*** INTERNATIONAL USERS PLEASE READ ***
This version of The Grocery Lister has been designed to allow for easy
conversion to other languages and monetary systems. The display of the
item amount field can be configured by the user as needed. All text
in the program is located in the resource file so it can be translated
and other language resource files can be easily included. If you are
interested in translating this program and/or it's documentation to your
native language, please contact me at the above addresses.
*** DISTRIBUTION POLICY ***
This archive may be distributed via any means as long as all files are
included and remain in their original unaltered form. Once The Grocery
Lister has been registered with a valid serial number and code key, the
program and support files may not be distributed or copied, except for
archival purposes, and are to be used only by the registered user and/or
immediate family.
The original zip archive contains the following files:

README.TXT 1214 This text file

The Neodesk icon was created with the built-in icon editor. NeoDesk is a
trademark of Gribnif Software.
The Falcon icons were created with ICDRAW by W.D.Parks/Dr. Bobware and
can be added to the DESKICON.RSC using same program.
The user manual is an ASCII export of a nicely formated Atari Works file
and as such the ASCII file is somewhat crude. You can obtain a printed
copy of the nicely formatted version for $5.00.
The grocery file format has changed in version 4.2, but the program is
now able to automatically load and convert version 4.0 & 4.1 files
without the need of a conversion program. Future versions will also
be designed to automatically load any v4.0+ file. However, v4.2+ files
can not be loaded by program version 4.0 & 4.1.
*** A FINAL NOTE ***
I have been working on this program for many years and have spent countless
hours at the keyboard trying to improve it. Most of this effort resulted
from the requests of the handful of users who have taken the time to
provide feedback and suggestions. Some have even bothered to register!
Although I would greatly appreciate your monetary support, I would just
as much appreciate your suggestions for making this program more useful
and/or easier to use. Please feel free to contact me at the addresses
above and let me know what you think. Of course, bugs reports should
be sent as well.
Thanks,
Randy
