INSTALLATION NOTES
If there is an old options file, "winjpeg.sav," in your WinJPEG directory,
you must delete it before running version 1.4.
WinJPEG 1.4 doesn't require that the work directory is the same as the
directory containing "winjpeg.exe." If you are using Windows 3.1, you
can have a separate path as your work directory for your pictures.
HOW TO ACCESS ON-LINE HELP
Help for menu commands can be accessed by 1) using the Index command
under the Help menu, 2) pressing shift-F1 and selecting an active menu
item, or 3) selecting an active menu item without releasing the mouse
button, pressing the F1 key, and then releasing the mouse button. Topics
such as JPEG formats, corrupt GIF files, how to obtain updates, etc. are
also accessible under the Index command.
HOW TO REGISTER
If you use WinJPEG for more than 14 days, you are expected to register
WinJPEG or to delete your copy of WinJPEG. When you register, you will
receive the latest 286 and 386 versions of WinJPEG, a user manual, and a
collection of JPEG images (we will put as many as we can fit on 2 720k 3
1/2" floppies, on 1 1.44M 3 1/2" floppy, or on 4 360k 5 1/4" floppies).
Also, the registered version does not have the reminder-to-register
screen at the start.
Once you are registered, you will receive updates of WinJPEG for free.
If you have an Internet account or Compuserve account, you will be
e-mailed updates. Other registered users can obtain updates by sending
us a stamped self-addressed envelope with a disk. The disk will be
returned with the update and another collection of JPEG images. Updates
are available when you see a new shareware version.
The registration fee is only $15. MA residents, add 5% sales tax to the
registration fee. US residents, add $3 for shipping and non-US
residents, add $8 for shipping. If you want WinJPEG e-mailed to your
account instead of having it physically mailed to you, there is no extra
shipping charge.
To register, complete the order form and send a check in US funds to:
