   This file contains important information you should read before ordering
   (page 2), and details on all products sold by JP Software (page 7).  To
   save paper and time, our order form is included separately in the file
   ORDER.FRM.  This allows you to view the information in this file on the
   screen if you wish, and print only the actual order form.

   Please read the order information section on page 2 before placing your
   order!  That section explains our order and payment policies.  If you
   don't read over the policies before ordering you may make errors which
   delay your order and result in additional costs to you.

   The license agreement which governs your use of our products is included
   separately in the file LICENSE.DOC (for downloaded copies), or on your
   diskette envelope (for purchased copies).  Please read it before
   ordering.  It is written in plain English, and explains your rights and
   responsibilities as a user of 4DOS, 4OS2, or 4DOS for Windows NT.

   If you live outside the U.S. and Canada you may want to check the list
   of international dealers in this file.  These dealers can often provide
   local service, and may offer faster shipping than we can provide when
   mailing packages from the United States.

   This file is formatted at 58 lines per page, and contains form feeds and
   page footers.  It can be viewed with a file viewer such as the 4DOS or
   4OS2 internal LIST command, or printed using the command:

            copy orderinf.doc prn

   Printing it with a program that formats the pages is not likely to work
   due to the formatting included in the file.

      refund.  If you are dissatisfied with a product we sell which is not

   Order Processing and Shipping

      Orders typically require 2 - 3 business days processing time before
      shipment, and may take more or less depending on our order backlog.

      In the U.S., we generally ship via UPS ground or 3-day select service
      to ensure delivery within 3 days of shipment.  Where appropriate, or
      when requested, we will ship via U.S. Priority or First Class Mail.
      Shipping outside the U.S. is via TNT Mailfast or Air Mail.  The
      delivery time for all countries outside the U.S. is generally 1-2
      weeks.  All delivery times may vary during peak upgrade periods.




   JP Software                   ORDERINF.DOC                        page 2


   Shipping Charges:

      To the U.S. and Canada:  $6 for first item, $1 for each additional
      item.  COD (USA only), add $6 for entire order

      To Alaska and Hawaii:  $12 for first item, $2 for each additional
      item.

      To all other countries:  see tables on page 3 of order form (in the
      file ORDER.FRM).


   Payment Terms:

      We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, checks (MUST be drawn
      on a US bank, and in US funds), money orders, purchase orders (see
      below for policies), and COD shipments.

      We are happy to accept purchase orders from established U.S.
      companies and government agencies.  Our terms are net 30 days.
      Orders under $100 ($200 for international companies) must be prepaid.
      Credit references are required if your company has not previously
      ordered from us on terms.


   Upgrade Policy:

      The upgrade policies listed here apply to the U.S. versions of 4DOS,
      4OS2, 4DOS for Windows NT, and Take Command as purchased from JP
      Software.  Dealers outside the U.S. may establish different upgrade
      policies, check with your dealer for details.  Our products use two-
      or three-digit version numbers.  Maintenance releases are indicated
      by a change in the third digit (e.g. 3.01, 5.52); major upgrades are
      indicated by a change in the other digits (e.g. 6.0).

      You can always purchase both maintenance releases and major upgrades
      from JP Software.  In addition, when you first purchase any of our
      products, maintenance releases and the next major release issued
      after your purchase are downloadable from a variety of sources.  You
      can then convert the downloaded copy to a fully registered copy using
      the BRAND program included in your original package.


   Multi-System Licenses:

      Whether you are a major corporation, a small business, or an
      individual with more than one computer, if you plan to use our
      products on multiple systems you can save money by ordering a multi-
      system license rather than individual copies.  (If all you want to do
      is use 4DOS, 4OS2, 4DOS for Windows NT, or Take Command at work and
      at home you may not need a second copy; see the license agreement in
      the LICENSE.DOC file for details.)



   JP Software                   ORDERINF.DOC                        page 3


      A multi-system license includes a master diskette and one manual.
      Additional manuals are $10 each.  Multi-system licenses may be used
      at any number of physical sites, and on networked or stand-alone
      systems, as long as all support and distribution are handled through
      a single location.  JP Software also offers a simple policy which
      allows you to increase your license size at a reasonable price as you
      add new systems.

      Our pricing structure covers any number of systems and goes well
      beyond what is listed below; you pay only for the number of systems
      actually using the product.  For larger licenses, a variety of custom
      arrangements can be made to meet your specific needs.  A signed
      license agreement is required when licensing 100 or more systems.

