│ How to Distribute JEPRS │
└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Who can distribute JEPRS?
All BBSes are encouraged to distribute JEPRS and to
inform their users about the shareware concept (specifically, that
users are free to try the software out for 90 days, and are then
required to register if they continue using the software). We
recommend that BBSes become BBS members of the Association of
Shareware Professionals.
Non-profit organizations (including computer clubs and user
groups) are entitled to distribute these programs without obtaining
an individual license agreement. These groups are encouraged to
inform their members that shareware is not free software, and
continued use of the software obligates payment to the author.
I reserve the right to deny or remove distribution rights
from any vendor, BBS, or non-profit organization at any time.
Compressed files.
JEPRS is provided in a compressed form (as Zipped files). You may
provide these programs to your customers in any form (compressed
or not) that you see fit, as long as all the files on this
distribution diskette are included.
You may not exclude any files without the express, written
consent of the author. Note: Louis M. Miranda is fully licensed
by PKWare, Inc. to release JEPRS and Med2Go in a self-extracting
PKSfx-Jr format.
Price for shareware copy.
You must agree not to charge more than US$15 for a shareware copy
of JEPRS.

└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This section contains 2 parts: Registration Information; and a "What's New"
description.
JEPRS is generally announced on bulletin boards under
the "database" or "word processing" sections (or both). For
consistency, I prefer the "database" section.
If your BBS mentions ASP membership for authors &
programs, please denote JEPRS as such a program, since its
author is a member of the ASP.
One-line description. If your BBS provides a short, one-
line description, you might consider:
>> "JEPRS v2.5: Bibliographic Database System (ASP Shareware)"
If your BBS provides searchable keywords, you might
consider the following:
>> JEPRS Jeepers Bibliography Database Med2Go WordPerfect ASP Shareware <<
Program Description. Note that this package should contain a
FILE_ID.DIZ file containing a description for BBSes. If this
file is missing, or if you need a longer description, see the
descriptions in the VENDOR.DOC file.
*************************************************************************
Registration Information:
*************************************************************************
Registration is US$49.95 + $4 postage ($10 postage outside USA),
and registered users receive the latest copy of the program on disk, 6
months of free technical support and a 60-page, laser-printed, ring-bound
manual. In addition, registered users receive both DOS and Microsoft
Windows versions of Med2Go, a MedLine file translation utility for
Biomedical researchers & clinicians. Registered users also receive
Peruse, a mouse-compatible file viewing utility.

What's New (for additional information, see the file WhatsNew.Doc):
*******************************************************************
VERSION 2.57
We have moved and the documentation has been updated to show
our new Minnesota address.
Jeepers 1.0 for Windows is now available! It has complete
file compatibility (including both database files and formatting
files) with JEPRS 2.5 for DOS. Jeepers for Windows requires Word for
Windows, WordPerfect for Windows, or AmiPro for Windows in order to
print bibliographies.
VERSION 2.56
Bug fix: There was a problem importing MedLine files: If the
journal name included a number in it, it would not import correctly.
This has been fixed.
VERSION 2.55
Bug fix: A problem reading certain WordPerfect files was fixed
(the problem only occurred on files of specific lengths).
VERSION 2.54
Major Enhancement: If you cite a reference more than once at the
Format Menu (either in a Number File, Word Processor Input File, or at the
Keyboard), JEPRS will now include it only once in the bibliography (even
if the references are sorted). This feature was added due to requests from
users.
Bug fix: No longer adds a title to your word processor output file
(this is not necessary, since your word processor can do it better)
Bug fix: JEPRS occasionally had problems reading WordPerfect files.
It would sometimes not find any JEPRS codes in your manuscript, even if
they were actually there. This only happened if you had certain combinations
of formatting codes at the very beginning of your WordPerfect document. This
has been fixed.
Bug fix: If you used the Format menu to format references from a
Number file or Word Processor Input File, and there were more citations
than references in your database (for example, if one reference were cited
several times), JEPRS might crash. This has been fixed.
VERSION 2.53:
"Black and White" mode has been modified to work correctly on
*all* computers (including portables).
A *rare* problem with the *.Jpr and *.Jpk database files has been
fixed. The problem was that if the power was cut off before JEPRS was
exited, the files were not properly written to disk; when this happened
the files became corrupted and the user had to write to me to get the
database files fixed. This update forces JEPRS to write all the data to
your disk after any reference is added, imported, or edited. This slows
down the operation slightly on floppy disks (hard disks are fast enough
that you shouldn't notice a difference), but provides greater data
safety.
VERSION 2.52:
Bug fix: creating configuration files now works correctly.
Also, A NEW ADDRESS FOR CONTACTING THE AUTHOR AND SENDING IN
REGISTRATIONS!
VERSION 2.51:
Several bug fixes and enhancements have been made. When entering
references, you can now enter foreign (non-English) characters that the
IBM PC supports. In addition, when you send references to a WordPerfect
5.0/5.1-compatible output file, JEPRS automatically translates the IBM PC
foreign characters into WordPerfect's character sets. A bug has been
fixed that occasionally displayed extra text when adding references.
VERSION 2.50:
Version 2.5 of JEPRS automates much of the tedium associated
with reference management. It can now generate output in the form of
WordPerfect 5.0/5.1 files or PC-Write 3.0 files, including attributes
for boldface, underline, italics, superscripts, and subscripts. It can
also "read" codes you place in your WordPerfect or PC-Write documents,
and *automatically* generate a bibliography based on those references.
In fact, it can even go back and replace those codes in your document
with an author+year citation (such as "Smith, et al. (1991)") or sequen-
tial numbers.
Other new features include the ability to insert periods after
authors' initials (if you enter authors as "Miranda LM", it can option-
ally convert it to "Miranda L.M."), as well as being capable of sorting
references at the Search and Format Menus by author, journal, or year.
In addition, sorting is much faster than in version 2.0. Registered
users now get Med2Go, a MedLine interconversion utility, free of charge.
Finally, JEPRS has improvements in its user interface. It is
now mouse-compatible at the menus and help system. And entering refer-
ences is made easier by having scrollable windows in which to enter
text.
