About Shareware


LICENCE (Registered User)

You may not transfer the Licence to anyone without the express permission of the author. Please note that the author will give permission, upon application, to transfer the licence to a Registered Charity.

You may only disclose your Registration Number to an accredited representative of the author.  Under no circumstances may you disclose your Registration Number to Unregistered Users of Weights & Measures for Windows (any version).

This Licence Agreement ("Licence") permits you to use one copy of the software on any single computer, provided the software is in use on only one computer at any time.  The Site Licence permits you to have as many copies of the software in use as you have Licences.  The software is in use on a computer when it is loaded into the temporary memory or installed into permanent memory of that computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to other computers is not "in use".  If the anticipated number of users of the software will exceed the number of applicable Licences, then you must have a reasonable process in place to assure that the number of persons using the software concurrently does not exceed the number of Licences.  If the software is permanently installed on the Hard Disk or other storage device of the computer (other than the network server) and one person uses that computer more than 50% of the time it is in use, then that person may also use the software on a portable or home computer.

You may only give copies of the distribution disk to your friends, acquaintances and colleagues.  You may not, under any circumstances, distribute copies of the programs contained on your Hard or Fixed Disk.

If any of the Conversion Factors are found to be incorrect, all Registered Users of J.Q.L. Weights & Measures (any version) for Windows will receive a free upgraded copy of the latest version with the corrections included.

Setting Up
SETTING UP J.Q.L. WEIGHTS & MEASURES

First you need to set up W&M to run on your computer

Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or greater, (from now on referred to as Windows), must be installed and running on your computer before you can start W&M. For information on installing and using Windows, please see the Windows documentation.

1. 	Switch on your computer and monitor.

2. 	Start Windows.  If Windows is not running, type  win  at the command prompt ( the C:> prompt) and press ENTER.

3.	Open the Windows Program Manager window. If the Windows Program Manager window is not open, then double-click on the Program Manager icon, (or press CTRL+ESC to display the Windows Task List, then press the DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW key until the Program Manager item is highlighted, then press ENTER).

4.	Insert the W&M program disk into your floppy disk drive (if you are using a 5 1/4 inch disk or a drive that has a door, then close the disk drive door).

5.	From the Program Manager window, click on the word FILE to open the menu and click on RUN, (or press ALT+F, and press the R key).

6.	In the Command Line box, type   a:\setup  (If you are using a different drive to drive A, then type the correct drive letter instead of "a". eg if you are using drive B, then type  b:\setup )

7.	Click on the OK button or press ENTER.

8.	Once the Setup Program has loaded, a series of instructions will appear on your screen, just select the options which best match your system and requirements.

9.	W&M will create it's own Program Group in your Program Manager window.

W&M2 was written in Visual Basic 3.0, and therefore requires the Visual Basic Run-time Dynamic Link Library. If VBRUN300.DLL is not in your SYSTEM directory, please copy it from your W&M directory to your SYSTEM directory.

Setup will copy the THREED.VBX and CTL3D.DLL files to your W&M2 directory. Please do not remove them otherwise W&M will not load correctly and an error message will be displayed. Note: These two files are not necessarily compatible with other files of the same name, therefore it is recommended that you leave them in the W&M2 directory.


Using W&M2
USING J.Q.L WEIGHTS AND MEASURES FOR WINDOWS

W&M has been designed to be easy to use and is totally "interactive". Enter the number you wish to convert in the Number to Convert box and as you enter each digit the displays automatically show the converted number depending on the Option Button pressed. As you press each Option Button the displays will change instantaneously to reflect the new Conversion Factor. What could be easier?

First you need to start W&M.

1. 	Switch on your computer and monitor.

2. 	Start Windows. If Windows is not running, type  win at the command prompt ( the C:> prompt) and press ENTER.

3.	Open the Windows Program Manager window. If the Windows Program Manager window is not open, then double-click on the Program Manager icon, (or press CTRL+ESC to display the Windows Task List, then press the DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW key until the Program Manager item is highlighted, then press ENTER).

4.	From the Program Manager window double-click on the W&M program group, (or press CTRL+TAB until the W&M program group is highlighted). Click on the W&M icon, (or use the ARROW keys to highlight the W&M icon and then press ENTER). The W&M Tool Bar will be displayed.  Move the Tool Bar to a suitable part of the screen.

Shareware
MORE ABOUT SHAREWARE

"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 a simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with a 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 distributed 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 wallet, 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."


THE BUG FORM

Even the best programs contain "bugs", and my guess is that this program is no exception.  Although I have tried extremely hard to ensure that this program works "bug" free, I am sure that under certain circumstances it may not operate quite as planned.

If you find any "bugs" in the program, please would you complete this form and return it to me. If the "bug" is an incorrect Conversion Factor, All Registered Users of J.Q.L. Weights & Measures 2 will receive a free upgraded copy with the corrections included.

Do not move or delete (unless you are removing W&M2 from your computer) the files CTL3D.DLL and THREED.VBX from the W&M directory otherwise W&M2 or other programs may not function correctly.

This is one of Microsoft's famous (infamous?) "Undocumented Features" - thank you Microsoft?!. Hopefully they'll fix this with Windows 4 (aka Chicago) but don't hold your breath.

If you decide not to register Weights & Measures for Windows - though I can't think why! This list will help you remove the program and its files from your system.
