REGISTRATION REMINDERS Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare products are 100% fully functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our products do have a registration reminder screen that appears whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect your evaluation of our software. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone, call the nice people at our 800 number and register the software. When you pay for the shareware you like, you are voting with your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more of what you like will almost magically be developed. LEGAL MATTERS Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near the bottom of this file. HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE Use our snazzy setup program... 1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications. (You do have to be in Windows to run WSETUP.EXE) 2) Double-Click on the WSETUP.EXE program or from Program Manager, using File/Run, type the drive letter of your floppy drive and wsetup. ie. a:\wsetup 3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify an initial directory, or accept the given default. 4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want to install, do your selections, or just hit the INSTALL ALL button. Hit the OK button to continue. ******************* MANUAL INSTALL *********************** If you cannot use the snazzy setup program, and must do a manual install.....good luck. Basically installing our products without going through the setup program is "unsupported", as installation of Windows products does get tricky. However as to not leave you completely in the lurch.... 1) Most files to be installed by the installation program end in an underscore "_". The files might be compressed. If you received the files on a DISK, the probability is HIGH that you must expand the files with our WEXPAND (see below) program before use. If you received the files packaged in a ZIP file, the probability is LOW and you may simply rename the files to the correct name. If you try to expand a file that was not compressed, the expand program will NOT give an error message, and will NOT correctly process the file. In general, if the output from the expand program is smaller than the file that went in, the expand program should not be used. By examining the files with our Browser (possibly included with the package) program, or basically any tool that allows you to look at the file in hex, one can quickly learn how to determine if the file is compressed or not. If you can read *any* text in the morass of funny looking symbols, the file is probably not compressed. If the characters seem completely random, then it is probably compressed. 2) The files (generally) must either be expanded into files with the correct names, or must be renamed, prior to use. 3) In general, the DLL files should go into your WINDOWS directory, or else some directory mentioned in your DOS path statement. 4) The BROWSER.EXE program may be used to view the *.MAN manual files. It is recommended that you put the BROWSER program in the same directory you put the DLL files. 5) You may want to add to the WIN.INI [Extensions] section the following lines: MAN=BROWSER.EXE ^.MAN HLP=WINHELP ^.HLP WBT=WINBATCH.EXE ^.WBT *** USING THE WEXPAND PROGRAM *** Example: The installation diskette is inserted into your A: floppy drive You wish to expand the WININFO.EX_ file. At the DOS prompt type... WEXPAND.EXE WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE Make sure the output file (WININFO.EXE in this case) is LARGER than the input file (WININFO.EX_), otherwise the file was not compressed, and should be renamed as follows: REN WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE UN-INSTALL INFORMATION The snazzy setup program will create a DOS batch file - UNINSTAL.BAT in the target directory that will un-install the product just installed. You may either review the batch file and perform a manual uninstall, or, if you have not installed any products *after* installing this product, go ahead and run the batch file. If you have installed several products before deciding to uninstall this, the uninstall will *generally* work successfully. The only problem that occurs is when this product uninstalls a file that the other products use. In general, this will only be a problem when you install several of our products, and will be much less of a problem if you install products from other vendors. If problems occur, generally all that is required is to re-install the product that is complaining about the lack of a file. A quick review of the uninstall batch file, and deleting a line or two for files you know are used by other products may be all that is required to successfully run the uninstall. UPDATE POLICY Wilson WindowWare frequently updates its products. There are various kinds of updates, including Major updates, Minor updates, and bug-fix updates. Minor and bug-fix updates for our shareware products are free - - subject only to our reasonable shipping and and handling charges for disks. As we are not in the disk selling business, you may find that shareware vendors specializing in disk sales can easily sell disks cheaper than we can. On the other hand, we *always* have the most recent versions of our software. Our shipping and handling charges for update disks are as follows: 10.00 US and Canada for the first product. 5.00 US and Canada for each additional product. 9.50 Surcharge for shipping outside of US and Canada. If you obtain a minor or bug-fix update from Compuserve or other online service, a BBS, a shareware disk vendor or from another source, there is no charge from us (of course you will have to pay the on-line service fees, disk vendors fees, or at least pay your phone bill for downloading from a BBS). In addition, you may use a single disk to update any number of copies of a product. The policy and pricing for Major shareware updates vary. Depending on the nature of the upgrade, length of time since the previous major upgrade, desirability of new features added, the extent of revisions to the printed manuals (if any), work involved and possible price changes for new users, we may or may not charge fees. Since it is difficult to determine what the cost of future major updates will be, and since we do not wish to commit ourselves to the uncertainty of the future, we have provided information on the cost of major past updates here so that you can see our track record, and possibly feel reassured about the future. Command Post first released: May, 1988 6.x to 7.x $18.50 (Included a new manual) 7.x to 8.0 $0-$15-$25 (depending on date of purchase) (Included nearly 300 pages printed docs) WinBatch first released: Jan 1991 3.x to 4.0 $0-$15-$30 (depending on date of purchase) (Includes nearly 300 pages printed docs) WinBatch Compiler 3.x to 4.0 $99.95 (Includes nearly 300 pages printed docs) File Commander first released May 1992 1.0 to 2.0 Free (Registered 1.0 users received free 2.0 manuals and disks (and NO S&H charges)) Address Manager first released: July 1991 1.1b to 2.0 (New manual and disk - $12) 2.1a to 2.1e (New manual and disk - $12) 2.1e to 3.0a (New manual and disk - $20) Windows Reminder first released: July 1991 1.0 to 2.0a Free (No major updates so far) WinEdit first released: November 1990 1.3 to 2.0 Free (New disk and manual set - $20) 2.0 to 3.0 $20-30-35 (Lite Std or Pro upgrades) * In the table Above "Free" means the update costs the same as a minor update, in that if you want us to send you a disk, there is only our standard shipping and handling charges for disks. ON-LINE SUPPORT Wilson WindowWare has on-line support! The home of all Wilson WindowWare is on Compuserve, in the WINAPA forum, in the Wilson WindowWare section (#15 currently). Also the latest and greatest downloads are available from DL15 of the WINAPA forum.

We only look at the titles of the messages. If you want to leave a message for us be sure one of the following words are in the title.

Association of Shareware Professionals Ombudsman Statement Wilson WindowWare, the producer of Wilson WindowWare software, is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
