DETAILED DESCRIPTION
PC-LEARN is a shareware tutorial system for computer beginners
which features all NEW updated high speed color or monochrome
menus, tutorial printing on your printer, information searching
capabilities, revised tutorials and much more!
This version assumes installation to a hard drive. Contact
the author for a special "floppy drive only" version for users
lacking a hard drive.
PC-LEARN is a training system which includes chapters on buying
and using a computer, an entertaining history of computers, DOS
lessons, hard disk drives and tech tips. It also includes
information on word processing, a suggested reading list,
software selection, computer clubs, batch files, spreadsheets,
databases, and even a glossary! PC-LEARN runs on all IBM
compatible PC's. PC-LEARN has been selected a recommended
beginner's choice by 21 computer clubs and has been featured in
two national computer magazines. PC-LEARN is shareware. Please
make copies and share with your friends. Program runs on ALL
systems and does NOT require color or special graphics. A hard
drive is required for this version. Registration information is
contained in the file BONUS.TUT within the main unpacked program.
Submitting a requested $25 registration fee to the author of PC-
LEARN brings two VALUABLE bonus disks by mail which every
computer user or beginner should obtain to learn about and use a
computer to its full potential. The bonus disks are designed to
minimize computer frustration and add to the power of PC-LEARN.
You will be delighted you paid the small registration fee with
the gain in time, energy and understanding the bonus disks will
provide. Over 9,000 people have registered PC-LEARN in the past
three years!
If you or your company would like to design a special training
or production software program which looks and operates like PC-
LEARN (high speed menus, ease of use, search features, printing,
etc.), but contains your unique company data or tutorials,
contact the author of this program. Your company name, address,
logo or other information can be added.
A word about shareware and the TWO VALUABLE BONUS DISKS you can
order by mail! If you are new to computers you may not have
heard the term SHAREWARE. PC-LEARN is shareware. This means a
software programmer has prepared a software program which you
are free to copy and share with others, the author encourages
you to use and EVALUATE the program for up to 30 days subject
to your possible payment of a final registration fee to continue
full and legal use of the program. Submitting an honest
registration fee on an honor system means the author of PC-LEARN
will provide two additional valuable bonus disks, shipped by
mail to you plus any updates to PC-LEARN.
If you received a copy of PC-LEARN with your new computer, you
are essentially EVALUATING this program subject to your final
purchase. You may print a registration form on your printer by
selecting the "print registration form" option from the main
menu.
If you received this disk from a shareware distributor who
charged $3 or $4 for a sample copy disk, you have only paid a
distribution/handling fee for an evaluation disk of which
NO PORTION goes to the author of the software. You are expected
to pay for the program if you continue to use it or discontinue
your use of the program if you do not pay for it.
Registered owners receive by mail:
1) Two BONUS DISKS every new computer owner should obtain. The
bonus disks are highly valuable extensions to the PC-LEARN
computer tutorial system and are shipped directly to you.
2) Latest version/update of PC-LEARN if later version available.
3) Registration number and legal authorization to continue
using the program.
The author of PC-LEARN can create a CUSTOMIZED COVER SCREEN with
your store address and LOGO. Remember that since PC-LEARN will
be copied by many people, your advertisement will be copied with
it! PC-LEARN is thus both a tutorial and a marketing tool!
Customized logos and cover screens are also available for
computer clubs and are a wonderful way to boost membership and
make new members feel good about your club's "personalized" copy
of PC-LEARN.
Many computer stores, bookstores and small convenience stores
distribute PC-LEARN automatically with every computer they sell
or offer it for sale in our special retail packages.
If you wish to sell PC-LEARN at your store location or offer
customized copies with computers you sell to the public, contact
the author of this package. Ideal retail locations include
computer stores, stores with magazine racks, book stores,
convenience stores, electronics stores, small printing or Xerox
copy shops, college bookstores, retirement facilities, and of
course software stores.
If you would like to reprint sections of PC-LEARN in your
newsletter, community newspaper, BBS or other printed resource,
please contact the author at the address and telephone number
above for special (very liberal!) arrangements.

INSTALLATION AND UNPACKING OF THIS PROGRAM
████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
The main PC-LEARN package is stored in compressed files produced
by the software program LHARC written by Haruyasu Yoshizaki.
Unpacking to a hard drive is recommended. A special floppy
disk version is available from the author.
For most users having a C: hard drive and an A: floppy drive,
use the normal installation procedure which assumes this
installation disk of PC-LEARN is located on a floppy in your
A: drive and the final destination is your C: hard drive.
A>INSTALL <then press enter/return key>
For those using drives other than A: B: or hard drive C:
a useful help screen with commands for using LHARC is
available by typing the command LHARC at the DOS prompt.
Example: A>LHARC produces detailed help screen.
This will provide the LHARC command syntax for use with
other drive systems.
Once unpacked, start the main program using the command: PCL
You must, of course, switch or change into the hard drive
subdirectory which now contains the unpacked PC-LEARN files.
The sole owner of the PC-LEARN software package is Seattle
Scientific Photography and Jim Hood who assume no liability,
intended or otherwise, for the use or misuse of this package or
the information or software code contained within. No warrantees
are offered, either expressed or implied. Your rights in this
