- | Welcome to the Shareware revolution. This remarkable method of |
- | software distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and |
- | Andrew Fluegelman. It has become a major force in the software |
- | industry, helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy |
- | protection schemes. |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- HERE'S HOW SHAREWARE WORKS:
-
- You are encouraged to copy the SAM diskette and share it freely
- with others. You have the luxury of trying out the program at
- your own pace and in the comfort of your own home or workplace. This is
- not a "demo", but an actual working version of the program.
-
- After you have used SAM for a maximum 30 day evaluation period you
- must either discontinue use of the program or register your copy with
- ArkanSoftware Publishing.
-
- Why pay at all?
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- * You receive a CURRENT copy of the program
- * You receive a printed user manual
- * Three months of technical support - by phone or written
- * Notification of updates and new versions
- * Notification of new products
- * Your input and ideas help shape future products
- * A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly
- participated in the Shareware revolution
- * You help to keep software prices down, by supporting a
- distribution method which doesn't depend on expensive
- advertising campaigns.
-
- So please dive in and enjoy the fun of legally sharing good software with
- your friends and associates. But also be aware of the following restrictions,
- designed to protect the community of Shareware users and to prevent others
- from taking unfair advantage of the trust, hard work, and good will of
- Shareware authors. Exceptions to these conditions must be received in writing
- from ArkanSoftware Publishers.
-
- 1. The files and programs on the disks may not be modified or deleted.
- 2. The programs cannot be sold as part of some other more inclusive package.
- 3. The programs cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
- 4. In the case of distribution via any telecommunications link
- the following must be done:
- All ArkanSoftware Publishers programs (and documentation files) must
- be transferred in a library or archive format. This means that all
- the files on each ArkanSoftware Publishers disk must be combined into
- one file.
-
-
-
-
- 5. If you're copying the disks for distribution to students in a classroom,
- you must provide them with the following written notice:
-
- +----------------------------------------------------+
- | These diskettes are distributed to you through the |
- | courtesy of (your school or instructor name) and |
- | ArkanSoftware Publishers. No royalty nor registra- |
- | tion fee has been paid for the programs, which are |
- | for your use and evaluation as a student. |
- | |
- | If you wish to receive technical support and |
- | announcements of updates and improvements, you |
- | must first become a "registered user." You do |
- | that by registering each program you plan to use - |

- | INSTALLING SAM |
- +------------------+
-
- SAM requires a hard disk and a minimum of 512K RAM. To install the
- program, put the SAM Install disk into your A: (or B:) disk drive
- and type:
-
- >A:<Enter>
- >INSTALL<Enter>
-
- INSTALL asks you for specific information and then creates a subdirectory
- on your hard disk and copies the necessary programs and files into that
- subdirectory. You'll need about 800K of available disk space.
-
- STARTUP:
-
- 1. Start SAM with the following DOS commands:
- >CD\SAM
- >SAM
-
- 2. Sample data for evaluating and learning SAM is available by
- starting SAM with the following command:
-
- >SAM /S
-
- In the Appointment Detail screen press F3 and enter the date 08/08/88
- for sample appointments. Using the sample data will NOT affect your
- regular data files.
-
- 3. Be DILIGENT about data backup as certain key files CANNOT be easily
- replaced. See the Quit menu for a limited backup capability.
-
-
