│ 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 │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │
│ originators of VENDINFO: │

===== Installation =====================================
Installation
------------
Copy all files from the release disk into a new directory (eg. KITHKIN)
on your hard disk.
Run KITHKIN.EXE from the File Manager or create a new program item in
the Program Manager and double click on the Kith and Kin icon. You can
launch Kith and Kin from a Tree File (.TRE) if you have associated .TRE
files with KITHKIN.EXE in the File Manager. The program (.EXE), help
(.HLP) and options (.OPT/.INI) files must all reside in the same
directory.
To get you off to a flying start using Kith and Kin, read the help topic
"Getting Started". This will lead you through the basics.
The files BWCC.DLL and SS_DATE.DLL should reside in either the KITHKIN
or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories or in another directory in your PATH.
Since BWCC.DLL is a common DLL you may already have it on your system in
which case you need only one copy available.
