- 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
- respect may vary from state to state.
