POST INSTALLATION INFORMATION
-----------------------------
Once the basic program installation is complete, the PRL program will
automatically load and configure itself. This can be a lengthy process but
only the very first time the program is loaded. Following that, the program
will load much faster.
To start the program in the future, you should switch to the subdirectory
where you installed the program (i.e. \PRL), type ROUTE, and then press
[ENTER]. If the program is the shareware/evaluation version, a shareware
and registration reminder screen will appear. After reading this screen
carefully, press any key to proceed. A title and copyright screen will be
displayed, along with the program Main Menu.
Please refer to the files WHATSNEW.xxx files (where "xxx" represents the
product release version number) for information regarding new program
changes, features, and enhancements.
QUICK START
-----------
In order to make FULL use of this program, you will need to read the
manual, which is supplied as the file MANUAL.TXT. However, to get started
quickly just to see what the program looks like, simply switch to the
subdirectory where you have installed the program files (i.e. CD PRL), type
ROUTE and press [ENTER]. The program contains context-sensitive Help which
you can call by pressing the [F1] key.
COLOR/MONOCHROME MONITORS
-------------------------
This program will check to see if you have a color video card installed in
your computer. If it finds one, it will automatically set the screen
display to the color settings. If it finds a monochrome video card, it will
automatically set the screen display to the monochrome settings. If you are
using a color card with a monochrome monitor, the program may not display
properly. However, you can go back to the DOS prompt and restart the
program using the command ROUTE M to restart the program in forced
monochrome mode.
USER'S MANUAL & ORDER FORM
--------------------------
To View or Print the order form, move to the far right, select the
UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key, select the
"Order Form" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to view the order
form before you print it. Alternately, you can print it from outside the
program, from the DOS command line. Just change to the directory in which
the ORDER.TXT file resides. Then enter the following command:
COPY ORDER.TXT PRN
The User's Manual is included in a file called MANUAL.TXT. It can also be
printed either from the menu option, or from the DOS command line. To print
it from DOS, change to the directory in which the MANUAL.TXT file resides.
Then enter the following command to print the manual:
COPY MANUAL.TXT PRN
To View or Print the manual from within the program, move to the far right,
select the UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key,
select the "User's Manual" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to
view the manual on screen before you print it.
PAPER ROUTE LEDGER IS SHAREWARE!
-----------------------------------
The cost of the fully-licensed version of Paper Route Ledger is $19.00
(US). You are entitled to evaluate Paper Route Ledger for a period of up to
30 days. If after that time you intend to continue to use the program you
are legally required to purchase a fully licensed copy. If you do not
intend to continue using the program, you must delete it from your system.
The shareware/evaluation version of Paper Route Ledger that you have is not

the fully licensed version of the product, you will receive:
1) A disk containing the most current version of the program.
2) A lifetime license to use the product.
3) Your registered copy of the program will display your name on
the main program screen.
4) Support via telephone, BBS, mail, email via CompuServe, and email

And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support the
Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality software
at realistic prices.
SO WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
---------------------
Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by
copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed to
try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back
guarantees.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good
and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
You benefit because you get to actually use the software, on your own
computer system, in order to determine whether it meets your needs - before
you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are able to get their
products into your hands without the enormous expense it takes to launch a
traditional retail software product.
The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to purchase licensed copiesof the
shareware products that you use. The purchase of fully licensed products is
what allows shareware authors to support and continue to develop and
improve their products.
Please show your support for shareware by purchasing licensed copies of
those programs you actually use. Shareware is kept alive by your support!
