Non-registered users are licensed to use our program for a reasonable
trial period. If you intend to continue using our program,
registration with Sonshine Software is mandatory.
This program is "shareware". Shareware is a marketing method
by which a user can "test drive" the program before paying
for it. The normal "test drive" period is up to 30 days.
Registration is just $45 (plus $4 shipping). Included with
registration is the right to use the program, the latest version
of the program, and 30 days of free telephone support for
installation.
Fees paid for a copy of this program from a disk dealer or shareware
distributor do not constitute registration. This means that when you
pay a shareware distributor $3-4 for a copy, you have paid for
an evaluation copy only.

and pastors by sharing with them our low cost, quality products.
If you are someone local pastors come to with their computer
questions, or if you travel to conventions or seminars, we would
like to speak with you. NO SALES EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. For further

4.0 System Requirements ---------------------------------------------
To run the system it is recommended that you have a hard disk.
The system can be run on two floppies with limited disk space.
Dos Version 3.0 or higher is also recommended. Ram Memory should
be 640k or more.
=========== THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!! =============
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk. If you
have a hard disk then this file must be in your root directory
i.e. "C:\". If you are using floppies then this file must be on
your DOS diskette. The file must contain the following
statements:
FILES=35
BUFFERS=30
The system will not run unless these commands are added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. Once you have added them you must reboot your
system. This can be accomplished by CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence or
turning off the computer and turning it back on.
