Keyed File System (Shareware)
The Keyed File System is a set of subroutines that may be called from
programs written in any language for OS/2 2.0 or greater that allow files
to be built and accessed using alphabetic or numeric keys. These routines
are distributed as a series of header files, libraries, and DLL's. The
files in this package can be freely copied and distributed as long as all
files (including this README.DOC file) are distributed together. The
routines in this package are, to the best of our knowledge, completely
error free. However, this package is provided on an "as is" basis with no
warranty specified or implied (see "Disclaimer - Agreement" below).
This package should contain the following files:
README.DOC - This file.
KFS.TXT - An ASCII text version of the User's Guide for the KFS
routines. This file also contains registration and support
information.
REGISTER.FRM - A form to complete and return when registering the Keyed
File System.
KFS.H - A header file that declares the procedures and constants be
used in programs using the KFS routines.
KFSOS220.LIB - A lib used when linking OS/2 programs to indicate the KFS
routines exist in KFSOS220.DLL.
KFSOS220.DLL - The Dynamic Link Library containing the KFS routines. This
file must be in a directory pointed to by the LIBPATH
statement when running any program that uses the KFS
routines.
KFSSAMP.C - A sample program that can be compiled and executed, using an
OS/2 C compiler, that illustrates the use of many (but not
all) of the KFS functions.
KFSSAMP.DAT - A sequential file used as input by the KFSSAMP program.
Disclaimer - Agreement ----------------------
Users of the Keyed File System routines must accept this disclaimer of
warranty:
The Keyed File System routines are supplied as is. The author disclaims
all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author
assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result
from the use of the Keyed File System.
The Keyed File System routines are "shareware" and are provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share them with your
friends as long as all parts of the package are distributed together, but
please do not give them away altered in any way. These routines are
copyrighted and may not be included in any programs you distribute either
freely or for sale without obtaining the license that you will receive as
part of registering this software. The essence of "user-supported "
software is to provide personal computer users with quality software
without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find these routines useful and
find that you are continuing to use them after a reasonable trial period,
or you wish to write programs using these routines to distribute to others,
you should complete the registration form and send this along with your
registration payment of $50.00 (check, money order, Visa, or MasterCard)
to APT Computer Solutions, Inc. at the address shown below. The $50.00
registration fee will license one copy of these routines for use on
any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a
book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people
and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being
used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at
the same time. However, with your registration you will also receive a
license that allows you to freely distribute or sell any programs you write
that include these routines.
Commercial users of the Keyed File System routines must register and pay
for their copies of the KFS routines within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
APT Computer Solutions, Inc..
Anyone distributing the Keyed File System routines for any kind of
remuneration must first contact APT Computer Solutions, Inc. at the
address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to distributors recognized by the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
distributors, and such distributors may begin offering the Keyed File
System immediately (However APT Computer Solutions, Inc. must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of these routines.).
