- Limited Run Time demo mode -
-
-
- Q87 will run for 20 minutes at a time without a valid Run Code. Any
- application that is using Q87 after 20 minutes will be shut down by
- Q87. You will hear your computer beep when this happens. Some
- applications will generate an execution error when this happens, but
- that has no effect on Windows. Just shut down your computer at that
- point, but first remove Q87 from your autoexec.bat if you don't want
- Q87 to run. If you are running Windows 95, you also must remove Q87
- from your system.ini file.
-
-
-
- Installing your Run Code -
-
-
- Q87 will first load from your autoexec.bat file during startup. You
- will see an information screen followed by an order form screen. If you
- register Q87, you will receive a Run Code which you will place after Q87
- in your autoexec.bat, as in -
-
- c:\Q87\Q87 829-982-892
-
- The number shown here is an example only. You may run Install again
- to install your Run Code.
