---------------------
- MS-DOS v3.00 or higher
==============================================================
How to use CzarInstall Page 5
---------------------- --------
To setup and install CzarInstall, start the INSTALL.EXE
program from the DOS prompt.
The installation procedure will ask you several questions.
This will give you a good example on how CzarInstall can work
for you as well.
Once you have successfully installed CzarInstall, start the
CREATOR.EXE program. With the Creator program you can create
your very own shareware packages or commercial distribution
disks within minutes.
==============================================================
The Creator Page 6
----------- --------
The Creator is a fully menu driven setup program to create
your distribution packages within minutes.
Minimum Step by Step Instructions:
- Start CREATOR.EXE
- Select SETUP main menu
- Select GENERAL INFORMATION
- Enter a package file name such as CZINS100. Do not enter an
extension. This file name will be used for creating the
commercial or shareware packages. If you select later to
create a commercial package, extension .001, .002, etc.
will be added. If you select to create a shareware package,
extension .ZIP will be added.
- Enter a Default Path such as \CZARINST. Do not enter a drive
letter. This will be the default path the user will see when
prompted to enter a path to install to. This path can be
changed by the user. The user will see a full path such as
C:\CZARINST depending on what drive letter the user selected
from a list of available drives.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select MASTER FILES
- Select the directory where you master files are located. All
files in this directory will be compressed. The original
files are untouched. If you wish to include subdirectories,
check the "Include Subdirectories" checkbox. This will tell
CzarInstall to create the same directory structure on the
users computer as you have on your computer.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select DISTRIBUTION MEDIA
- Click on either the "Use commercial distribution" or "Use
Shareware" checkbox. Select any other options you might
want to use.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select CREATE DISKS/FILES to create the distribution
package.
Normal Step by Step Instructions:
- Start CREATOR.EXE
- Select SETUP main menu
- Select "General Information"
- Enter the program name such as CzarInstall v1.00
- Enter a package file name such as CZINS100. Do not enter an
extension. This file name will be used for creating the
commercial or shareware packages. If you select later to
create a commercial package, extension .001, .002, etc.
will be added. If you select to create a shareware package,
extension .ZIP will be added.
- Enter a minimum drive space if your program requires it.
If not, enter 0.
- Enter a minimum DOS version. Do not enter a period (.).
For example: 310 for DOS version 3.10 and higher.
- Enter the minimum of FILES required. Use 0 if you not want
to check for FILES.
- Enter the minimum of BUFFERS required. Use 0 if you not want
to check for BUFFERS.
- Enter a Default Path such as \CZARINST. Do not enter a drive
letter. This will be the default path the user will see when
prompted to enter a path to install to. This path can be
changed by the user. The user will see a full path such as
C:\CZARINST depending on what drive letter the user selected
from a list of available drives.
- Enter a program name that you want to run AFTER the
installation is completed. This is best when you want to
run a program that is included in the compressed
distribution package. This can be an .EXE, .COM, or .BAT
file.
- Enter a program name to run BEFORE or AFTER the
installation. If you check the "Give full execution control
checkbox" if you want CzarInstall to run the program and
not come back to the installation.
- Enter a README file such as README.DOC. If this file is in
the same directory as the INSTALL.EXE program, the user
will be able to see a "View README" file button to view it.
Click on the "Force to view README file" checkbox if you
want to force the user to view the file right at the
beginning of the installation procedure.
- Click on the "Change to directory when done" checkbox when
you want CzarInstall to exit to the installation path
entered by the user.
- Click on the "Use ANSI wallpaper file INSTALL.SCR" if you
want CzarInstall to use a wallpaper as background during
the installation. You can use any ANSI wallpaper you like
as long as the file is called INSTALL.SCR and is located
in the same directory as INSTALL.EXE. You can not use
animated ANSI files. If you have a full screen background
such as the one that ships with CzarInstall, please read
the Troubleshooting section below.
- Select main menu SETUP
- Select "Hardware Requirements"
- Choose the minimum hardware requirements for your program
- Select main menu SETUP
- Select "Opening Screen", "Information Screen 1",
"Information Screen 2", "Path Screen", and "Ending Screen"
to give the user helpful information. You can use the
INSTALL.DAT file that ships with CzarInstall to get some
helpful tips for these screens.
- Select main menu SETUP
- Select "Copy File(s)". This section is useful when you want
to copy uncompressed files from your distribution package
onto the user's computer. These files must be in the same
directory as INSTALL.EXE. You can copy up to 10 files.
Click on the "Try to copy all listed files" checkbox. If
you do not check this box, the files can be listed but will
not be copied. The format for each file to be copied is as
follows:
|--------Copy from---------| |---Copy To----|
Y/N [INSTALLDISK\|\..|]PATH\FILE [\..|ROOT\]\PATH
Use either Y to overwrite the file if it exists on the
destination path or N if it should not be overwritten.
Use INSTALLDISK to copy from the current path of the
installation. \.. to copy from the path the user entered.
Or, a specific PATH.
Use \.. to copy to the path the user entered. ROOT to
copy to the root directory of the drive the user selected.
Or, a specific PATH.
Example:
Y INSTALLDISK\README.DOC \..
will overwrite the file README.DOC if it exists, copy from
the directory where INSTALL.EXE is locted to the directory
the user entered.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select MASTER FILES
- Select the directory where you master files are located. All
files in this directory will be compressed. The original
files are untouched. If you wish to include subdirectories,
check the "Include Subdirectories" checkbox. This will tell

