ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Paper Hanger is a simple utility which allows you to change your Windows
wallpaper with ease and simplicity. It is designed to avoid the Windows
Control Panel and the many steps it requires to change your wallpaper.
Paper Hanger allows frequent wallpaper changes without going through the
hassle of the Control panel's many steps. You can have new Wallpaper with a
couple of clicks at the bottom of your desktop and you are quickly back to
important tasks.
Paper Hanger 2.1 now offers a "preview window" so you may browse through
your bitmap collection and select WallPaper more easily! Also included
in version 2.1 are Tile/Center radio buttons in the file picker dialog!
This allows you to switch from large bitmap (which is used Centered) to
a smaller bitmap (which is used Tiled) in one easy step!
Paper Hanger should be loaded in the start-up group of the Program
Manager so it will be easily available when running Windows. Paper
Hanger exists as an icon at the bottom of your Windows desktop. A
double click on the icon gives you a Windows File Open dialog from
which you may browse through and select wallpaper from ANY directory.
A single click on the Paper Hanger icon presents you with Paper Hanger's
menu where you can elect to Tile or Center the currently selected
wallpaper. Also, there is a 'None' option which turns off
wallpaper.
******* Don't forget to view the important About Dialog! *******
NOTE: A Windows NT (32 bit) version of Paper Hanger (V 2.2)
will be available soon! Contact the author to egg him on!
Additionally, for C++ developers interested, the source
code for Paper Hanger is available FREE to any registered
user who requests it! Paper Hanger 2.1 is written using
Microsoft Visual C++ and the MFC 2.0 framework.
"This program is produced by Jordan Bigel, 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."
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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Paper Hanger must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Paper Hanger 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 conse-
quential, which may result from the use of Paper Hanger."
Paper Hanger 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 Paper Hanger and continue to use
Paper Hanger after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment of ONLY $10.00 to Jordan Bigel. The $10.00
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 Paper Hanger must register and pay for their
copies of Paper Hanger within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
tacting Jordan Bigel.
Anyone distributing Paper Hanger for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Jordan Bigel 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
Paper Hanger immediately (However Jordan Bigel must still be advised so
that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Paper Hanger.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Paper Hanger along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
will receive free copies of all future versions of the Paper Hanger
system (if any).
