- INSTALLATION:
- -------------
- Installation of Jason's File Finder (later referred to simply as JFF) is
- very easy. Simply place a copy of the executable file (JFF.EXE) on a floppy
- disk, or in a subdirectory on your hard drive. For installation to a hard
- drive, it is recommended that you place the files in a subdirectory which
- is included in your PATH statement, as this will allow you to run the
- program from any place on your system.
-
- QUICK START:
- ------------
- In order to make FULL use of this powerful file finder, you will need to
- fully read the documentation, which is contained in a file called JFF.DOC.
- However, simply executing the command JFF HELP, followed by pressing the
- [ENTER] key will start the program and display a help screen listing
- examples of the various commands that are available to you.
-
- Alternately, if you include a filename.ext on the command line after JFF
- (separated by a single [SPACE]), the program will search the current drive
- (including all subdirectories) for the specified file. Valid DOS wildcard
- characters are accepted.
-
- PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION:
- ---------------------------
- The documentation file (JFF.DOC) is formatted for 70-characters per line,
- and 60-lines per page. To print the documentation, you can simply issue the
- following command from the DOS command line:
-
- COPY JFF.DOC PRN
-
- The documentation file contains form-feed characters, so it can also be
- printed by various printing utilities.
-
-

-
- So what is Shareware?
- ---------------------
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
- publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by
- copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed to
- try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back
- guarantees.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good
- and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
- primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
- shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
- meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are
- able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it takes to
- launch a traditional retail software product.
-
- The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
- products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
- you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow shareware authors
- to support and continue to develop their products.
-
- Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
- actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by
- your support!
