(NOTE: You will find cost and other details of how to register detailed in
the file REGISTER.DOC).
This package is a SHAREWARE version of the Odyssey Communications program.
It has been provided to allow you to fully evaluate the usefulness of the
Odyssey package BEFORE spending your hard earned pennies.
Please remember that SHAREWARE does NOT mean "Free Software", and it
definitely does NOT mean that Odyssey is in the public domain. The purpose
of the Odyssey shareware version is solely to allow you to decide whether
or not Odyssey meets your needs. If it does, then we expect you to pay for
it! If you downloaded the package from a BBS, then you have not paid for
it, whether or not the BBS has connect charges. If you got the program
from a disk vendor, then you have NOT paid for Odyssey - you only paid
for the disk.
You are hereby granted a limited license to use and evaluate Odyssey
Shareware Version for 30 days. If at the end of that time you no longer wish
to use Odyssey then either remove it from your PC, or give it away. If you
continue to use it you MUST register your copy with Shareware Publishing
(address below - also see REGISTER.DOC for address, cost and order form).
You may not include the shareware version of Odyssey with any other product,
whether hardware or software, without specific permission in writing from
Shareware Publishing, or the authors. For example, you may not bundle Odyssey
Shareware Version on a disk with any computer you sell, nor may you include
it with any software you distribute, whether or not that software is paid
for.
You are however encouraged to give copies of this package to friends, or
upload it to a BBS provided:-
o The files are packaged as you got them.
o You make no charge for providing the copy, although you may ask for
the disk to be replaced, or an equivalent charge of no more than
£1.00.
o If uploading to a BBS, that no charge is made for downloading
the software. Note: It is ok to upload to a BBS that has connect
charges, provided that no special charge is made for downloading
the Odyssey program.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNPACKING.
If you downloaded Odyssey Shareware Version from a BBS, then it probably
came as a file called ODY200SH.ZIP, and contained the following files:-
ODY200SH.LZH - Odyssey Shareware Program - archived.
INSTALL.EXE - Odyssey Installation Program.
README.DOC - You are reading it now.
LICENSE.DOC - License terms and conditions.
DISTRIB.DOC - Who can distribute Odyssey, and to whom.
REGISTER.DOC - Publisher address, Odyssey cost, and order
form.
You may if you wish now unpack the LZH file using LHARC, however the
reason for packing the files in this way is to make it easier for you to
install, using the supplied installation program, which will also create
the necessary configuration files etc. Here's how to to use the install
program:-
1. Change to the drive/directory containing the above files.
4. run INSTALL.
For example, if the files came on a floppy, then (pressing <Enter> after each
line) :-
a: -- change to your floppy drive.
install -- start the install program.
INSTALL will ask you for any details it requires during installation, such
as what directory to use, what port your modem is connected to, etc. When
it's done you are ready to go. Enjoy your evaluation period! Remember to
read ODY151SH.DOC for summarised info on using the package.
