- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- (Installation instructions are included below)
-
- QUICK START:
- ------------
- In order to make FULL use of this powerful program, you will need to
- fully read the documentation, which is contained in a file called
- MUSICEZ.DOC. However, simply executing the command ME followed by
- pressing the [ENTER] key will start the program. The menu options are
- displayed in the lower portion of the screen, and you can move forward
- from one item to another by pressing the [SPACE] or [TAB] keys. The
- [BACKSPACE] or [SHIFT]-[TAB] keys will move backwards from one item to
- the previous.
-
- The first thing that you will probably want to do is to set the Options
- for your system. When initially installed, MusicEase is configured for
- CGA video. Using your [TAB] key, move through the options at the bottom
- of the screen until "Options" is highlighted. Press your [ENTER] key to
- go into the Options setup area. Once in the Options area, press [TAB] to
- highlight the "Display" option, and press [ENTER]. In the Display setup,
- you can select the preferred MODE (Text or Graphics), RESOLUTION (Medium
- or High), and ADAPTER (MDA, CGA, EGA, VGA, etc).
-
- With these options set, you're ready to begin using MusicEase!
-
-
- PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION:
- ---------------------------
- The documentation file (MUSICEZ.DOC) is formatted for 75-characters per
- line, and 60-lines per page. To print the documentation, you can simply
- issue the following command from the DOS command line:
-
- COPY MUSICEZ.DOC PRN
-
- The documentation file contains form-feed characters, so it can also be
- printed by various printing utilities.
-
-
- MusicEase is Shareware!
- -----------------------
- The registration fee for MusicEase is $49.00 (US), plus applicable
- shipping/handling charges. You are entitled to evaluate MusicEase for a
- period of up to 30 days. If after that time you intend to continue to
- use the program you must pay for it. If you do not intend to continue
- to use the program you must delete it from your system.
-
- There is a file named REGISTER.TXT in the distribution file set which
- contains the order form.
-
- The shareware copy of MusicEase that you have is not restricted in any
- way. Upon purchasing a licensed copy of the product, you will receive:
-
- - a copy of the most current version available,
-
- - a 25% discount on future upgrades and new releases,
-
- - a printed manual including graphics of music which cannot be
- included in the non-registered on-disk manual,
-
- - an extensive tutorial,
-
- - a symbol definition utility,
-
- - a symbol file containing many more symbols,
-
- - a disk containing various sample scores as examples of the
- extensive capabilities, and samplee LaserJet print files
- which can be copied directly to a LaserJet printer as examples
- of the truly professional output capabilities. (this disk is
- available for downloading from our support BBS, or may be
- ordered separately at a minimal cost).
-
- - unlimited support via mail, telephone, CompuServe, etc.,
-
- - update notices for future versions,
-
- - removal of the watermark on printed output,
-
- - removal of registration reminder screens,
-
- - welcome screen will include "Registered to: <YourName>".
-
- And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support
- the Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality
- software at realistic prices.
-
-
- So what is Shareware?
- ---------------------
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
- publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and
- by copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are
- allowed to try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate
- in money back guarantees.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is
- good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software.
- The primary difference between shareware and retail software is that
- with shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
- meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they
- are able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it
- takes to launch a traditional retail software product.
-
- The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
- products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the
- shareware you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow
- shareware authors to support and continue to develop their products.
-
- Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
- actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive
- by your support!
-
- RMH Computer Services is a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
- principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
- shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
- directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
- resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
- technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX
- 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
- Ombudsman 70007,3536.
