│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for SuperInstall is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire
process. You will need about 500K of available disk space on the hard
drive on which you plan to install the program.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
SuperInstall.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the SuperInstall distribution diskette in the appropriate
diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program
will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the
SuperInstall files to that directory. If you received the program
on two diskettes, you will need to insert Disk 2 in the diskette
drive when asked to do so. It will make no other changes;
specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded SuperInstall from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the SuperInstall package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the
MS-DOS command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program
will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the
SuperInstall files to that directory. It will make no other
changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or
config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed SuperInstall
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "txt") which have been installed.
We hope you enjoy the program.

DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, INCLUDING SUCH FROM NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, OR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, EVEN FROM A PERSON WHO HAS
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or the
exclusion of consequential damages, so the above disclaimers and
exclusions may not apply to you.
MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement [A] shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
Province of Quebec as to its validity, construction and performance,
without giving effect to the choice of law provisions thereof; [B]
constitutes the entire agreement of the parties as to its subject matter
and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, and

===== License for Use and Distribution =================
SHAREWARE LICENCE
When used in this Licence:
"We" and the "Author" mean "Logistral, Inc.". The "Trademark" means the
mark "SuperInstall for DOS". The "Software" means the program and
related text files and printed materials distributed by the Author under
the Trademark.
This Shareware Licence gives you a limited period to evaluate the
Software. It also tells you how you can use the Software after the
evaluation period ends, and *encourages* you to distribute it so that
others can evaluate it. By using the Software you agree to all of the
terms, conditions and disclaimers in this Licence.
OWNERSHIP
The Author owns, or has licenced from the owner, all copyrights and
trade secrets in the Software, and owns the Trademark under which it
distributes the Software. Among other things, this means:
[1] The Software is not public domain software and is not free. Your
rights to it are only those provided by this Licence.
[2] The rights granted by this Licence are on the condition that you
will not modify, reverse compile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the
Software, in order to use or disclose any secret information of the
Author that it contains.
HOW AND WHY TO REGISTER
You may evaluate the Software for 30 days after you first run any part
of it on a computer.
To use the Software after your evaluation period ends, you must register
your use of the Software by completing the ORDER FORM and sending it to
the author together with the registration fee it indicates.
After your register the Software, you will have the right to use the
Software on any number of machines, so long as there is no possibility
that more than one copy will be used at a time. You will have the right
to use the Software royalty-free to develop any number of installations,
of any number of software titles, of which you are the author or
publisher.
Use of the Software beyond the trial period is copyright infringement
unless you register and pay us the registration fee. Such use also
threatens the continuation of the shareware revolution, which has
benefitted users by its "try before you buy" philosophy and by slowing
increases in software prices. Shareware enables hardworking shareware
authors who don't have the marketing resources of a large software
company to market some of the best and most innovative software to be
found anywhere. SHAREWARE IS GOOD FOR YOU -- IF YOU LIKE THE SOFTWARE,
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR COPY OF IT!
