Sorry about the last version, it had some bugs in it.
TO RUN PROGRAM, RUN THIS FILE: WARE.EXE
1) What does this program do?
Have you ever downloaded or purchased a shareware application or game that has an expiry
date? This means that you can only use the shareware program for a certain amount of time.
"Shareware? Not!" sets the date on your computer to a date that is much earlier than the expiry
date on your shareware application or game, and when you finish using that shareware program it
sets your computer to the current date, enabling you to use the program for as long as you wish!
2) How do I use this program?
"Shareware? Not!" is a standard Windows application. To add a shareware program to the
list of programs you can run, you simply press the "Add" button. This will show a dialog box
where you input the necessary information about the program you wish to run. It will ask you for
the path of your program. That is, where the program is located on your hard drive. Also, it will
ask you for the name of the program. Most importantly, you must select a date to be set when the
program is prompted to run. That is, if the expiry date on the program is December 1, 1996, you
can set the date to January 1, 1980. Press the button "Done" when you are finished. Now the name
of the program will appear on the "Shareware? Not!" main screen (the screen that shows up when
"Shareware? Not!" is run). Click on the name to run the program. Refer to the FAQ for questions.
After using the program, click on the button "Restore". This will restore the current
date back to your computer, and click on the button "Refresh" before running another program
through "Shareware? Not!"
Refer to the section "How do I register this program?" to learn how to be able to run
more than three program through "Shareware? Not!".
3) FAQ:
Q: Why is it that when I click on the name of the program I wish to run, I still get the expiry
date message?
A: On some faster systems (Pentium 100 and higher), "Shareware? Not!" isn't given the time
to change the date on your computer before running the shareware program. To overcome this,
simply click on the name of the program a second time, and the program should then launch.
Q: Sometimes, the current date isn't always restored. How do I get it back?
A: Double click on the date indicator in the "Shareware? Not!" program (above the "Exit" button).
It will prompt you to input the current date, and when finished press the "OK" button to change
the date on your computer.
4) How do I register this program?
By registering this program, you will be able to run as many programs as you want through
"Shareware? Not".
