- Trial Period
- ------------
-
- Gibbon FTP has a trial period. If you don't register before the trial
- period expires, the program will no longer run. The trial period expires
- 30 days from the date of first use. The logo panels that are displayed
- when the program starts will inform you of the number of days remaining
- in your trial period.
-
- The unregistered version of Gibbon FTP has one limitation. It will only
- connect to one FTP server at a time. The registered version will allow
- you to connect to multiple servers.
-

-
- Helpful Tips
- ------------
-
- The online help contains a "How do I...?" section that may answer
- some of your questions or provide tips on some things you may not
- otherwise know about.
-
- Just about everything is drag-and-drop enabled, including groups,
- servers, local files, and remote files. Drag-and-drop can be used
- to copy or move servers, move groups, and to upload and download
- files.
-
- Most of the fonts and colors for each window can be set using the
- General Settings notebook. These can also be changed by dropping
- fonts or colors from the system font and color pallettes. You
- can also change the font for the status line at the bottom of the
- session window. If you change the font, the status line will not
- resize immediately, but will be the proper height the next time
- you open a session.
-
- The GCPFTP.HLP file is pretty complete. Please use it! If you
- have any questions or problems, chances are the help files will
- have the answers.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- An installation program, GCPINST.EXE was included in the package. Once
- you start GCPINST, the installation should be self-explanatory. The
- installation program will copy the files to the appropriate directories,
- optionally update your CONFIG.SYS file, and optionally create objects on
- your desktop.
-
- If all files are installed to the "Base Directory" your CONFIG.SYS will
- not be updated. If the "Program Directory" is changed, then the PATH
- in CONFIG.SYS will be changed. If the "Help Directory" and the "DLL
- Directory" are the same as the "Program Directory" no other changes
- will be made to CONFIG.SYS, otherwise the HELPPATH and LIBPATH will be
- updated.
-
- The installation program can also be used to recreate your desktop objects
- or update your CONFIG.SYS file, should you lose the desktop objects or
- the CONFIG.SYS changes. These functions are performed by selecting the
- appropriate options in the installation program. These options will be
- on the fourth page.
