WELCOME TO DECISIONS?/!LIGHT.........

We're pleased that you selected Decisions?/!Light as your decision 
support system.  Decisions?/!Light is the limited shareware version 
of Decisions?/!Decisions, the most powerful and complete executive 
decision support software available.

Everything you need to install and use Decisions?/!Light is included 
on this disk. If you want to run the program off this disk just
type: DDLIGHT  If you want to setup and install to your hard disk
just type: SETUP  and follow the instructions on screen. To execute 
the program once installed just type DDLIGHT from the directory you 
have installed it.
 
Now, those of you who feel you need an operator's manual may be 
concerned because you don't see one here.  Well, it's here, but it's 
hiding.  All of the files in your HLP subdirectory are the manual.  
There are two reasons for this.  First, Decisions?/!Light, like 
Decisions?/!Decisions, uses a seven layer, hypertext, context 
sensitive help system.  Essentially, you have an on-line manual. 
Just hit [F1] any time you get lost.

Second, if you really want a hard copy manual, you can print those 
files.  They're all straight ASCII.  As you can see (and you haven't 
even started the program yet) Decisions?/!Light is about as simple 
to use as it gets.

Decisions?/!Light is shareware and, if you like it, we'd like you to 
register it for the low fee of $25.  However, we know that some of 
you will simply not be able to manage on a limited version and will 
want the "real Thing": Decisions?/!Decisions.  Thus, we've tried to 
make it as easy as possible for you to register Decisions?/!Light 
(and receive such important benefits as a real manual and notices of 
upgrades, to name a few) or to order the whole shebang for US$129.


One last thing........

Both Decisions?/!Light and Decisions?/!Decisions can use predefined 
templates or models for specialized decision making.  These models 
allow you to create a template or pattern for your data and 
weightings and apply the same factors and weights each time you run 
the model.  We have included 3 sample models with this program for 
your use.

As time goe on, there will be many more models for making decisions 
on a wide variety of topics.  Some of these models will be business 
or professional subjects, produced for us by experts in their fields 
who are also Decisions?/!Decisions users.  Many of those models will 
be available as shareware, and a few of them will only be available 
directly from us at Dalton Dialogic.

However, many of them will be "fun" models that have little or 
nothing to do with business.  Those will usually be available as 
freeware on the same fine BBS that provide Decisions?/!Light.  But 
if you can't find a board that provides the models, call us at:

               The Computer Insider
               (313) 375-2926
               1200-2400, 7 days, 24 hours

You'll also find a full tech support conference where you can 
discuss your problems (if any) and creative ways to use your 
program.  For your convenience, The Insider supports QwikMail and 
you can download a mail reader (SLMR20.ZIP) if you need one.  That 
way you can download mail and read/reply off line, saving your 
telephone bill.

We at Dalton Dialogic have enjoyed designing Decisions?/!Decisions 
and Decisions?/!Light and hope that it meets our objective of 
helping you make better quality decisions and increasing your  
confidence in your decision making ability.
