░░░│ Hello, and welcome to the PC-WREAD documentation!
░░░│
░░░│ In just a moment, we'll take you right into that documentation;
░░░│ first, though, let's explain how you move around in the document.
░░░│
░░░│ All the active keys will be continually displayed along the bottom
░░░│ line--you see them there now. They are the usual movement keys:
░░░│
░░░│ ∙ the four cursor keys (plus Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right);
░░░│ ∙ the PageUp and PageDown keys; and,
░░░│ ∙ the Home and End keys.
░░░│
░░░│ The Esc key is the Exit key.
░░░│
░░░│ By and large, everything does what you might expect it should: the
░░░│ cursor keys scroll one line or column at a time, the Page keys scroll
░░░│ one screenful at a time, and Home and End jump to the top and bottom--
░░░│ respectively--of the document. (Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right jump 10
░░░│ columns at a time.) And Esc returns you peacefully to DOS.
░░░│
░░░│ To see this document as was intended, use just the Page keys.
░░░└─────────────────────────────────────────────────

║ PC-WREAD: Its Legal Status ║
╚════════════════════════════════╝
Please be sure to read this section!
PC-WREAD is a "shareware" product. Its author retains the copyright and
all rights in the program, including the exclusive right to license its
use by others.
The author hereby grants you the following limited license:
You may install and use this program without notification or
payment in any amount to the copyright holder, provided such use
does not extend longer than thirty (30) days from the date of
first installation; by no later than the end of the aforesaid
period, you must either register the program by notifying the
author of your intent and paying the registration fee or else
remove the program from your system and thereby cease using it.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
It is the intent of this license that you have an opportunity to
evaluate the program and its suitability for your needs before
having to decide whether or not to purchase a full license. You
are permitted, and indeed encouraged, to distribute this program
to others, subject to the folowing conditions: all files in the
original distribution package--SEE.EXE, SEEDOC.EXE, SEEDOC.TXT,
COLORS.DOC, and README.1ST--must be distributed together, each
unaltered in any way whatsoever, and not bundled with any other
programs; you may not charge any fee for the distribution, except
that established user's groups may charge a nominal amount (not
to exceed ten dollars); and you must not represent, explicitly or
implicitly, that any recipient is receiving any rights in this
program beyond this shareware limited license.
Registration will bring you the following: a slightly augmented version of
the program (described more fully below); a license to use the program and
any successor versions in perpetuity at any one site (multiple-site
licensing is available at moderate incremental costs); a few modest but
perhaps useful little utilities; the right to--at reasonable hours and for
reasonable periods--harass the author by telephone; the peace of mind that
comes with having fulfilled a moral obligation on the honor system; and
the satisfaction of having helped support the shareware concept.
Registration for a single site is $10; if, however, you send along a
diskette in a suitable mailer, or do not require the augmented program,
the cost is only $8. For multiple-site use, the license-fee structure is:
Number Of Sites: License Fee Per Site:
2 - 5 $7
6 - 10 $6
10 - 20 $5
over 20 $4
These figures are registration costs only; distribution diskettes are $2
each, regardless of number of sites.
Please: Bear in mind that such modest costs for software, representative
of the shareware movement, are only possible if you register the programs
that you use. It is neither honorable nor reasonable to expect "the other
guy" to do it all. There are very few--if any--software needs for which
the best answer is not available in the shareware world.
Whether or not you find this particular program worth registering, please
keep these low prices for high quality possible by supporting shareware
authors.

║ PC-WREAD: What It Does ║
╚════════════════════════════╝
PC-WREAD is a file-viewing tool. It can be used as a general-purpose file
viewer, and it will do that job decently, but candidly it does not have
the full panoply of features that an all-purpose file viewer (such as the
shareware program LIST from Vernon Buerg) should ideally possess.
Rather, PC-WREAD is a special-purpose tool: it was designed to work in
tandem with the highly successful shareware word-processor PC-Write, from
Quicksoft, Inc., although--as described in the Appendix hereto--it can be
of significant use even without PC-Write.
Briefly stated, what PC-WREAD does is present on screen a display of any
file that is exactly the same as the display that PC-Write would show for
that file when displaying in "Hide" mode (font characters invisible).
