HelpGraf : Help Graphics Program
Version 3.40, 24-Mar-1987
SMG Software
(C) Copyright 1986,1987 by
Steven Georgiades
All Rights Reserved
This program will enable the user to easily enter graphics
characters. HelpGraf is memory resident, so once installed, it will
remain in memory until the system is rebooted.
To activate or deactivate HelpGraf, enter Alt-NumLock. When
HelpGraf is active, a menu will appear in the upper right-hand corner
of the screen, consisting of an array of 11 extended-ASCII characters
(graphics). Any of these characters may be accessed by using the
numeric keypad key corresponding to the array position, with the Alt
key. In other words, to access the graphics character in the lower
left-hand corner of the menu, enter Alt-Num1, since Num1 is in the
lower left-hand corner of the numeric keypad. (Note that Num1 refers to
the 1/End key of the numeric keypad). The 11 keys used for character
entry are: 0/Ins; ./Del; 1/End; 2/DownArrow; 3/PgDn; 4/LeftArrow; 5;
6/RightArrow; 7/Home; 8/UpArrow; and 9/PgUp. To scroll through
different menus (there are 13 altogether), use Alt-Num+ and Alt-Num-.
HelpGraf can be disabled entirely. When this is done, HelpGraf
does no processing of keyboard inputs. This means that no HelpGraf key
sequences will be recognized, including Alt-NumLock. This feature is
provided for the situation where HelpGraf's key strokes conflict with
those of another program.
Command Format:
HELPGRAF [ON | OFF] [+ | -]
Examples:
HELPGRAF (Install HelpGraf)
HELPGRAF + (Activate HelpGraf)
HELPGRAF - (Deactivate HelpGraf)
HELPGRAF OFF (Disable HelpGraf)
HELPGRAF ON (Enable HelpGraf)
HELPGRAF ON + (Enable HelpGraf and Activate)

This software is distributed as ShareWare. "ShareWare" means that
you are granted free license to use and copy this software as much as
you like, within the following restrictions:
1). It is distributed in its original, unmodified form,
including program and documentation.
2). No fee is charged for use, copying or distribution (With
the exception of nominal "per disk" copying charges, not to
exceed $6.00 per disk).
3). The program may not be included with other goods or
services supplied for a fee, unless written permission to
do so is obtained in advance from the author.
You are not required to register your shareware, but if you are using
the program, and find it helpful, you are expected to register.
Registration fees are as follows:
Full Registration (w/full support) ........ $20.00
Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $15.00
Please make checks payable to Steven M. Georgiades. Note that you are
not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the software
regularly, you are MORALLY obligated to do so. Aside from easing your
conscience, basic registration will also get you a diskette containing
the latest version of the software (unless you currently have the
latest version, in which case I will send you the next major revision),
a printed version of the documentation (8-1/2 x 11, unless you specify
6-1/4 x 8-1/2), and basic user support, which means that I will work
with you to resolve problems, and will do minor customization. Full
registration will get you everything that basic registration does, plus
full user support, which includes telephone support and all major
revisions of the software for two (2) years from the date of
registration. Fully registered users will also receive new SMG
releases from time to time for evaluation. In return for these
evaluations, the user will receive full registration for the new
software at no charge. When you register, please specify the name of
the program, and the version number.
Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT in
the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user from using
the program. I will then do my best to resolve these problems so that
the user may evaluate the software fully.
