- │ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │

- │ 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 │

- │ │
- │ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
- │ │

- ===== 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.

-
- "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:

- 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

- 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!