      Please contact us if you need more information on licenses, including
      prices not shown in the table below, or multi-system license
      information on BOOT.SYS.

   Ordering From a Dealer:

      You can order our products from the software dealer you or your
      company uses regularly.  If your dealer does not carry the product
      you want, have them special-order it from JP Software at a discount
      to resell to you.  (If you are a dealer see "Resale and Bundling" on
      page 5 for information on obtaining resale copies.)  Our products are
      available on a special-order basis from a number of larger chains,

   Product Information
   -------------------

      This section describes each of JP Software's products, so you know
      what you're getting before you order.

      PLEASE NOTE:  All prices are subject to change without notice.
      Prices for 4DOS, 4OS2, and 4DOS/NT are special 4DOS "fifth
      anniversary" prices, available for a limited time only!  See order
      form for shipping charges.


      Take Command for Windows and Windows NT:

          JP Software's latest product, Take Command, is a complete
          implementation of our advanced command processing technology,
          fully integrated into Windows and Windows NT.  Take Command
          supports the same commands and features available in 4DOS, 4OS2,
          and 4DOS/NT (see below), and we've added dozens of features
          feasible only in a graphical environment.  Take Command comes in
          two versions, one for Windows and one for Windows NT.  Each
          version is $49 alone, or $69 when bundled with 4DOS, 4DOS/NT, or
          another JP Software product.  Take Command for current registered
          users is $29.  Take Command comes with complete online reference
          information and a printed Introduction and Installation guide.
          You can purchase the printed Take Command Reference Manual for
          $10.


      4DOS, 4OS2, and 4DOS for Windows NT:

          4DOS is our "flagship" product.  It is a DOS enhancement utility
          designed to add power, elegance, and flexibility to the DOS
          prompt.  4DOS is a complete replacement for COMMAND.COM, the
          command processor which displays the "C:\> prompt and accepts and
          executes the commands you type.  It offers dozens of features
          beyond those available with DOS alone.  If you aren't familiar
          with what 4DOS is and what it does, take a look at the manual for
          all the details.  It offers you great power while working at the
          DOS prompt and in batch files, makes minimal use of your precious
          memory, and generally makes life with DOS a whole lot easier.  It
          works with all versions of MS-DOS / PC-DOS from 2.0 up, and with
          DR DOS / Novell DOS.

          4OS2 is to OS/2 what 4DOS is to DOS.  It is a complete
          replacement for CMD.EXE, the default OS/2 command processor, and
          brings the full power of 4DOS to OS/2 users.  4OS2 offers all of
          the features of 4DOS, plus additional features designed to
          enhance command processing under OS/2.  When you purchase 4OS2
          you will receive both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions, and you can
          install the version appropriate to your copy of OS/2.  Using 4OS2
          with 4DOS provides a consistent interface in OS/2 character-mode



   JP Software                   ORDERINF.DOC                        page 7


          sessions and the DOS compatibility box (OS/2 1.x) (or DOS
          machines in OS/2).  4OS2 is compatible with OS/2 1.2, 1.3, 2.0,
          2.1, 2.11, and 3.0, including "OS/2 for Windows".

          4DOS and 4OS2 are $49 each including disk, manual (see page 3 for
          details on upgrades).  If you need both products, purchase them
          together for just $69.  If you have one product and want the
          other, the cost is just $29.  Multi-system licenses are also
          available (see page 3).

          4DOS for Windows NT ("4DOS/NT") is a complete replacement for
          CMD.EXE, the default Windows NT command processor, and brings the
          full power of 4DOS to Windows NT users.  4DOS/NT also offers
          additional features designed to enhance command processing under
          Windows NT with its Single Command Shell architecture.  4DOS for
          Windows NT is $49 alone, or $69 when bundled with 4DOS.  4DOS/NT
          for registered 4DOS users is $29.


      4DOS / 4OS2 Utility Disks:

          JP Software offers Utility Disks for registered users only.
          These disks contain the files needed to modify the help text, and
          other useful utilities (see below).  The Utility disks are $10
          each.

          The 4DOS Utility Disk contains the JP Software's 4DOS help text
          and help compiler (4MAKE).  4MAKE is a licensed product offered
          by JP Software, and is available only by purchasing the 4DOS
          Utility Disk.  It allows you to add, modify, or delete
          information in the 4DOS HELP system.  You can use the modified
          help text yourself, and distribute it to other registered 4DOS
          users within your company or organization, but you cannot sell it
          or distribute it publicly.

