To see a complete list of files that must be included with this
package for distribution, please INSTALL the program (described
below) and check the file called PACKING.LST.
TO INSTALL
NOTE: 3 mb of hard disk space is required during the install. To use
PC-File, you must have at least 450K of RAM and DOS version 3.0 or
later.
If installing from a floppy disk, put DISK 1 in Drive A or B and at
the prompt type
A:INSTALL <ENTER> or
B:INSTALL <ENTER>
The program will give you instructions from there on. Install will
copy an archived file to your disk. This file will then be un-
archived and, after all files are on your hard disk, the archived
file will be erased.
The install program will create a subdirectory if one does not
already exist.
If installing from a hard disk, you must either install to the same
subdirectory where you copied the files or to a different drive.
Install will not work from one subdirectory on the hard disk to
another subdirectory on the same drive.
After installation, please read the READ.ME file as well as the other
important files listed in the READ.ME file.

| WHAT IS SHAREWARE? |
+----------------------------+
Welcome to the Shareware revolution. This remarkable method of
software distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and
Andrew Fluegelman. It has become a major force in the computer
industry, helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy
protection schemes.
You are encouraged to copy the PC-File Shareware diskette(s) and
share them freely with others. You have the luxury of trying out the
complete programs, at your own pace and in the comfort of your own
home or workplace. This is not a disabled or demo copy, but the
complete fully-functional working version of the program.
After you have used PC-File for a reasonable evaluation period (not
to exceed 60 days) you must either stop using it or buy a licensed
copy from ButtonWare or from an authorized dealer.
Why pay at all?
* You receive the most current copy of the program
* Bound printed manuals (over 650 pages with screen shots)
* The option of purchasing pre-defined applications
* Notification of updates and new products
* Inexpensive updates (typically 1/3 the retail price)
* Periodic special price offers (for our registered users only)
* Your input and ideas help shape future products
* A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly participated
in the Shareware revolution
* The satisfaction of helping to keep software prices down, by
supporting a distribution method which doesn't depend on
expensive advertising campaigns
At ButtonWare, we are committed to the continued development of
useful, friendly (easy to use), inexpensive software. Your payment is
very important. It helps to fund the creation of new software
programs and encourages the Shareware approach to software
distribution. In essence, your payment is a vote for this program and
for this method of software sales.
Sincerely,
Jim Button
Founder and president.
