════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
████▓▓▓▓▓▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░ Important information ░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓▓████
I. FREEWARE
═══════════
You are free to use, copy and distribute "CASSETTE ver. 2.00" for
noncommercial use if:
- no fee is charged for use, copying or distribution.
- it is not modified in any way.
Authors of this software hereby disclaim all warranties relating to it,
whether express or implied, including without limitation any implied
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. They
will not be liable for any special, incidental, consequential, indirect
or similar damages, even if they have been advised of the possibility

It is the policy of the authors not to release the source code.
II. QUICK-START GUIDE
═════════════════════
From the DOS-prompt (e.g. "C:\>") type "CASSETTE" and press <ENTER>.
You will see the introductory screen telling you something about
freeware distribution scheme and the disclaimer of warranty. This screen
will be displayed only when starting "CASSETTE ver. 2.00" first time.
If you have one of the supported printers (e.i. with "*.CFG" enclosed),
please interchange your CASSETTE.CFG with an appropriate configuration
file before starting the program.
If you use different printer model please follow the instructions given
by the on-line user's manual (Quick tour) to create new configuration

III. COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
════════════════════════════
--------------------------------------
CASSETTE [advanced|easy|fixed] [uk|cz]
──────────────────────────────────────
advanced ... Starts "CASSETTE" in advanced mode.
easy ... Starts "CASSETTE" in easy (beginners') mode
fixed ... Starts "CASSETTE" in easy (beginners') mode with switching
to advanced mode impossible. This mode maybe useful
especially where more people use one computer. Using
it you may prevent them from changing configuration.
uk ... Starts "CASSETTE" in English language.
cz ... Starts "CASSETTE" in Czech language.
When no parameters are included, "CASSETTE" uses configuration stored in
configuration file "CASSETTE.CFG". However, passed command line parameters
are preferred, so you may ignore stored setting by specifying appropriate
parameters.
Example:
~~~~~~~~
Your configuration file "CASSETTE.CFG" includes settings to start "CASSETTE"
in fixed mode with English dialog language. To start it in advanced mode
and Czech language write:
CASSETTE advanced cz
Warning: Switching between languages/modes from inside the program (using
~~~~~~~~ menus "Language"/"Easy..."/"Advanced...") saves configuration.
IV. CONFIGURATION FILE FORMAT
═════════════════════════════
The configuration file(s) format has been changed! So, version 1.xx files are
incompatible with "CASSETTE ver. 2.00". To translate them into the new format
use "UPGRADE" utility. It transforms configuration files from version 1.00,
1.10, 1.15, 1.20 or 1.30 into the version 2.00 format. Its use is very very
easy. Simply write UPGRADE and as the parameter pass the configuration file
to be upgraded.
Example: UPGRADE Cassette.CFG
~~~~~~~~
CASSETTE ver. 2.00 configuration (*.CFG) file format specification
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Printer manufacturer/model
Number of "inlay card" culomns
Printer control codes (sent before beginning the printing job)
Printer control codes (sent after completing the printing job)
Advanced/Easy/Fixed mode
English (uk) /Czech (cz) dialog language
The configuration file is an ASCII file with each setting on a separate line.
Feel free to use any ASCII editor to modify it. If you create your own *.CFG
file, please send it to us to be included in the future versions of this
software.
