│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │

│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

This is actually a sample VENDINFO file, though it's about a real
product. This example is probably pretty large, as VENDINFO files
go, because its author is one of the wordy ones. By way of
comparison, though, the files it replaces took up 49K bytes. :-)

This package contains the InContext(TM) Work Environment Manager
(Version 1.10), by Rams' Island Software. This document contains
only a very brief description of the package and its features, along
with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation
is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more
easily read after installation.
InContext is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see INCONTXT.DOC for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
REGISTER.DOC for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.
See the file WHATSNEW.DOC for information about new features and bug
fixes in this version.

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for InContext is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 1M of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install InContext. After the
installation, you can implement space-saving measures to substantially
reduce the amount of continuing disk space used by InContext, if you
like.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
InContext.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place InContext distribution diskette "Disk 1" in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the InContext files to that directory. If you received InContext
on two diskettes, you will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette
drive when asked to do so. If you so direct it, the installation
program will install executable programs and documentation in
other directories of your choice. It will make no other changes;
specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded InContext from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the InContext package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the InContext files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed InContext
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
read at least the "Overview" and "Quick Start" sections of the file
"INCONTXT.DOC". That document will tell you how to invoke the program,
and will give you other information you need to properly evaluate
InContext. We hope you enjoy the program.
----- Reviews of InContext ------------------------------------------
InContext is Different
"This program is probably unlike any other shell you have ever
encountered." -- Alternative Software Bulletin
"The program is different in concept, design and implementation than
anything I've seen." -- Public Brand Systems
"InContext is different, being a full-blown implementation of
object-oriented operation atop a DOS context" -- Factsheet Five
A Good Concept, with Attention to Detail
"I suppose InContext could be called a DOS shell, file manager, and
time planner, since it provides many functions that are common to each.
Yet it's probably unlike any other shell you have ever encountered.
While DOS shells abound, this one has had an exceptional amount of
thought and planning behind it." -- Alternative Software Bulletin
"The functions are all well integrated, which provides for very smooth
operation. The manual is excellent, as is the hypertext help system
and tutorial that are built into the program. The installation program
is a model of what all authors should provide with their software."
-- Alternative Software Bulletin
"InContext has the best user manual I've seen in the industry."
-- Dennis Scarff, Product Reviewer, Public Brand Software
In Summary...
"InContext provides a refreshing new way to organize your computer
work environment." -- Steve Enzer, Alternative Software Bulletin
"[InContext is] a truly flexible and worthwhile environment to work
within. A very impressive package." -- Mike Gunderloy, Factsheet Five
----- Intended User -------------------------------------------------
InContext will be beneficial especially to three kinds of user:
o Moderately or highly experienced users who use their computers
for multiple purposes or applications. Expert users take note!
No other available DOS shell or work environment manager provides
as much power and control as InContext.
o Relatively inexperienced users who want a single work environment
which will provide basic capabilities, but will "grow" as they
learn more about PCs and DOS.
o Experienced personnel who wish to set up computer-based work
environments for other users, regardless of the experience level
of those users. Under these circumstances, InContext provides
much more power and flexibility than other applicable approaches.
PC consultants, MIS managers, and hardware dealers take note!
InContext may be just the tool you need to allow you to set up
customized work environments for your customers.
