MultiMedia Tutorial Software
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE & TUTORIAL
________________________________________________________________
***** DEMONSTRATION VERSION *****
EPA TUTOR Ver. 2.00 is the latest version released 14 APRIL 1995.
This software is a complete tutorial and study guide for any person
that may be interested in taking the Environmental Protection Agency
CFC/HCFC Refrigerant Processing Certification Examination.
On November 14, 1994, a Federal Law was put into effect mandating
that all personal distributing, selling, purchasing and handling any
CFC/HCFC refrigerants be certified by the Environmental Protection
Agency. This law also applies to all personnel that may repair
equipment that utilizes these refrigerants.
OVERVIEW OF REGISTERED VERSION
____________________________
The program includes all study material necessary to prepare for the
certification examination that is administered by the Environmental
Protection Agency. It includes over one hundred-fifty questions that
may be found on the actual EPA exam. From the Main Menu of the
program you may pick from fourteen different categories of subject
matter that is revellent to the Ozone Layer, Refrigerants and their
applications, the new regulations concerning the handling, distribu-
-tion, and caution necessary when working with CFC/HCFC refrigerants.
It also contains many useful tips when repairing or servicing
residential and commercial A/C and refrigeration systems.
The full registered version not only gives ALL the pertinent
information necessary to pass TYPE I, TYPE II, TYPE III and/ or
UNIVERSAL certification examination, but it also includes numerous
exam questions that will drill you on the information that you have
studied! Those who registered EPADEMO Ver. 2.0 will receive EPATUTOR
Ver.*.* (whatever the latest version may be at that time) along

regular purchase price of "EPA TUTOR" STUDY GUIDE HARD COPY MANUAL!

those who would like to have a study source when their computer is
not available. This has prompted us to release "EPA TUTOR" in a
hard copy manual. This enables you to study in your truck, car, on
the train or bus, or just about anywhere! It is also a good for a
reference source while working with the software. (But don't peek
at the answers while taking sample exams!) We have included twenty
pages of indexing for the Table of Contents, and included over 200
questions! Sample Exams for Certification Level I, Level II, & III
as well as the Core Exam enableing you to obtain your Universal
Certification!
As a SPECIAL OFFER for those who have registered their version
of "EPA TUTOR", we are making this manual available to them at more

is also available for purchase separately for regular price.($49.95+S&H)

notification of this offer.
COPYRIGHT LAWS
____________________________
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
ENVIRO SPECIALISTS Inc., the author retains all rights, with a few
specific exception as stated below. You are specifically granted
the right to make one copy for back up purposes of the registered
version unmodified, as described in the Disclaimer-Agreement
following. 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.
EPADEMO is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another
system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide
personal computer users with quality software without high prices,
and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop
new products. If you find this program useful and find that you
are using EPADEMO and continue to use EPADEMO after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $59.95 to
ENVIRO SPECIALISTS.
Shareware gives users a legal but limited trial period to test the
software before purchase. EPADEMO Ver. 2.0 in shareware form is
functional and completely free of disabling devices. It also
contains a built in virus checker. If the program is tampered with
or changed in any way from its original form,it may cease to function.
Please call us at (912) 925-7963 if you have any questions.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
_______________________________
Users of EPA TUTOR Ver.2.0 must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"EPA TUTOR Ver. 2.0 is supplied as is. Enviro Specialists Inc. and
the author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied,
including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. Enviro Specialists Inc. and the
author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
which may result from the use of EPA TUTOR Ver. 2.0"
EPADEMO is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
but please do not give it away altered or as part of another
system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide
personal computer users with quality software without high prices,
and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop
new products. If you find this program useful and find that you
are using EPADEMO and continue to use EPADEMO after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $59.95 to
ENVIRO SPECIALISTS. The $59.95 registration fee will license one
copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat
this software just like a book. An example is that this software
may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of
it being used at one location while it's being used at another. It
is just like a book which cannot be read by two different people at
the same time.
Commercial users of EPADEMO must register and pay for their
copies of EPADEMO within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
Enviro Specialists.
Anyone distributing EPADEMO for any kind of renumeration must
first contact Enviro Specialists Inc. for authorization. Enviro
Specialists Inc. should be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of EPADEMO or EPATUTOR.
Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBS(s) may
charge a nominal fee for distribution of the program. The
recipient of EPADEMO must be informed, in advance, that the
fee paid to acquire EPADEMO does not relieve the recipient from
paying the Registration Fee for EPADEMO if the recipient uses
EPADEMO OR EPATUTOR.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of EPADEMO along to your friends
for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if
they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive
a copy of the latest version of the EPADEMO system, if applicable.
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

shareware distributor, or an electronic bulletin board, please
remember that any diskette fee you paid DOES NOT constitute
licensing the software, and you are still obligated to pay the
$49.95 registration fee to ENVIRO SPECIALISTS,Inc. If you decide
to continue using EPADEMO Ver.2.0 beyond the 30 day trial period.
