1.0 Software License ------------------------------------------------
Non-registered users are licensed to use our program for a reasonable
trial period. If you intend to continue using our program,
registration with Sonshine Software is mandatory.
This program is "shareware". Shareware is a marketing method
by which a user can "test drive" the program before paying
for it. The normal "test drive" period is up to 30 days.
Registration is just $79 (plus $5 shipping). Included with
registration is the right to use the program, the latest version
of the program, and 30 days of free telephone support for
installation.
Fees paid for a copy of this program from a disk dealer or shareware
distributor do not constitute registration. This means that when you
pay a shareware distributor $3-4 for a copy, you have paid for
an evaluation copy only.

To run the system it is recommended that you have a hard disk.
Dos Version 3.0 or higher is also recommended. Ram Memory should

=========== THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!! =============
You MUST have a CONFIG.SYS file on your startup disk. If you
have a hard disk then this file must be in your root directory
i.e. "C:\". If you are using floppies then this file must be on
your DOS diskette. The file must contain the following
statements:
FILES=35
BUFFERS=30
The system will not run unless these commands are added to your
CONFIG.SYS file. Once you have added them you must reboot your
system. This can be accomplished by CTRL-ALT-DEL sequence or
turning off the computer and turning it back on.
