PMdiff version 2.7 release notes (16 February 1994)
______________
INSTALLATION
Run the friendly installation program (install.exe) supplied
with the package. You can install from floppy or hard disk.
The only constraint is that all the PMdiff files must be in
the same source directory.
Should you wish to uninstall PMdiff, simply run the
uninstallation program, uninst.cmd.
______________
GENERAL NOTES
PMdiff makes extensive use of drag and drop. Use it to load
files or change colours and fonts. Experiment with the second
mouse button. It activates a pop-up menu containing many useful
features.
The on-line help is comprehensive, although not all items are
available from General Help. Check out the Help Index to make
sure that you don't miss anything.
Two pairs of sample files are provided:
hippo1.txt, hippo2.txt
and mary1.txt, mary2.txt
You may wish to try comparing these.

EVALUATION VERSION
PMdiff is the result of many months of dedicated development
effort. It exists in evaluation and licensed versions.
The two version are identical, except that the evaluation
version does not allow preferences to be saved. You may
distribute the evaluation version freely, and use it for up to
21 days. If you find it useful then you are asked to register
it. This won't cost you much, and will gain you
* a disk containing the latest licensed version
allowing preferences to be saved
* free support via snail-mail and e-mail
* the satisfaction of supporting good OS/2 software
* a clean conscience
See 'How to register and receive support' in the on-line help
for details about registration. You may like to use the text
file order.frm to help you place your order.
_________________
LICENSED VERSION
The licensed version of PMdiff allows you to save your
preferences between sessions. This is intended as an incentive
to register. [Note: only two (yes, 2) registrations have been
received to date, so this obviously isn't too much of an
incentive :-(]
You may install the licensed version on several machines.
However, you must ensure that only the number of copies
purchased are in use at any given time.
For example, perhaps you have bought only one copy. You can
install it on your desktop office machine, and your laptop. Even
your home machine. But PMdiff must be run on only one of the
machines at any given time.
