- 1 The Program
-
-
- PC-Fortune for Windows is comprised of three files: PCF.DAT, PCFR and
- PCFI are data files and PCFW.EXE is the program that extracts an item
- from the text database and displays it.
-
- When PC-Fortune for Windows runs it displays an item from its data base
- in a window centered on your screen. When you press any key, a new item
- is selected at random and displayed. (The shareware version contains
- over 2,500 items, the registered version over 10,500 items.) This
- continues until you press the ESCAPE key, which is how you terminate
- PCFW.
-
-
-
- 2 Installing PC-Fortune for Windows
-
-
- PC-Fortune for Windows does not come with an installation program--we
- provide instructions for manual installation so that you can easily
- uninstall it if necessary.
-
- You need five files from the distribution disk: PCFW.EXE, PCFI, PCFR,
- PCF.DAT and VBRUN300.DLL. Note that you may already have the file
- VBRUN300.DLL on your system for use with some other application--if so
- you do not need to install it again.
-
- First, create a directory on your hard disk to hold the program and
- data files. (You may also choose to use an existing directory). Say the
- letter of your hard drive is H:, and you want to put the files in a new
- directory called JAYAR; with the distribution diskette in drive A,
- type:
-
- A> MKDIR H:\JAYAR
- A> COPY PCFI H:\JAYAR
- A> COPY PCFR H:\JAYAR
- A> COPY PCF.DAT H:\JAYAR
- A> COPY PCFW.EXE H:\JAYAR
-
- The remcommended place to put the VBRUN300.DLL file is in your
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory--again, you only have to do this if it is not
- already there:
-
- A> COPY VBRUN300.DLL H:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

-
- 3 Running PC-Fortune for Windows
-
-
- You may run PC-Fortune for Windows by selecting it from the File
- Manager under Windows. You will likely want to create a program item
- for PC-Fortune for Windows though and place it in its own program group
- or in an existing group. A recommended group is the StartUp
- group--then, every time you start Windows, a fortune pops up.
-
- See your Microsoft Windows User's Guide for more information on
- creating program groups and items. Just be sure to specify the
- directory name you created in the previous section as the "working
- directory" when creating a new program item.
-
- When PC-Fortune for Windows runs, it will continue to display items
- every time you press a key on your keyboard. Pressing the ESCAPE key
- terminates the program.

- 5 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.

- 6 How to Register
-
-
- PC-Fortune for Windows 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 PC-Fortune
- for Windows and continue to use PC-Fortune for Windows after a
- reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of
- US$24.95 (Cdn$29.00) to JAYAR Systems. The registration fee will
- license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.
-
- See the file REGISTER.DOC for more details and a registration form that
- you can fill in.