users computer as you have on your computer.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select DISTRIBUTION MEDIA
- Click on either the "Use commercial distribution" or "Use
Shareware" checkbox. Select any other options you might
want to use.
- Select main menu CREATE
- Select CREATE DISKS/FILES to create the distribution
package.
==============================================================
Troubleshooting Page 7
--------------- --------
Problem 1: The wallpaper does not display correctly when it
*********** use the entire screen.
Cause: Some ANSI drawing packages such as The Draw include
certain ANSI commands at the end of an ANSI file
that are totally unnecessary and make no sense.
For example, codes such as [A (Move cursor up one
row) on line 25 and move to the left x characters
([xD).
Solution 1: Use 24 lines or less for your ANSI screen.
Solution 2: Use a file editor and delete these unnecessary
codes right at the end for the ANSI file yourself.
You should look at file INSTALL.SCR that ships
with CzarInstall to look at the end of the file
and what codes are NOT used. Compare it with
your own ANSI file.
If you encounter any other errors or strange behaviors of
CzarInstall, please call 915-595-8787 or call the support BBS
at 915-595-8705. Only if you report the errors, CzarInstall
can be corrected and improved. While you are reporting
errors, any suggestions are welcome!

Appendix E. What is shareware and how does it work Page 13
-------------------------------------------------- --------
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to
continue using the software to an updated program with
printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with
a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors
are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors,
and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases,
there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
is in the method of distribution. The author specifically
grants the right to copy and distribute the software,
either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
example, some authors require written permission before a
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and
pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The
Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you
don't pay for it.
==============================================================
License Agreement Page 14
----------------- --------
After you have fully registered CzarInstall (see REGISTER.DOC
or CREATOR.EXE) with CZAR Software, you:
- May freely distribute CzarInstall with all your current
and future products
- Are NOT required to pay any royalties to CZAR Software
==============================================================
Warranty Disclaimer Page 15
------------------- --------
Users of CzarInstall must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"CzarInstall is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without
limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness
for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages,
direct or consequential, which may result from the use of
CzarInstall."
This CzarInstall is a "shareware program" and is provided at
no charge to the user for evaluation. The shareware version
of CzarInstall can not be used for commercial, shareware or
any other use other than for evaluation purposes for a
maximum evaluation period of 30 days. Feel free to share the
shareware version of CzarInstall with your friends, but
do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide
personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers
to continue to develop new products. If you find this
program useful and find that you are using CzarInstall and
continue to use CzarInstall after a 30 day trial period,
you must make a registration payment of $34.00 to CZAR
Software. The $34.00 registration fee will license one
copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You
must treat this software just like a book. An example
is that this software may be used by any number of
people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, as long as there is no possibility
of it being used at one location while it is being used
at another, just as a book cannot be read at the same
time by two different persons at two locations.
Commercial users of CzarInstall must register and pay for
their copies of CzarInstall within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may
be made by contacting CZAR Software.
Anyone distributing CzarInstall for any kind of remuneration
must first contact CZAR Software at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering
to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering CzarInstall immediately
(However, CZAR Software must still be advised so that the
distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version
of CzarInstall).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of CzarInstall along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to
register their copy if they find that they can use it.

SOFTWARE NOR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN THE
CREATION, PRODUCTION, OR DELIVERY OF THIS SOFTWARE SHALL
BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE SUCH SOFTWARE EVEN IF

DAMAGES OR CLAIMS. IN NO EVENT SHALL CZAR SOFTWARE'S
LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES EVER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR
THE LICENSE TO USE THE SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF
CLAIM. THE PERSON USING THE SOFTWARE BEARS ALL RISK AS TO
THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE.
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Texas and shall inure to the benefit of CZAR Software and any
successors, administrators, heirs and assigns. Any action or
proceeding brought by either party against the other arising
out of or related to this agreement shall be brought only in
