MegaD V1.01 (C) 1990 John L. Jones, All Rights Reserved.
------------------------------------------------------------
This distribution archive contains the evaluation version of this
program. Although the program itself is completely operational, it does
contain a delay screen that will be activated after MegaD has been used
30 times. This screen is for the purpose of notification only. The
delay screen can be remove by using the Registration option under the
OUTPUT menu. It will reset the counter to it's first run state. MegaD
evaluation version MUST be used on an unprotected disk. If the write
protect tab is set on the disk that it is booted from it will end it's
run at start. It does not contain any other irritants!
The evaluation version of MegaD is just a little particular about
how it likes to run. This is due to a unique method of adding a delay
window after MegaD is used 30 times. Now don't let this scare you away
from using MegaD. You can effectively use the evaluation version of
MegaD forever and never see the delay window. The catch is you have to
attempt to print the registration form within every 30 uses of MegaD.
Wether a printer is attached or not the program usage counter will be
reset ZERO and you are given 30 more uses without ever waiting for the
delay window. The counter is changed within the code of the program when
you attempt to print the registration form. This is why the evaluation
version of MegaD is particular about how it is run. Here are the two
restrictions.
1. The MegaD program must be in the current directory if run from
the CLI or you must use the full path to call MegaD from
another directory. So if you have MegaD in the C: directory It
can be started by C:MegaD. If MegaD is found by the use of a
PATH command it will not function properly, so if the program
resides in the C: directory and it is called by a simple MegaD
it will be started by the operating system but it will not be
able to find the code needed to change the counter, if the code
is not found it will not function.
2. The MegaD program must reside on an unprotected disk. If the
write protect tab is set MegaD will not function. Outside of
the above mentioned items MegaD does not contain any other
irritants!

Unregistered evaluation copies of MegaD include a feature to
generate a registration/order form for you. You must have a printer
attached to your computer in order to complete this.
The "Registration" menu item under the "OUTPUT" menu will open a
requester that you use to fill out the necessary information. After the
information has been entered, use the Print Registration gadget and a
form will be printed for you.
If you do not have a printer you can mail a letter to the address
listed above requesting a registration form to be mailed to you.
