- CaseLinr is a Windows 3.1 ONLY program which prints case liners (a.k.a.
- J-Cards) for audio cassettes -- including DAT. The image displayed on the
- CRT screen approximates what will actually be printed. The printed result
- is extremely accurate and can be cut, folded, and then inserted into an empty
- (preferably clear plastic) audio cassette box.
-
- This version of CaseLinr includes an installation program. To install
- CaseLinr run the program setup.exe from Windows. The installation program
- will install CaseLinr in a directory of your choice and create a Program
- Manager group and several items. CaseLinr will also install ctl3d.dll into
- your Windows system directory (normally this is c:\windows\system) ONLY if
- you do not already have this file or if your version of this files is older
- than the one included with CaseLinr.
-
- For help about CaseLinr, read the online help available under the help menu.

-
- CaseLinr is Shareware. It is NOT FREE SOFTWARE, but it is also NOT
- Crippleware. It is fully functional and does not contain any randomly
- appearing oversized dialog boxes with insulting messages, charge card
- graphics, or floating buttons. If you like CaseLinr and find it useful,
- you are requested to support it by registering (i.e. sending me money).
- If you have registered a previous version, you don't have to re-register this
- version. However, if you feel a burning desire to send me more money, I will
- not refuse it! All suggestions, comments, criticisms, and modification
- requests are welcome -- those coming from registered users will have priority.
