ARJ Doc version 1.2
-------------------
(FREEWARE!)
Welcome to my help file reference for ARJ 2.50a. It is intended to
assist users of the ARJ archiver by providing easy reference to ARJ
commands and switches.
LEGAL STUFF
-----------
CAUTION! This Windows help file was compiled from edited and abridged
versions of some of the documentation files distributed with ARJ 2.50a.
Although due care was taken while preparing it, there may be errors of
various kinds, including spelling mistakes, and the contents may be
inaccurate.
ARJ Software has not been involved in this project and has not
authorised or given permission for this help file. Consequently, ARJ
Software is not in any way liable or responsible for the contents or use
of this file.
This help file is supplied as is and without any warranty of any kind,
whether express or implied. The author, Grant Botes, assumes no
liability or responsibility whatsoever for its use, its contents, or any
damage which may be caused by its use.
INSTALLATION
------------
Easy!
1. Extract all the files in the archive to a directory.
2. Run the SETUP program from Windows 3.1 Program Manager (select File |
Run on the menu) or double click it using the File Manager .
No files will be installed to your \Windows or \Windows\System
directories - so the files can be removed by simply deleting the
directory. Default installation is to C:\ARJDOC12. A Program Manager
group and icon will be created.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
- MS WIndows 3.1 (or higher, I suppose - I dunno; I've only tried it in 3.1)
- Mouse (who would try to use Windows without a mouse, anyway?)
- 16 colour or higher vga card + colour monitor
- 600 Kb (approximately) hard drive space
USING ARJ DOC 1.2
-----------------
ARJ Doc is a Windows 3.1 help file. You should be able to run it by
double clicking its group icon, or by double clicking it in the File
Manager.
Full-text search is implemented for easy reference.
POSSIBLE BUGS & PROBLEMS
------------------------
You may find that when using the full-text search feature, searched-for
information from the secondary Table of Contents window is displayed in
the main window. (Although I hope I cleared up all of these design
bugs!)
My display at home is set up for 800 by 600 SVGA 16 million colour
display, so I have no idea how this file is going to display on your
system. Drop me a note, and let me know.
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS
-----------------
ARJ Doc 1.2 is FREEWARE! Anybody in the whole world may use it for
anything they like (it is NOT guaranteed to be fit for any purpose
whatsoever!). The help file says that I retain the copyright to it, but
since the information is taken almost entirely from the docs distributed
with ARJ 2.50a, I'm not sure how well this would stand up to legal
scrutiny. I authored the help file because I wanted an easy, on-line
reference.
I have taken the following files and produced a single Windows help file
out of them:
- INTRO.DOC
- ARJ.DOC
- ERRORS.DOC
- LICENSE.DOC
Be warned, though. The files are NOT 100% intact. First, I had to run
them through a text reformatting program to make them useable. Then I
edited some portions slightly. There may therefore be various kinds of
errors and inaccuracies, including spelling mistakes.
As I've (already!) said, I assume no responsibility or liability for any
damage whatsoever caused by the use of, or the contents of, this help
file. There are no guarantees that it is fit for any use of any kind.
It's free, and so it's provided as is. ARJ Software has not approved the
contents of this file, nor has ARJ Software been consulted or involved
in its creation; accordingly ARJ Software can have no liability or
responsibility for its use or contents, nor for any damage caused by its
use or contents. SEE THE DISCLAIMER IN THE HELP FILE.
Special thanks go to Bernd Herd for developing the Asetup installation
program and making it available as freeware. (I've found that most
people prefer to have a setup program when installing software, rather
than doing a manual installation themselves - go figure!).
Have fun!
