Starting SHIPPERS
At the DOS prompt type SHIPPERS
When SHIPPERS is loaded a registration screen will appear
requesting you to input a code. This code will be given to
you when you register your copy of SHIPPERS with us. Until
you register SHIPPERS just press the ENTER key after reading
each shareware screen. Please note the number on the fourth
screen, you will need to give us this number when registering.
After the fourth screen SHIPPERS will start. A registration
fee of $15.00 will buy a code to bypass all shareware screens.
The First time SHIPPERS is ran a screen requesting company
information will appear. This information will be printed
on the top portion of the shipping labels. The company
information is held in a file named COMPANY.CFG if you need
to change something just delete the file a start SHIPPERS
again.
SHIPPERS automatically loads the font NORMAL 16 when the
program loads. You may load a different font on the command
line. Let's say we want to load the font DOTTIE. We can
do this by starting Picture This with the command line.
