  41.  
  42. Disclaimer:         You are free to use this program as long as are willing
  43.                     to accept all responsibility for any problems that might
  44.                     arise from using it.
  45.  
  46.                     If you don't agree with these terms, then delete the
  47.                     program now.
  48.  
  49. Cost:               This program is shareware, NOT public domain or freeware.
  50.  
  51.                     You are free to try this program for 30 days.  If after
  52.                     that time you continue to use it, then you are required
  53.                     to register it.  For registration information, refer to
  54.                     the file ShowWho.REG.
  55.  
  56. Installation:       Run the command SWInst.CMD with the name of the directory
  57.                     that you wish to install ShowWho into.  This will copy the
  58.                     program files into the directory specified, allow you to
  59.                     view the ShowWho.Doc file, Print the ShowWho.Doc file, and
  60.                     create a desktop icon for ShowWho.
  61.  
  62. How to use:         If you have installed ShowWho.Exe into a directroy that
  63.                     is in your path statement, then just type ShowWho from
  64.                     any OS/2 fullscreen or window prompt, otherwise, change
  65.                     directories to the one you installed ShowWho in, and
  66.                     then type ShowWho.
  67.  
  68. Known Limitations:  At this time, ShowWho retrieves the IP Address information
  69.                     by parsing the TCP/IP SETUP.CMD file.  It does this by
  70.                     trying to read the file "C:\TCPIP\BIN\SETUP.CMD" and if it
  71.                     is not found, then tryin to read "C:\MPTN\BIN\SETUP.CMD".
  72.  
  73.                     If neither file is found, then IP Address is set to "UnKnown".
  74.                     If one is found, then it parses the file looking for the
  75.                     string "lan0".  Therefore, the only TCP/IP address that is
  76.                     returned is for the adapter lan0.
  77.  
  78. Additional Notes:   This version of the program and all documentation will
  79.                     cease to be supported as of Dec. 31, 1995 or 90 days
  80.                     after the release of a newer version, which ever comes
  81.                     first.
