SHAREWARE VERSION 1 AMATEUR RADIO LOGBOOK
Thank you for trying this program.
You are entitled to evaluate this program for 30 days without charge.
After that period:
If you find yourself using it on a regular basis, you should
register it - the registration cost and address are on the main
menu screen or you can print out the order form by typing:
TYPE ORDER.DOC > PRN [ENTER]
The advantages of registering are:
1. It encourages people like me to keep writing cheap, easy to
use, useful programs.
2. It proves that you're a trustworthy, law abiding citizen.
3. When I update the program, I'll tell you. Your first upgrade
is FREE (you send me a blank, formatted floppy, I send you the
upgrade), upgrades after the first one are cheap (not more than
half the cost of the new program).
4. You get discounts on other programs I've written (at least
10%, sometimes more).
5. You get news about other programs soon after I've written
them and the chance to get FREE evaluation copies of them (you
send me a blank, formatted disk and a stamped return label).
6. Simple changes to the program (different wording on the
screen, a report laid out to your specification, support for
your printer, that kind of thing) are available to registered
users - either FREE or cheap, depending on the amount of work
involved.
So go on! Register today! You'll feel better for it!

Single Floppy Disk Users!
You will find that there isn't a lot of space for your files on
your disk.
You can increase the space available by using one of the
programs that will squash down the space taken by EXE files
whilst still allowing them to be readable by your computer.
Your Shareware vendor should stock one of the following
programs, both of which will reduce the size of the main EXE
file by over 100k:
LZEXE or PKLITE
If you haven't already got one of these programs and are getting
regularly short of space on your disks, they are highly recommended.
-----oOo------
This program is supplied `as is'. It is up to the user to check
the suitability of the program for the use they intend to put it
to.
-----oOo------
Other things to Note:
The program has a screen blanking routine: if no key is pressed
for about 10 minutes, the screen will blank itself (to save
`burn in') until a key is pressed again.
Your CONFIG.SYS file should include the lines:
FILES=nn
BUFFERS=nn
where nn is at least 10.
Without these lines, you are likely to get an error message when you try
to run the program! If this happens, you will need to go back and amend
your CONFIG.SYS file (you will find it on your start-up disk or in the root
directory of your hard disk) and then re-boot your computer to make the
changes come into effect.
If you haven't got a CONFIG.SYS file at all, you'll need to create one.
If none of this makes sense, consult your DOS manual.
If it still doesn't make sense, feel free to drop me a line (remembering to
enclose a stamp for my reply) and I'll talk you through the process.
