* OVERVIEW
The Byzans Task Manager (BTM) is a replacement Task Manager for
MS Windows 3.1. BTM combines the functionality of the Windows Task
List and Program Manager. Although BTM could also be used as a
Windows Shell in place of the Program Manager theoretically, it is
meant to complement not replace the Windows Program Manager or any
other Shell that you might be using.
BTM is available on demand at any moment during your Windows
session. It is only a mouse click or Ctrl+Esc away so you don't
have to search for it on your Desktop.
BTM consists of the following sections:
- A Tool Bar with the commonly used Windows Accessories
- A visual Task List
- A button group for manipulating items in the Task List
- A button group for Desktop Management
- A Runner Bar that remembers
- An Application Strip to launch your favorite applications
- An Information Bar at the bottom of the window
- A pop-up Floating Menu
* DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND AGREEMENT
THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
GOOD DATA PROCESSING PROCEDURE DICTATES THAT ANY SOFTWARE
BE THOROUGHLY TESTED WITH NON-CRITICAL DATA BEFORE RELYING
ON IT. THE USER MUST ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK OF USING THE
SOFTWARE.
IN NO EVENT, WILL THE PROVIDER OR AN AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTOR
OF THE PROVIDER BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
ANY LIABILITY OF THE PROVIDER WILL BE LIMITED EXCLUSIVELY TO
PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF PURCHASE PRICE.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS LICENSE, UNDERSTAND
IT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New Jersey.
It is your responsibility to determine if the program will work
reliably on your equipment and for your particular business
environment. That's why evaluation copies are made available
to you.
BTM 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 BTM and continue to use
BTM after a thirty day trial period, you must register your
copy of BTM.
* DEFINITION OF 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 and sundry 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.

***************************************************************
* WHY REGISTER
These are some of the reasons why you should register BTM:
- When you register BTM you will receive a unique registration
number and a license that will entitle you to use BTM legally
beyond the 30 day evaluation period.
- You will receive the upcoming version (1.0) of BTM free of
charge when it becomes available. (You will also save some
money since the registration fee for version 1.0 will probably
be slightly higher.)
- You will receive a comprehensive printed manual and a disk
with version 1.0 at no charge.
- You will be entitled to free unlimited support. (Limited to
mail support in the time being.)
- As a registered user you will have the opportunity to influence
future development of BTM (including version 1.0) This means
that features that you think would be useful to you might be
incorporated into BTM, making BTM a greater value for you.
- You will receive a registered version of "SOLUS" a board game
for MS Windows 3.x valued at $10.00.
- You will also receive a utility that allows you to exit or
restart Windows at the click of the mouse from an icon on your
desktop. This utility is not available to the general public.
Comparable programs are sold for anywhere from $5.00 to $10.00.
- You will encourage the future development of quality shareware
products, which will translate to overall, high quality and
affordable software products for you, the end user.
Note: We reserve the right to append new items or make changes to
the benefits above as we see fit, without any further notice.
* REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
BTM is licensed on a per user basis. The license grants the user
the right to install and use the software on one or more computers
so long as the total number of users does not exceed the license
quantity.
To register your copy of BTM use the registration form supplied
with this package in the "REGISTER.DOC" file (we recommend that
you use the "Register" option from the BTM System Menu or the
BTM Floating Menu to fill and print the form).
