NOTICE TO SHAREWARE LIBRARIES, DISK VENDORS AND SOFTWARE LIBRARIES

This file contains information for Shareware Distributors and Disk Vendors
who wish to distribute this software.

You have the permission of the author to include this software in your
Software library or on your CD-ROMs, however, please contact the author
before you do so to ensure that you use the latest version.

When copying this software onto distribution disks or CD's, please ensure
that ALL files are copied. A simple COPY *.* will do this. The author has
experienced customers who have obtained incomplete versions of this software
from CD-ROMs. Please make sure that when creating CD-ROMs, you obtain the
latest distribution version from the author and copy all the files supplied.
Failure to do so not only affects my reputation as a software supplier, but
it also affects your reputation too.

The installer supplied with this software is not disk label dependent,
disk sector dependent and does not require write access to itself, so may be
freely copied onto diskettes, hard disks or CD-ROMs, but it does require
that ALL files are copied.

Please do not attempt to replace the installer with your own: this software
is integrated with the installer (for software protection reasons) and will
NOT work with any other installer.

You are specifically prohibited from charging or requesting donations for
any copies of this software, other than to cover your costs for copying and
distribution.

LONGER DESCRIPTION

Setup Builder is a professional Windows 3.1 application for creating and
maintaining Windows Hosted installation procedures and is designed for
developers or software distributors who wish to provide that
'professional' touch to the installation of their software. The
interpreter part of the product can also be used to run Windows hosted
DOS-like batch files using the script language supported.

Forget about distributing Microsoft's 1/2 Mb offering just to install
a 100-200K executable! This product uses about 270K of diskette space and is
highly tailorable and doesn't require the user to get involved with C/C++, 
Visual Basic or .DLLs in order to create install disks. In fact you don't
even need any third party products at all.
