- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- This package contains Snooper(TM), the System Checker, 3.30, by Vias and
- Associates. This document contains only a brief description of the
- package and its features, along with instructions for its installation.
- Detailed documentation is included, but it is in archived form, and is
- more easily read after installation.
-
- Snooper 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 SNOOPER.DOC 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. 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.
-
- Once you're in Snooper, press F1, then O for ordering information.
- You're welcome to call our tollfree number and order with your credit
- card.
-
- Again, thank you for your interest. We hope to hear from you soon!

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for Snooper is quite simple. You will need
- about 400K of available disk space on the hard drive on which you plan
- to install Snooper. (You can run it from a floppy if you choose.)
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Snooper. If you received Snooper from a disk vendor, you should already
- have installation instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions in
- SNOOPER.DOC under "DOS Installation." Briefly, make a subdirectory (or
- use an existing one) and copy all the files from the diskette to the new
- directory. Type SNOOPER to run the program.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
- which have been installed. In particular, read at least the SNREAD.ME
- file, view the help screens by pressing F1 in the program, and refer to
- the SNOOPER.DOC file for more detailed information. It will give you
- the information you need to properly evaluate Snooper.
-
- Thanks again for your interest in Snooper. We hope you enjoy the
- program.
-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- We encourage individuals, user groups, shareware vendors, and others to
- use, copy, and distribute Snooper in compliance with the following
- restrictions:
-
- * You are hereby granted a limited license to use Snooper for an
- evaluation period not to exceed thirty (30) days. After that period,
- you must either discontinue use of Snooper or register with the
- author (see below).
-
- * You are encouraged to pass Snooper along, but you must distribute
- the program and its related files together, intact and unmodified.
-
- * Don't reproduce the printed documentation in any way.

- Shareware vendors, rack vendors, CD-ROM and book publishers, and other
- businesses are also subject to the following restrictions:
-
- * Your advertisements, catalogs, and other literature must clearly
- explain that the user must pay the author for shareware he or she
- uses, and that the money paid the vendor for the disk does not
- satisfy the user's obligation to the author.
-
- * If the version you have is over six months old, please ensure that
- you have the most current version by downloading Snooper from
- Compuserve or on its support BBS (see the first page of SNOOPER.DOC
- for distribution points).
-
- * If we ask you to stop distributing Snooper, do so.
