=================================================
PC-BW V1.0
=================================================
Purpose:
PC-BW is designed for those who use a black and white display
with the IBM colour graphics adaptor (or equivalent). The
program intercepts requests to `set operational mode' and
substitutes the equivalent black and white mode for each
colour mode request. This will improve the clarity of the
display for many programs which use the colour capability.
PC-BW works with DOS 1.1 and DOS 2.0, and with the IBM PC and
the PC-XT.
PC-BW works with all programs in your system. It can be used
in conjunction with any of the other programs on this disk,
and should work with any other program.
In case of problems with other DOS resident programs, execute
PC-BW last. If operation is still incorrect, please report
problems to Datamorphics Ltd. at the address given below.
Installation:
The distribution disk contains three PC-BW related files:
- PC-BW.COM This file instals the colour
modification program in your system. The program executes as
an extension to DOS. It is permanently resident and occupies
128 bytes of memory. This program works with DOS 1.1 and DOS
2.0.
- PC-BW.D11 This file instals the colour
modification program in your DOS 1.1 system. It is identical
to PC-BW.COM except that it is further optimised to reduce
space required in your DOS 1.1 system. We assume that if you
are running DOS 1.1 then your memory space is valuable to
you. This version occupies only 48 bytes of memory. NOTE THAT
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH DOS 2.0. To use this version, copy it
to your operational disk and rename it to PC-BW.COM.
- PC-BW.DOC This file contains documentation
for PC-BW.
To use PC-BW, we suggest that you copy PC-BW.COM (or
PC-BW.D11) to your DOS disk.
PC-BW should be executed only once per session, usually just
after the system is booted.
Operation:
PC-BW.COM should only be executed once, usually just after
the system is booted. It can be incorporated in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, if desired. On execution, the program will
be made resident above DOS:

Payment:
This subsystem is one of three on the distribution diskette.
If you find this, or any of the others, to be valuable on
your personal computer, please submit a payment of $20.00
together with your name and address to -
Datamorphics Ltd.,
P.O. Box 820,
Stittsville,
Ontario,
Canada K0A 3G0.
Registered users will be kept informed of updates and new
software available from Datamorphics Ltd.
Regardless of whether you decide to pay for this program, you
are encouraged to copy the distribution diskette and pass it
on to friends and associates, provided only that you
distribute the complete contents of the diskette, and do not
modify the programs or charge for distribution (except for
diskette costs).
User Supported Software:
This program is part of the User Supported Software
experiment. Its objectives are:
1. To permit users to evaluate a software package at
leisure on their own systems before deciding whether or not
to purchase it.
2. To offer an alternate means of distribution which
benefits both user and publisher: The publisher benefits from
low distribution and advertising costs. This saving is passed
on to the user in two ways - a lower price; and the
availability of small packages which could not be published
cost effectively through traditional channels.
3. To provide a means of software distribution which
encourages rather than restricts the copying and casual
distribution of programs. This distribution system we believe
to be more suited to the electronic medium than the
traditional systems which seek to restrict access to software
packages.
To Obtain a Copy of PC-BW:
If you would like a copy of PC-BW, but do not have access to
it via a friend or acquaintance, the program and
documentation can be obtained from the above address upon
payment of $20.00.
PLEASE NOTE that due to the low price of this software, and
the costs of mailing and handling, Datamorphics Ltd. will
only distribute this program directly on pre-payment of the
$20.00 license fee.
