- ===== Installation =====================================
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- System Requirements
- BarClock is completely self-contained and requires Windows 3.1.
- BarClock uses very little memory (about 30 k) and uses almost no system
- resources.
-
- * If you are using Windows 3.0, use v1.32 of BarClock.
- * If you are using Windows NT, use the NT version of BarClock.
-
- Installation from .ZIP file
- 1. Create a new directory (such as C:\BARCLOCK).
- 2. Unzip the BARCLK41.ZIP archive into this new directory.
- 3. Create a new program manager item for BarClock - the command line
- for this icon should read C:\BARCLOCK\BARCLOCK.EXE. We suggest addin
- g
- this icon to your StartUp group. This will cause BarClock to start
- every time you start Windows.
- 4. Double-click the icon to start BarClock.
-
- Automatic Launch
- If you chose not to create an icon in your StartUp group and you want
- BarClock to start automatically when Windows is started, you can modify
- the "load=" line in your WIN.INI file (found in your \WINDOWS
- directory) so that it reads "load=barclock.exe". (NOTE: Always make a
- backup copy of WIN.INI before changing it.)
-
- Checking Installation
- If BarClock is installed properly, you will see the BarClock About...
- dialog displaying the current version number and important copyright
- information. Click OK to continue and the time and date will appear in
- the title bar of the active application. This introductory dialog can
- be recalled later by choosing About... from the BarClock menu.
-
- Upgrading a prior version of BarClock
- If you are upgrading an older version of BarClock, you will first need
- to exit the older version of BarClock. The new version of BarClock can
- be safely installed into the same directory as the prior version and
- will retain all existing settings, alarms and timers.
-
- Removing BarClock
- Since BarClock does not make any modifications to any of your system
- files, if you decide to remove BarClock you simply need to delete a few
- files and icons.
- 1. Delete all files in your BarClock directory
- 2. Delete the following files from your Windows directory
- BARCLOCK.INI configuration file
- BARCLOCK.DAT Alarm/warning/timer data
- BARCLOCK.TXT Default log file
- 3. Remove any program icons/groups for BarClock
- 4. If you modified your WIN.INI file to load or run BarClock, remember
- to remove BarClock from the line that was modified
-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- LICENSE AGREEMENT
-
- Definition of Shareware
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
- buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
- are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
- request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
- trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
- to continue using the software to an updated program with printed
- manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
- stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
- commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In
- both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
- is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the
- right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or
- to a specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
- find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
- commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
- easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
- low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back
- guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
-
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP)
- Atomic Dog Software is a member of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
- principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
- shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
- directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
- resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
- technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
- Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX
- 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
- Ombudsman 70007,3536.

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of BarClock must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- BARCLOCK 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 BARCLOCK.
-
- BarClock is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
- user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
- please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The
- essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer
- users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
- incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you
- find this program useful and find that you are using BarClock and
- continue to use BarClock after 45 days, you must make a registration
- payment of $15 to Atomic Dog Software Corporation. The $15
- registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
- any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An
- example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
- may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
- there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's
- being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different
- persons at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of BarClock must register and pay for their copies of
- BarClock within 45 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
- Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Atomic Dog Software
- Corporation.
-
- Anyone distributing BarClock for any kind of remuneration must first
- contact Atomic Dog Software Corporation at the address below for
- authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to
- distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- BarClock immediately (However Atomic Dog Software Corporation must
- still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with
- the latest version of BarClock.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of BarClock along to your friends for
- evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find
- that they can use it.
-
- The attached VENDINFO data record is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Any distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements expressed
- in that data record is hereby authorized.
