the decompression is finished, type "INSTALL". Instructions will appear.

the files you should have after decompressing of "TF21.ZIP" are listed
directly below.

ON-LINE MANUAL:
The Registered Shareware Version has an On-Line Manual built in ! The
Commercial Version of Time Frame v2.1 has an On-Line Manual, which is
even larger - 107 pages - to cover all the enhanced capabilities of
that version.Press "F1" again and the first page of the On-Line Manual
appears. Hot keys jump by Subject, Chapter, Page, or Index. The Manual
stays on the page where you left it in the same session,(so any later
access allows you to return to the same page instantly). A table is
displayed on the bottom of the screen (when using the manual) which
lists Hot Keys for instant "navigation". Up/Down arrows are used to
view a page (as pages are longer than the screen). Print Manual page/s
to any output Device !
The Manual for the Commercial Version even includes an entire chapter
on what you can do to speed up your computer using free techniques &
software.
*12. Index Rebuild; most database programs force you to enter complicated
command- line instructions to reindex your database files if the index
files become confused due to power failure, etc. With Time Frame, you
can still get into the Main Menu even if these index files need to be
rebuilt - and then offers you a menu option to reindex these files.
*13. Printer / Display Colors: Time Frame's reports will work with any
printer; setup strings are user-definable. Additionally,Time Frame has
a color setting utility for changing display colors, so the system is
truly customizable !

The Shareware version of Time Frame is supplied as is. The author
disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limit-
ation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author/s assume no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
which may result from the use of Time Frame.
Time Frame is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
user for evaluation.Feel free to share the file TF21.ZIP with friends,but
please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The ess-
ence 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 you are using Time Frame and continue to use Time
Frame after a reasonable trial period of 30 days, you must make a regist-
ration payment of $25.00 to Kruse Control Software. The $25.00 registrat-
ion fee will license 1 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,so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another, just as a
book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of Time Frame must register and pay for their copies of
Time Frame within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.Site
License arrangements may be made by contacting Kruse Control Software.
Anyone distributing Time Frame for any kind of remuneration must first
contact Kruse Control at the address below for authorization. This auth-
orization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
(ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering Time Frame immediately. (However, Kruse
Control must still be advised, so the distributor can be kept up to date
with our latest version of Time Frame.)
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Time Frame (THE TF21.ZIP FILE *ONLY)
along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find they can use it. All registered users will then
be able to get:
1. The Newest REGISTERED Shareware Version, with THEIR NAME ( or
whatever) on screen 1 rather than the "30 Day Trial Sofware"
message !
2. A fully printed User's Manual
3. A built-in On-Line Manual
4. A $50 discount upgrade offer for the Commercial Version !
