We do however, encourage you to distribute the Shareware version. THE SHAREWARE VERSION _________________ Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try it before you buy it. And because the overhead is low, prices are low. Shareware as the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.! You may have procured this software from another source such as the libraries on Compuserve, a BBS, a shareware disk vendor, or from a friend. That's fine! We encourage registered users to introduce new users to EPADEMO Ver.2.0 by providing them with an unregistered copy. Try it out for up to 30 days, and if you decide to continue using it, pay the license fee of $59.95. You'll receive a registered copy and other benefits described.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS _________________________________ Graphics programs, especially ones requiring high screen resolution displays, such as VGA or Super VGA, are very memory and speed intensive. EPADEMO & EPATUTOR are no exception. Below, we've listed three types of hardware requirements. You will be most pleased if your requirements match those of the recommended or ideal. Using a cache, such as SMARTDRV.SYS which comes with DOS 5.0 & 6.0, will help increase the speed of image processing. This is NOT a Windows program, but will run in Windows. Minimum Hardware Requirements: Minimum hardware requirements for using EPA TUTOR are an IBM computer (PC, XT, AT, PS/2) or compatible, DOS 3.xx or higher, 512K Conventional RAM memory available when running EPA TUTOR and a VGA or SVGA graphics card with 256K Video Memory. Recommended Hardware Requirements: The recommended hardware requirements for using EPA TUTOR are 386 or 486 computer with 25mhz chip speed or better, 1mb of expanded memory (or extended memory made expanded by DOS 5.0+ or other memory manager soft--ware), 512K Conventional RAM memory available when running EPA TUTOR and a VGA/SVGA graphics card. Ideal Hardware Requirements: The ideal hardware configuration for using EPA TUTOR is a 386,486, or 586 class computer, with 33mhz chip speed or better, DOS 6.2, 2mb of expanded memory, 600K Conventional RAM memory available when running EPA TUTOR and a SVGA graphics card. The program is compatible with any chip set that supports the VESA standard. If you find that you cannot display Super VGA pictures, check to see if your graphics card manufacturer supports the VESA standard. If so, they probably sent you a copy of a VESA driver for their board. Load that driver and then try running EPA TUTOR again. If you still have problems, give us a call. You should always be able to use EPA TUTOR in the standard CGA, EGA and VGA modes regardless of the SVGA chip set(but your graphics may not be as nice) EPA TUTOR V. 2.0 IS A DOS PROGRAM BUT WILL FUNCTION IN WINDOWS A NOTICE TO: USER GROUPS SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTORS ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD OPERATORS CD-ROM VENDORS __________________________________________________ PC user groups, shareware distributors, BBS operators, and CD ROM vendors may add EPADEMO Ver. 2.0 to their libraries.
