PC-MATE : Memory Resident Pop-Up Utilities Program
Version 1.30, 06-Apr-1987
SMG Software
(C) Copyright 1986,1987 by
Steven Georgiades
All Rights Reserved
This a preliminary version of my newest entry into the shareware
software arena. It is called PC-Mate, and in its current preliminary
state, it includes video control (set cursor shape and size, set screen
attributes, clear screen), printer control (installable for a number of
printers), and an alarm clock with eight independent alarm times.
Once PC-Mate is made resident, it can be called up at any time by
pressing a Hot-Key combination. A menu will then appear on your
screen, which will enable you to select one of the sub-menus. The
menus should be more-or-less self-explanatory.
Included with the PC-Mate program is an installation program
called PCM-INST. Run this program to customize PC-Mate for your
system. It will allow you to select the Hot-Key combination, set
default alarm times for the alarm clock, select the printer to use, and
customize the printer control codes.
A more complete version of this program, version 2.00, will be
ready soon, probably by August, 1987. This version will include a more
refined alarm clock, a programmer's calculator, an ASCII table,
interrupt vector query, memory browse, and memory usage mapping. If
there is anything else you would like to see implemented, let me know.
If it's reasonable, I may include it.
If you find this program valuable, you may register an advanced
copy of PC-Mate, Version 2.00 by sending me $35.00. With your
registration, you will receive a disk containing PC-Mate, Version 2.00
(including assembly language source code), a full users manual (in
either 8-1/2 by 11 or 6-1/4 by 8-1/2 format -- please specify), and all
future updates for two full years, all at no additional charge.
Command Format:

and disable alarms from the command line.

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) ........ $35.00
Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $25.00
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.
