I. INTRODUCTION
WYND-DOS is a utility program which allows you to perform functions
such as formatting disks, copying and deleting files, and creating
subdirectories - all from a friendly environment - without having to
type commands at a DOS prompt.
WYND-DOS requires a computer with at least 256K memory, operating with
PC or MS DOS 3.0 or greater. If you have a mouse connected, WYND-DOS
will detect it, and a full mouse interface will be available to you.
WYND-DOS is user-supported software. You are encouraged to use, copy,
and distribute it as freely as you wish. But if you do find it
useful, we ask that you please send a registration fee of $30.00 to
WYNDWARE, One Parker Place, Suite 308, Janesville, WI 53545. When
you send in your fee, you will receive the latest version of WYND-DOS
and will become eligible to receive updates to the program as
improvements are made to it.
WYND-DOS is also available from the above address as part of a hard-
disk menu system, WYNDSHELL. The registration fee for the WYNDSHELL /
WYND-DOS combination is $45.00.
While we have done our best to create a good product, this program is
supplied "as is". The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of WYND-DOS.

VI. WHY REGISTER?
The program contained on this disk is a fully operational program with
complete documentation. You are encouraged to use, copy, and
distribute it as freely as you wish. But if you do find it useful, we
ask that you please register your copy. There are several reasons why
it is to your advantage to do this:
1. This is the only way in which this software is supported.
WYNDWARE depends on your registration fee for our continued
existence. If we do not receive your registration, we will be
unable to continue offering programs like this to you.
2. By registering, you are assured of receiving the most up-to-date
and full-featured product possible. We are continually upgrading
our products, making them more powerful and easier to use. When
you register, you will receive a copy of the most current version
of the program, and will be placed on our list to receive notices
of new revisions when they become available.
3. The initial registration reminder screen which appears at the
beginning of the program is removed when you install your
registered copy, saving you an extra keystroke when you start the
program.
4. While the documentation in this manual, and in the on-disk
Reference Manual, does cover every feature of the program, the
User's Guide you will receive upon registration does offer an
additional illustrated Tutorial section which can help you
step-by-step to learn the program in a logical and detailed
order.
5. As an added incentive for registering at this time, we will also
include with your order a copy of THE HIVE, our strategy game for
up to 4 players (including the computer if you wish). This game
is ONLY available to registered users of our products and is
included at NO additional cost.
To become a registered owner of WYND-DOS, or to order other WYNDWARE
products, use the convenient order form in the back of this booklet or
call 1-800-475-1628 for credit card orders.
