REGISTRATION REMINDERS
Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare products are 100% fully
functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real
look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or
not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use
it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you
well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our
products do have a registration reminder screen that appears
whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect
your evaluation of our software.
We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our
software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
call the nice people at our 800 number and register the
software.
When you pay for the shareware you like, you are voting with
your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the
same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more
of what you like will almost magically be developed.
LEGAL MATTERS
Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not
responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held
responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees
you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near
the bottom of this file.
HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE
Use our snazzy setup program...
1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.
(You do have to be in Windows to run WSETUP.EXE)
2) Double-Click on the WSETUP.EXE program or from
Program Manager, using File/Run, type the drive
letter of your floppy drive and wsetup.
ie. a:\wsetup
3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify
an initial directory, or accept the given default.
4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want
to install, do your selections, or just hit the
INSTALL ALL button. Hit the OK button to continue.
******************* MANUAL INSTALL ***********************
If you cannot use the snazzy setup program, and must do a
manual install.....good luck. Basically installing our
products without going through the setup program is
"unsupported", as installation of Windows products does
get tricky. However as to not leave you completely in the
lurch....
1) Most files to be installed by the installation
program end in an underscore "_". The files might be
compressed.
If you received the files on a DISK, the probability
is HIGH that you must expand the files with our
WEXPAND (see below) program before use.
If you received the files packaged in a ZIP file, the
probability is LOW and you may simply rename the
files to the correct name.
If you try to expand a file that was not compressed,
the expand program will NOT give an error message,
and will NOT correctly process the file. In general,
if the output from the expand program is smaller than
the file that went in, the expand program should not
be used.
By examining the files with our Browser (possibly
included with the package) program, or basically any
tool that allows you to look at the file in hex, one
can quickly learn how to determine if the file is
compressed or not. If you can read *any* text in the
morass of funny looking symbols, the file is probably
not compressed. If the characters seem completely
random, then it is probably compressed.
2) The files (generally) must either be expanded into
files with the correct names, or must be renamed,
prior to use.
3) In general, the DLL files should go into your WINDOWS
directory, or else some directory mentioned in your
DOS path statement.
4) The BROWSER.EXE program may be used to view the *.MAN
manual files. It is recommended that you put the
BROWSER program in the same directory you put the DLL
files.
5) You may want to add to the WIN.INI [Extensions]
section the following lines:
MAN=BROWSER.EXE ^.MAN
HLP=WINHELP ^.HLP
WBT=WINBATCH.EXE ^.WBT
*** USING THE WEXPAND PROGRAM ***
Example:
The installation diskette is inserted into your A: floppy
drive
You wish to expand the WININFO.EX_ file. At the DOS prompt
type...
WEXPAND.EXE WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE
Make sure the output file (WININFO.EXE in this case) is
LARGER than the input file (WININFO.EX_), otherwise the
file was not compressed, and should be renamed as follows:
REN WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE
UN-INSTALL INFORMATION
The snazzy setup program will create a DOS batch file -
UNINSTAL.BAT in the target directory that will un-install the
product just installed.
You may either review the batch file and perform a manual
uninstall, or, if you have not installed any products *after*
installing this product, go ahead and run the batch file.
If you have installed several products before deciding to
uninstall this, the uninstall will *generally* work
successfully. The only problem that occurs is when this
product uninstalls a file that the other products use.
In general, this will only be a problem when you install
several of our products, and will be much less of a problem if
you install products from other vendors. If problems occur,
generally all that is required is to re-install the product
that is complaining about the lack of a file.
A quick review of the uninstall batch file, and deleting a line
or two for files you know are used by other products may be all
that is required to successfully run the uninstall.
UPDATE POLICY
Wilson WindowWare frequently updates its products. There are
various kinds of updates, including Major updates, Minor
updates, and bug-fix updates.
Minor and bug-fix updates for our shareware products are free -
- subject only to our reasonable shipping and and handling
charges for disks. As we are not in the disk selling business,
you may find that shareware vendors specializing in disk sales
can easily sell disks cheaper than we can. On the other hand,
we *always* have the most recent versions of our software. Our
shipping and handling charges for update disks are as follows:
10.00 US and Canada for the first product.
5.00 US and Canada for each additional product.
9.50 Surcharge for shipping outside of US and Canada.
If you obtain a minor or bug-fix update from Compuserve or
other online service, a BBS, a shareware disk vendor or from
another source, there is no charge from us (of course you will
have to pay the on-line service fees, disk vendors fees, or at
least pay your phone bill for downloading from a BBS). In
addition, you may use a single disk to update any number of
copies of a product.
The policy and pricing for Major shareware updates vary.
Depending on the nature of the upgrade, length of time since
the previous major upgrade, desirability of new features added,
the extent of revisions to the printed manuals (if any), work
involved and possible price changes for new users, we may or
may not charge fees. Since it is difficult to determine what
the cost of future major updates will be, and since we do not
wish to commit ourselves to the uncertainty of the future, we
have provided information on the cost of major past updates
here so that you can see our track record, and possibly feel
reassured about the future.