          Other products on the 4DOS Utility Disk are either shareware or
          freeware, and are available on many BBSes and on-line services.
          We provide these products on the Utility Disk as a service to
          those customers who do not have modems or who prefer to obtain
          software on diskette.  Like all shareware, you must register any
          of the shareware products that you continue to use after a trial
          period.  The shareware and freeware products on the 4DOS Utility
          Disk are:

            *  TSRCOM, TurboPower Software's popular freeware package of
               TSR and memory management and mapping utilities.

            *  A shareware copy of BOOT.SYS, which allows you to select
               your system configuration at boot time.  See page 10 for
               details on this product.

            *  A shareware copy of 4EDIT, a full-screen 4DOS file
               description editor.

            *  A shareware copy of 4FILES, a 4DOS-compatible file manager
               and description editor.

          The 4OS2 Utility Disk contains the text for the 4OS2 help system
          and for 4OS2's "quick help" (messages displayed with the "/?"
          switch on 4OS2 commands).  You can modify this text and recompile
          it for your own use or for use by registered 4OS2 users within
          your organization.  To recompile the help text you must have
          access to the IBM Information Presentation Facility Compiler
          (IPFC) which is used by developers to develop help for OS/2
          programs.  IPFC is distributed by IBM as part of its developer's
          toolkit for OS/2.  To recompile the quick help text you must have
          access to the MKMSGF program, which is also part of the OS/2
          developer's toolkit.

          The 4OS2 Utility Disk also contains some additional shareware or
          freeware utilities which we feel 4OS2 users might find useful:

            *  A shareware copy of Browse/2, a Presentation Manager
               application for browsing ASCII files.

            *  A shareware copy of the OS/2 version of Vern Buerg's popular
               LIST utility.  Runs in character mode.

            *  MEMSIZE, a freeware system resource monitor.  Displays swap
               file size and available space, CPU load, and free disk
               space.  Runs under Presentation Manager.

            *  SHOWINI, a freeware REXX script to display the contents of
               OS/2 .INI files.


      4DOS for Windows NT Utility Disk:

          JP Software also offers a Utility Disk for registered 4DOS for
          Windows NT users.  This disk contains the 4DOS for Windows NT
          help text, in both Word for Windows and RTF formats.  At this
          time it does not contain any other utilities.

          In order to use the 4DOS for Windows NT help text, you must have
          a word processor which can handle the Word for Windows and / or
          RTF formats, and a Windows help compiler such as Microsoft's HC31
          (distributed with the Windows and Windows NT Software Development
          Kits).

          You can modify the help text for your own use or for use by other
          registered 4DOS for Windows NT users within your company or
          organization, but you cannot sell it or distribute it publicly.

      BOOT.SYS:

          BOOT.SYS is a shareware package which allows you to choose your
          system configuration when your computer boots.  It makes managing
          a variety of configurations (for example, booting under plain
          4DOS, DESQView, or Windows 3) very simple.  It supports multi-
          level menus, color display, and option selection in both
          CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT.  It is invoked when the system
          boots, and does not require a reboot after changing
          configurations the way some similar programs do.  We use BOOT.SYS
          here at JP Software, and we like it so much we decided to add it
          to our product line.  BOOT.SYS is fully compatible with MS-DOS
          and PC-DOS version 6 and below, and with DR DOS.

          To use BOOT.SYS effectively you need to be reasonably familiar
          with CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.  BOOT.SYS works with
          multiple sets of configuration directives (DEVICE, SHELL, etc.)
          in your CONFIG.SYS file.  It presents menus to allow you to
          choose which set or subset of these directives to execute, and
          also provides a program you can run in AUTOEXEC to determine
          which menu choice was selected.  You use the result returned by
          this program in IF or IFF statements in AUTOEXEC.BAT in order to
          make AUTOEXEC execute the correct TSRs and other commands
          corresponding to the choices you made in CONFIG.SYS.  This
          approach is very powerful when combined with 4DOS IFF / THEN /
          ELSE statements.

          A shareware copy of BOOT.SYS is available on the 4DOS utility
          disk, and can be downloaded from our CompuServe support area and
          many other on-line services and local BBSes.  You can order your
          registered copy of BOOT.SYS from JP Software for $42.
