Windows 3.1 programs on this diskette require the
VBRUN200.DLL library from Microsoft Visual Basic 2.0. If you
distribute these programs, you MUST make this file readily
available to your customers, either on the diskette containing
any OsoSoft program requiring that file, or in another way
convenient to the end user. By convenient, OsoSoft means that no
user should have to purchase another diskette to try any OsoSoft
program.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
PROGRAMS FOR WINDOWS 3.1
Fonter 6.0
Fonter lets you view and print Windows 3.1 TrueType and Adobe
Type Manager fonts in several ways. Onscreen, you can view any
font, complete with a font sample window showing text in that
font. A full-screen view allows Zooms on three levels, and
displays the entire character set. New to Version 6.0 are an
onscreen ANSI grid, and a keyboard simultation for any font. Both
of these displays can be printed with a mouse click. Another
feature allows users to create BMP clip art files for any
character in 72 point size. This is especially useful for
creating clip art images of dingbat and symbolic characters.
Printing features include font lists, with samples for all or
selected fonts. Users can also print full page font samples,
showing multiple sizes, etc. A full-page ANSI chart is another
printing option. For convenience, users may automatically print
complete font books for all fonts installed on their system.
System Requirements: Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode, 2 MB RAM, mouse,
hard disk, VGA or better, printer.
Price: $20 Shareware Registration
MultiLabel 3.0
MultiLabel lets users create customized labels, complete with
clip art, any TrueType or ATM font or text alignment and line
drawings, using Windows 3.1 and any graphics-capable printer
fully supported by Windows. Labels can also include automatic
serialization on duplicate labels, character formats inserted in
lines of text, and automatic bullets. Users can insert up to 2
PCX or BMP clip art images, with full scaling and positioning
control. Custom text alignments and a grid overlay allow precise
placement of text and graphics. Built-in line, circle, and
box-drawing tools add flexibility. A WYSIWYG display of the label
is always visible. The program automatically supports all Avery
Laser Label formats or users can create customized label sizes.
New in version 3.0 is an Address Book module which holds up to
750 6-line entries in each data file. Field codes inserted in the
label allow full merge capabilities. Full search tools aid in
record selection. Users can print all or selected addresses or
any other data stored in the Address Book on the labels, along
with other text. Also new is support for all Windows-compatible
printers, including PostScript and Dot-matrix devices.

disk, mouse, VGA or better, graphics-capable Windows printer.

Rockford! 3.0
Rockford! is the premiere business card design and printing
program for Windows 3.1. Users can design and print
professional-quality business cards, complete with clip art, all
TrueType and ATM fonts and text alignments, and line drawings
created with the internal drawing tools. Four border styles are
also available. Users can insert up to 2 BMP or PCX clip art
images, with full scaling and positioning. A WYSIWYG display of
the card is always visible. Users can print 200% layout sheets or
four-up layouts to take to print shops, or print sheets of
ready-to-cut cards on card stock paper. Rockford! also supports
three styles of pre-cut card stock available from several sources
for ready-to-use cards. Fine adjustments in printing allow
compensation for printer variations.
New features in Rockford! 3.0 include support for both PCX and
BMP files, support for all Windows-compatible printers, including
dot-matrix and PostScript devices, and an on-screen layout grid
plus precise positioning of text and graphics. Also new is a link

advertising messages on layout sheets.
WinClip 3.0
WinClip is the ideal Windows 3.1 clip art cataloging program.
With it, users can preview BMP and PCX images in 1, 4, 8, and
24-bit formats on any display adapter. Full scrolling and zoom
features make previewing images easy. Printing options include
printing of individual images, selected images, or entire
directories of images. All printouts have a binding margin, and
include file and directory names. Zoom percentages allow printing
at any scale. Additionally, a double click on an image or
filename load the image into a bitmap editor of the user's
choice.
New to WinClip 3.0 is support for both BMP and PCX files, support
for all graphics-capable Windows printers, including dot-matrix
and PostScript devices, and brand new file management tools. File
management is one of the key features. Users can copy, move or
delete single files or selected files. This lets the user manage
clip art files by moving and copying them into selected
directories for easy access. CD-ROM support is also new to this
version.

disk, mouse, VGA or better, graphics-capable Windows printer.

OKFonts
OKFonts is designed to help Windows TrueType and ATM users find
and delete defective fonts. Many free and shareware fonts are
defective, and can cause unexplainable Windows crashes. Finding
these fonts is the job that OKFonts does best. This program is
unique in the Windows environment.
OsoSoft makes OKFonts available at no charge as a service to all
Windows users.
System Requirements: Windows 3.1 in Enhanced Mode, 2 MB RAM, hard
disk, mouse, VGA or better, printer.
Price: FREE!
FontNamer
FontNamer, another FREE font utility from OsoSoft, lets users see
the true Windows font name for any ATM or TrueType font file.
Since many font files have cryptic names that do not reflect the
font name itself, the tool is invaluable for font management
purposes. Working with both FontNamer and the font scaler's
window on screen at the same time, the program allows intelligent
deletion of unwanted fonts and the files as well.
OsoSoft makes FontNamer available at no charge as a service to
all Windows users.
System Requirements: Windows 3.1 in Enhanced Mode, 2 MB RAM, hard
disk, mouse, VGA or better, printer.
Price: FREE!

Windows 3.1. Use it to find files anywhere on your system,
including on CD-ROM disks. Searches use normal DOS wildcard
criteria. Also, search for up to four strings of text in ANY

including BMP and PCX files. Play WAV and MIDI files with sound
card. Launch programs and execute data files with either the
default Windows associations or with up to 36 custom
associations. Edit or run BAT and PIF files. File management
tools include Copy, Move, and Delete commands on single files or
on selected files.
OsoSoft makes Filer available at no charge as a service to all
Windows users.

computer. Why? Because many hardware problems are intermittent
and tough to find. BurnIn gives your computer a tough workout,
testing every system over and over again. If something's going to
fail, it'll fail while BurnIn runs. Use BurnIn on all new
computers, while the warranty period is in effect. Use it again
just before the warranty expires or whenever you add a new card
or peripheral. Best of all, its intelligent interface is easy to
use and anticipates your next command. Automatic configuration.
