║ 1. What is WizLINK? ║
╚═══════════════════════╝
WizLINK is a remote control program that enables one computer (defined as
the remote) to dial another computer (defined as the host) through a modem
or a direct RS232 port and gain control of the host computer. WizLINK
functions remote control in the text mode and provides file transfer
ability within the remote control session. It takes only about 6.5K memory
for the full functional installation.
╔═════════════════════════════╗
║ 2. Why is WizLINK useful? ║
╚═════════════════════════════╝
- Computers' inter-communication and control are essential! The fast
growth in computer industry makes it possible for more and more
people to have access to more than one computer - among offices,
business, customers, home, friends and portable computers. Software
and customer support also depend on remote control (with file
transfer) like WizLINK.
- DOS and DOS text based applications still dominate the PC market and
serve most people's daily uses.
WizLINK is developed to offer every computer user an easy and low cost
solution - an essential DOS utility handy when needed.
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ 3. WizLINK and other remote control software ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- WizLINK is small! 6.4K TSR (less than half the size of a mouse driver)
for a full functional installation, while others take no less than 48K
in most cases, some even 140K or more. In current DOS world, almost
everyone is constrained by memory and hardly anyone can afford a big
memory for a TSR.
- WizLINK is fast! It handles 9600 modem, 115K direct connection and
compressed screen transfer.
- WizLINK is easy to use with many flexible and powerful features.
- WizLINK offers features that no other programs can match!
- WizLINK is fun! Just imagine what you could do with WizLINK.

║ 4. License and registration ║

package with all available features. The standard version, with a valid
serial number, is the one that WIZ-TEC will offer product supports, upgrade
continuous enhancements/developments and most current bug fixes, to only
the registered WizLINK users. The shareware version is for WizLINK
evaluation only, a registered WizLINK standard version is the only lawful
use of WizLINK product. Please read WizLINK licensing agreement carefully
before evaluating or using either version of this software. The licensing
agreement is in the file "LICENSE.DOC", a pure text file, in your WizLINK

║ 6. Where to start? ║
╚══════════════════════╝
1) Read "LICENSE.DOC" file
This file contains WizLINK licensing agreement in a pure text format.
2) Installing the standard version
The very first thing you should do is to backup the WizLINK disk and
put the original disk in a safe place. Use the backup disk only.
Install WizLINK according to the following steps:
- Insert WizLINK disk into the floppy drive.
- Change current drive into this floppy drive.
- Run the install program with the destination drive-path parameter.
The format is "INSTALL [Drive-Path]". For example, at a drive "A:\>"
prompt type "A:INSTALL c:\WizLINK" will install WizLINK into c:
drive WizLINK directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual
Another alternative to install WizLINK:
- Create a WizLINK directory in your hard drive.
- Copy "WizLINK1.EXE" file from WizLINK disk into your this directory.
- Run "WizLINK1.EXE" from your WizLINK directory, and it will self-
extract all WizLINK files into this directory.
- Change the "PATH" of your AUTOEXEC.BAT to include the WizLINK
directory.
- Run WizLINKu.EXE, read the on line helps and User's Manual.
3) Installing the shareware version
The shareware version may come in two different forms depending on the
distribution media or sources.
- If it is in one floppy disk, follow the exact steps as for the
standard version stated above.
- If it is in the self-extracting form where all the orginal files
(other than "INSTALL.EXE") are compressed into one - "WizLINK1.EXE",
create your WizLINK directory, copy in "WizLINK1.EXE", and run this
program from this directory which will self-extract itself to full
WizLINK shareware package - refer to the alternative installation
for WizLINK standard version.
Note: If it is not in the above two forms provided by WIZ-TEC, you must
check with your distributor for installation instructions and make sure
that all the original unaltered files are present after installation.
4) Getting help from WizLINK
Read the "LICENSE.DOC" for WizLINK licensing terms and conditions. Run
WizLINKu.EXE - WizLINK utility program for more detailed help. Within
WizLINKu, you can review the complete manual ([F3] key), on line help
([F1] key), WizLINK setup options and your phone book entries. WizLINK.COM
is the program handling all the remote control tasks. Type "WizLINK /?"
for the command line help. Read the manual, either within WizLINKu program
or use any text file browser ("MANULA.DOC" is WizLINK user's manual file).
Try it, it is exciting. Enjory it. Be a friend and supporter of WizLINK.
