| Welcome to the Shareware revolution. This remarkable method of software |
| distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and Andrew Fluegelman. |
| It has become a major force in the software industry, helping to reduce |
| software prices and eliminate copy protection schemes. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
HERE'S HOW SHAREWARE WORKS:
You are encouraged to copy the PRGCYCLE discs and share them freely with
others. You have the luxury of trying out the complete programs, at your own
pace and in the comfort of your own home or workplace. This is not a crippled
or demo copy, but the complete working version of the program.
After you have used PRGCYCLE for a reasonable evaluation period (not to
exceed 30 days) you must either stop using it or buy a licensed copy from
Computer & Technical Services or from an authorised dealer.
Why pay at all?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* You receive the most CURRENT copy of the program
* You receive the printed manual
* Access to telephone hotline support
* Notification of updates and new products
* Customised label formats for a small additional charge
* Support for different printer types
* Inexpensive updates (typically 1/3 the retail price)
* Periodic special price offers (for our registered users only)
* Your input and ideas help shape future products
* A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly participated
in the Shareware revolution
* The satisfaction of helping to keep software prices down, by supporting
a distribution method which doesn't depend on expensive advertising
campaigns
So please dive in and enjoy the fun of legally sharing good software with
your friends and associates. The following restrictions are designed to
protect the community of Shareware users and to prevent others from taking
unfair advantage of the trust, hard work, and good will of Shareware authors.
Exceptions to these conditions must be received in writing from Computer and
Technical Services.
+-----------------------------+
| DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS |
+-----------------------------+
1. Disk vendors (those who sell Shareware disks for a profit) must follow
the procedure outlined in the "VENDOR.DOC" file.
2. You may not charge more than a nominal sum per diskette.
3. The files and programs on the disks may not be modified or deleted.
4. The programs cannot be sold as part of some other more inclusive package.
5. The programs cannot be rented or leased to others.
6. When distributed via a telecommunications link, all programs
(and documentation files) should be transferred in a library or archive
format. This means that all the files on each disk may be
combined into one file.
+-------------------------+
| INSTALLING CAPABILITY |
+-------------------------+
PRGCYCLE requires a hard disk, DOS 3.1 or higher and MS Windows version 3.0 or
higher, VGA or Better display.
The PRGCYCLE files are compressed using the MS Compress program.
INSTALLING TO A HARD DRIVE
The SETUP program is provided to uncompress these files and install
PRGCYCLE into your system. To install the programs, put the program
disk into your A: disk drive and from the program manager File menu, select
Run. Enter A:SETUP and click OK.
SETUP creates a subdirectory on your hard disk and copies the necessary
programs and files into that subdirectory.
The program can be installed manually, by expanding the files MSAFINX.DL_ and
VBRUN300.DL_ to MSAFINX.DLL and VBRUN300.DLL in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory
and creating a directory for the program where PRGPRJCT.EX_ and PRGCYCLE.TX_
should be expanded to PRGPRJCT.EXE and PRGCYCLE.TXT
The program PRGPRJCT can then be added to a program manager group.
