Welcome!
Thank you for trying Replicator! Replicator is a disk image
utility designed to create images of diskettes and catalog them
in a database. Optional compression routines can be used to
reduce the image size. The database stores up to 10 lines of
descriptive text, the date the file was created, and a complete
list of all files contained on the original diskette! Database
entries can be modified at any time. Replicator has an easy push
button interface to make it fast and user-friendly! Network
support is included!
If you appreciate Replicator, you are encouraged to call The STSI
BBS at (218) 924-2060, and let us know! Comments, suggestions,
and enhancement requests are always welcome!

To run Replicator reliably, you will need the following:
· DOS 3.3 or Higher
· IBM PC, PC-Compatible or MS-DOS Computer
· 80286 Processor or Higher

Disclaimer / License Agreement
What is shareware?
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details - some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all or to a specific
group. For example, some authors require written permission
before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee - if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
Disclaimer - Agreement
By using Replicator, users indicate their acceptance of the
following terms:
"Replicator is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
Neither STSI, The STSI BBS, or any STSI employees will be held
responsible for any damages, direct or consequential, which may
result from the use of Replicator."
"Information in this documentation is subject to change without
notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of STSI.
STSI may make improvements and/or changes in this documentation
or in the products and/or programs described in this
documentation at any time."
Replicator is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. 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 this program
useful and find that you are using Replicator and continue to use
Replicator after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $49.95 (+S&H) to Stevenson Technical
Services, Inc. (STSI). This registration fee will license one
copy 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, Replicator should not be used on two
different computers at the same time.
Commercial users of Replicator must register and pay for their
copies of Replicator within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
STSI at (218) 924- 2050.
Anyone distributing Replicator for any kind of remuneration must
first contact STSI for authorization. This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as
adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering Replicator immediately. (However
STSI must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-
to-date with the latest version of Replicator.)
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Replicator along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the Replicator,
along with a printed manual and bonus disks.
ASP Notice:
STSI 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.
Registration
Replicator is distributed under the shareware concept. You may
try Replicator for a period of two weeks. After this period, you

or $10.00 Shipping & Handling on Foreign Orders). (For network
or site-license pricing, see the file REGISTER.DOC.) This price
includes a printed manual, 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" diskettes, removal
