- MegaD V1.0 (C) 1990 John L. Jones, All Rights Reserved.
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- This distribution archive contains the evaluation version of this
- program. Although the program itself is completely operational, it does
- contain a delay screen that will be activated after MegaD has been used
- 30 times. This screen is for the purpose of notification only. The
- delay screen can be remove by using the Registration option under the
- OUTPUT menu. It will reset the counter to it's first run state. MegaD
- evaluation version MUST be used on an unprotected disk. If the write
- protect tab is set on the disk that it is booted from it will end it's
- run at start. It does not contain any other irritants!
-
- The evaluation version of MegaD is just a little particular about
- how it likes to run. This is due to a unique method of adding a delay
- window after MegaD is used 30 times. Now don't let this scare you away
- from using MegaD. You can effectively use the evaluation version of
- MegaD forever and never see the delay window. The catch is you have to
- attempt to print the registration form within every 30 uses of MegaD.
- Wether a printer is attached or not the program usage counter will be
- reset ZERO and you are given 30 more uses without ever waiting for the
- delay window. The counter is changed within the code of the program when
- you attempt to print the registration form. This is why the evaluation
- version of MegaD is particular about how it is run. Here are the two
- restrictions.
-
- 1. The MegaD program must be in the current directory if run from
- the CLI or you must use the full path to call MegaD from
- another directory. So if you have MegaD in the C: directory It
- can be started by C:MegaD. If MegaD is found by the use of a
- PATH command it will not function properly, so if the program
- resides in the C: directory and it is called by a simple MegaD
- it will be started by the operating system but it will not be
- able to find the code needed to change the counter, if the code
- is not found it will not function.
-
- 2. The MegaD program must reside on an unprotected disk. If the
- write protect tab is set MegaD will not function. Outside of
- the above mentioned items MegaD does not contain any other
- irritants!
-
- The following files must be present within the archive in order for it
- to be considered an authorized copy of the MegaD distribution archive. If
- any of these files are absent please contact
- John L. Jones, 80 East Lennox Street, Midvale, Utah, 84047
- or leave me email on

- And I will have an authorized copy of the MegaD distribution archive
- mailed to you.
