===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
QUICK START:
------------
In order to make FULL use of this entertaining program, you will need to
read the documentation, which is contained in a file called JAILBIRD.TXT.
But since the program is fairly self-explainatory, you can probably
operate it without any detailed instructions. To start the program,
simply switch to the JAILBIRD subdirectory, type JAILBIRD, and press the
[ENTER] key. You'll find yourself at the input window, where you can
begin typing in your personalized information.
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION:
---------------------------
The documentation file (JAILBIRD.TXT) is formatted for 70-characters per
line, and 60-lines per page. To print the documentation, you can simply
issue the following command from the DOS command line:
COPY JAILBIRD.TXT PRN
- or -
COPY JAILBIRD.TXT LPT1 (or whatever printer port is appropriate)
The documentation file contains form-feed characters, so it can also be
printed by various printing utilities.
Jailbird is Shareware!
---------------------------------------
The registration fee for Jailbird is $19.00 (US). You are entitled to
evaluate Jailbird for a period of up to 30 days. If you continue to use
the program beyond the evaluation period, you are required to purchase a
fully licensed copy, or delete the program from your system.
There is a file named REGISTER.TXT in the distribution file set which
contains the ordering information, and the address to mail your order to.
Simply issue the DOS command "COPY REGISTER.TXT PRN" and press the
[ENTER] key to print the form, fill it out, and mail it (along with your
payment) to the address listed.
The shareware copy of Jailbird that you have is not restricted in any
way. Upon ordering your fully licensed copy, you will receive:
1) A disk containing the most current version of the program.
2) A lifetime license to use the product.
3) Licensed copies of JAILBIRD will display the owners name in
the "ABOUT" window.
4) Licensed copies of JAILBIRD will include additional fonts for
on-screen and printed lettering.
4) Licensed copies of JAILBIRD will not print the "watermark"
on the printed copies.
5) Support via the phone, by fax, mail, CompuServe, and various
other message networks.
6) A 30 day money-back guarantee.
7) Special discounts and online credits for CompuServe.
8) Special discounts on magazines, newsletter, and products from
Public (software) Libraries.
9) Special discounts on Shareware Magazine, one of the industry's
foremost publications, by Mike Callahan (alias Dr. FileFinder)
And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support
the Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality
software at realistic prices.
So what is Shareware?
---------------------
Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and
by copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed
to try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money
back guarantees.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good
and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they
are able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it
takes to launch a traditional retail software product.
The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow shareware
authors to support and continue to develop their products.
Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by
your support!

===== Installation =====================================
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
--------------------
Jailbird requires that the computer have at least a VGA monitor and card,
and a mouse. It should operate under virtually any memory configuration,
but 512k is recommended. DOS v2.1 or higher.
INSTALLATION:
-------------
The installation routine included with this package will test for the
above minimum requirements. If it discovers that your system does not
meet any of these requirements, it will simply stop and exit without
taking any action.
If you have obtained this product on a floppy disk, simply place the disk
in your floppy drive and type A:INSTALL (or B:INSTALL if approprirate)
and press [ENTER].
If you have obtained this product in a ZIP archive format, you should
first extract the files from the ZIP archive into a "temporary"
subdirectory on your hard disk drive (i.e. C:\TEMP). Then you should
switch to that temporary subdirectory, type INSTALL, and then press
[ENTER].
The installation utility will then install the program files and
necessary documentation to a "permanent" subdirectory on your hard drive
(i.e. C:\JBIRD). Once the installation is complete and you have verified
that the program loads and operates, you may delete all of the
installation files from the temporary subdirectory.
COLOR PRINTERS
--------------
Please be aware that due to the vast number of new color-compatible
printers that have been brought to the marketplace recently, we cannot
guarantee that this program will be compatible with all of them,
especially if they use their own specific language and printer codes.
JailBird utilizes a 3rd-party library for all of its printing routines,
and as such we don't have total control over how it interacts with
various printers, nor do we have control over what print languages and
codes are supported in that library.
Unfortunately, all we can recommend is that you try the program with your
printer to see if it works or not.
===== License for Use and Distribution =================
