REGISTRATION REMINDERS
Unlicensed copies of Simply Shareware products are 100% fully
functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real
look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or
not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use
it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you
well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our
products do have a registration reminder screen that appears
whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect
your evaluation of our software.
We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our
software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
call the nice people at our 800 number and register the
software.
When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with
your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the
same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more
of what you like will almost magically become available.
LEGAL MATTERS
Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not
responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held
responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees
you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near
the bottom of this file.
HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE
Use our snazzy setup program...
1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications.
(You do have to be in Windows to run WSETUP.EXE)
2) Double-Click on the WSETUP.EXE program or from
Program Manager, using File/Run, type the drive
letter of your floppy drive and wsetup.
ie. a:\wsetup
3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify
an initial directory, or accept the given default.
4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want
to install, do your selections, or just hit the
INSTALL ALL button. Hit the OK button to continue.
******************* MANUAL INSTALL ***********************
If you cannot use the snazzy setup program, and must do a
manual install.....good luck. Basically installing our
products without going through the setup program is
"unsupported", as installation of Windows products does
get tricky. However as to not leave you completely in the
lurch....
1) Most files to be installed by the installation
program end in an underscore "_". The files might be
compressed.
If you received the files on a DISK, the probability
is HIGH that you must expand the files with our
WEXPAND (see below) program before use.
If you received the files packaged in a ZIP file, the
probability is LOW and you may simply rename the
files to the correct name.
If you try to expand a file that was not compressed,
the expand program will NOT give an error message,
and will NOT correctly process the file. In general,
if the output from the expand program is smaller than
the file that went in, the expand program should not
be used.
2) The files (generally) must either be expanded into
files with the correct names, or must be renamed,
prior to use.
3) In general, the DLL files should go into your WINDOWS
directory, or else some directory mentioned in your
DOS path statement.
*** USING THE WEXPAND PROGRAM ***
1) Copy the files WEXPAND.EXX and WEXPAN1.EXX from the
installation disk to a temp directory on your computer.
2) Rename the files so that they have a EXE extension.
The files were named with the EXX extension to keep
most people out of trouble.
3) Copy the files you wish to expand into the temp
directory. Lets say its WINFO16I.EX_
In which case type at the DOS Prompt...
WEXPAND WINFO16I.EX_ WINFO16I.EXE
4) Make sure the output file (WINFO16I.EXE in this case)
is LARGER than the input file (WINFO16I.EX_),
otherwise the file was not compressed. In that case
delete the incorrectly expanded file and rename the
original file as follows:
ERASE WINFO16I.EXE
REN WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE
5) Repeat for each of the six million files on the floppy.
UN-INSTALL INFORMATION
The snazzy setup program will create a DOS batch file -
UNINSTAL.BAT in the target directory that will un-install the
product just installed.
You may either review the batch file and perform a manual
uninstall, or, if you have not installed any products *after*
installing this product, go ahead and run the batch file.
If you have installed several products before deciding to
uninstall this, the uninstall will *generally* work
successfully. The only problem that occurs is when this
product uninstalls a file that the other products use.
In general, this will only be a problem when you install
several of our products, and will be much less of a problem if
you install products from other vendors. If problems occur,
usually all that is required is to re-install the product
that is complaining about the lack of a file.
A quick review of the uninstall batch file, and deleting a line
or two for files you know are used by other products may be all
that is required to successfully run the uninstall.
