- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains the recipe management program, MicroCook, by
- NORSKi Software. This document contains only a brief description of the
- package and its features, along with instructions for its installation.
- Quite detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in
- archived form, and is more easily read after installation.
-
- MicroCook is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
- features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
- for up to 30 days, without charge (see READ1ST.TXT for more details). If
- you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation
- period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.TXT for
- more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors,
- dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their
- copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued
- use of the program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- To register, select the Register function from the Print menu in
- MicroCook. There the choice of registration method can be selected, and
- printed. When you register you will receive a small "key file" with the
- serial number and your name. Place this file in the SAME directory as
- MCOOK.EXE. This file is for YOU only, and must NOT be distributed
- with any copies you give to your friends or upload to BBS's (which
- you are encouraged to do). The Key disables all the "Please Register!"
- messages and the limit of displayed recipes in the Index listing. I added
- these "features" as reminders to unregistered users, not to harass them.
- The unregistered version and the registered version are identical in
- functions, except for these messages and index limit. Also included with
- the registered version are 2,000 free recipes. You can also run the
- REGISTER program from the DOS prompt, or from FILE/RUN in Windows.
- Serial number and Control number can be sent to you via e-mail if
- registering with SWREG, PsL, or when a check has been received. To print
- out the documentation included with MicroCook, use the File Manager from
- the Tool menu in MicroCook. There you can select any of the TXT files
- that are included with MicroCook, and both read and print them. To print
- the manual, select "Manual" under the Print Menu in MicroCook. This will
- format the manual better. If you are printing to a continuous feed
- printer (DOT-Matrix), you should locate the first page perforation about
- 1 inch above where the print head is located.

- MicroCook.
-
- IMPORTANT!!! MCOOKxxx.ZIP has been ZIPped with a registered version of
- PKZIP, and has an Authenticity Verification built in. So when you
- un-ZIPped the MCOOKxxx.ZIP file, you should have seen a -AV after each
- file name, like:
-
- Inflating: MCOOK.EXE -AV
-
- and at the end of un-ZIPping these two lines:
-
- Authentic files Verified: # KEM280
- NORSKI SOFTWARE
-
- The -AV mean that the file pass a checksum that was generated when I
- ZIPped up the file, and that it has NOT been changed since it left my PC.
- If you see the last two lines, it also tell you that ALL the files are
- exactly as they left my PC, and that the MCOOKxxx.ZIP has NOT been
- re-ZIPped or tampered with. Only NORSKi Software has the been assigned
- the ID# KEM280 from PKWARE, and this number can NOT be falsified.
-
- If one of the files do NOT pass the -AV verification, or the last two
- lines are missing or different, SOMEONE HAS CHANGED OR RE-ZIPPED
- MCOOKxxx.ZIP, and COULD have changed some of the files. You should then
- practice Safe Computing and run a virus checking program, just to be on
- the safe side. If you downloaded the MCOOKxxx.ZIP file from a BBS, the
- Sysop there might have added some advertising for his/her BBS as a part
- of the ZIP file. Some shareware distributors also like to add their own
- installation programs too. In those cases, there's probably nothing else
- added, but be safe and do a virus check.
-
- To be sure you have the latest version of MicroCook, log on to NORSKi
- Software's Web page at: http://www.execpc.com/~norski/
- and download MicroCook from there. Guaranteed Virus free!
-
- Happy Computing!
