===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains Grammar Slammer (Version 1.0), by James Bair.
This document contains only a brief description of the package and its
features, along with instructions for its installation. More detailed
documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and
is more easily read after installation.
If you have ever wanted grammar information at your fingertips, if you
wanted to answer those questions that grammar checkers ask you, if you
just are not sure where the comma goes...then Grammar Slammer is for
you. It goes beyond a checker and is far easier than an online grammar
book. It will slam your grammar agony!
Grammar Slammer is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may
use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see GSWP4W.TXT for more
details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
GSWP4W.TXT for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
Copy GRAMDEMO.HLP to any directory. We recommend creating a new directory
named "GRAMSLAM." We will assume that this is the name of your
directory. If not, please make the proper adjustments. You may also want
to copy the program icon, GRAMSLAM.ICO, to this directory or to the
directory you normally keep your icons in. You may also want to copy the
button graphic GSWP4W.BMP to this directory or the directory where you
keep other Word Perfect button graphics.
Copy the file GRAMDEMO.WCM to directory where you keep your Word Perfect
Macros. This is normally WP4WIN/MACROS, but it may vary.
You are now set to run GRAMMAR SLAMMER from your Word Perfect for Windows
program.
For further instructions on installing hot keys, buttons, icons, etc.
and for specific methods see the GSWP4W.TXT file.
===== Running GRAMMAR SLAMMER========================================
Running the macro to launch GRAMMAR SLAMMER is called "playing" the
macro. Choose "Macros" from the "Tools" Menu, then choose "Play." Enter
the Macro name in the box (GRAMDEMO.WCM). If you do not recall the name,
click "List" (or press the F4 key) and a list of names will appear,
highlight the correct name and click on "OK." Click on the "Play" button.
To Run GRAMMAR SLAMMER you have six choices: 1) Run it from
the "Play | Macro" routine from the menu as above; 2) Add it to the Word
Perfect Menu and then click on the menu choice when you want to run it,
3) Run it from a text-based toolbar in Word Perfect for Windows; 4) Add
the GSWP4W.BMP to the toolbar and then click on the Grammar Slammar icon
when you want it to appear; 5) Assign a "shortcut key" to the GRAMMAR
SLAMMER macro and use that key combination to get GRAMMAR SLAMMER to run;
or 6) Run it from a regular Windows icon in one of the Program Manager
Windows.
The way or ways in which you play the macro depend on how you installed
it into Word Perfect. For further instructions on installing each way of
running GRAMMAR SLAMMER, see the GSWP4W.TXT file.

Contents of VENDOR.TXT/BBSINFO.TXT:
This file contains our distribution policy and information on all our
products. We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to
distribute our shareware in its original, unaltered form as long as you
1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)
2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place
....and as long as we do not request you to stop.
You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional
files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on
the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you
respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you
may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution,
and we do notwant to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our
mutual customer.
If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales,
please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that
customers do not understand shareware. ASP, ESC, Walnut Creek, Simtel,
Garbo, Winsite, SICS, PC-SIG, Washington State, STAR, Way Cool, Bongo,
EMS, APCUG, PC-related periodical, and Night Owl collections are
pre-authorized to include our programs on CD-ROM.
This is our normal distribution sequence:
1. New versions are offered to our registered users and distributed to
all users who have registered within a year of the release date.
2. New versions are posted on CompuServe (use IBMFF with ID 70730,3001).
3. New versions are released through SDNet. If you have a BBS and do not
belong to SDNet, please consider joining this international network.
4. All ASP and ESC distribution members are included in the regular ASP
and ESC CD-ROM. This saves us both time and money. If you are not an ASP
vendor member or bulletin board member, please consider joining. If you
work a lot with educational materials, consider joining the ESC
(Educational Software Cooperative).
5. We also send copies of major revisions of our software to vendors and
bulletin boards who have notified us of their interest. If you are a
catalog house, please send us a catalog or copy of your distribution
diskette. We will be glad to keep you updated. We also provide updates
to all distributors who are named by registered usersas their source. If
you are on the ASP, ESC, or SDN distributions, this may not be necessary
and would save both of us a little time.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me:

registration and support services outside the USA, we are interested in
working with you in a nonexclusive basis.
===== About VENDINFO Files =============================
Each VENDINFO.DIZ file contains extensive information about a product.
This "human-readable" section is followed by a compressed data record
useable by automated tools. The data record allows BBSes and other
distributors to automate package handling, and provides users with a
wealth of product information. VENDINFO tools (free viewer for users,
