- CONNECT.TXT - A short documentation on the demo version of CoNnect
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Last update: Version 2.46 (27.2.1994)
-
- INTRO
- =====
-
-
- WARNING:
- ========
-
- Read this file carefully before installing CoNnect on your
- disk. Don't blame me for any inconvenience caused by not
- following the given instructions...
-
- The Update to CoNnect 2.4x
- will be charged with DM 10,- ($8, £6). Even so far registered
- users (not including beta testers) will have to pay this update
- fee before being able to run CoNnect as an unlimited version.
- So don't overwrite your old CoNnect until you got the key for
- the new version and beware of loading old OPT or SET files with
- the new version. You might want to unpack the CONNECT.LZH now
- after having read this lines to install the new version.
-
- In case you have installed HSMODEM on your system, make sure
- to replace the old copy with the new version included in this
- distribution. The new HSModem does also support the two additional
- SCC serial devices for a common ST which will run at up to 115200
- bps. Ask Harun_Scheutzow@b.maus.de for detailled information.

- About CoNnect
- -------------
-
- CoNnect is a terminal program for the ATARI ST/STE/TT series,
- which will run under (nearly) any resolution and operating
- system similar to the ATARI TOS. It allows a very good emulation
- of VT52, VT100, VT102/ANSI, VT220 and TEK4014 Terminals. You can use
- this emulations on all serial and midi ports of your system
- and - if you want - even in parallel. CoNnect was testet on
- lots of graphics hardware and it seems to run well with all
- of them.
-
- Beeing in VT100, Vt102 or VT220 Mode you can configure CoNnect
- to allow TEK 4014 graphics emulation.
-
- In addition to its terminal features you can use CoNnect under
- MiNT/MultiTOS to run shells and processes in CoNnects windows.
-
- I tried hard to develop CoNnect without bugs and a large number
- of beta testers helped me with that task. Nevertheless CoNnect
- certainly contains some bugs and I refuse any responsibility
- on damage which is caused by the usage or non-usage of CoNnect.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Conversion to English:
-
- First rename the File CONNECT.RSC, e.g. to CONNECT.RSX, so that
- you won't lose the original resource file. Then change the filename
- CONNENG.RSC to CONNECT.RSC. Do the same for the file CONNECT.HLP.
-
- Your distribution might already include this changes.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Files
- ---------
-
- In the archive CONN110i.LZH you should have found at least the
- following files:

-
- CoNnect is SHAREWARE!
- ---------------------
-
- CoNnect runs in shareware status. That means, that you can test
- this program and copy it without fees but you'll have to pay
- for CoNnect if you use it regularly. If you copy CoNnect be sure
- to only copy the original archive file containing all the files
- belonging to this software package.
-
- After 30 hours of testing CoNnect behaves less user friendly
- (some options will be disabled) because it believes that this
- time of testing is more than enough to find a decision for or
- against CoNnect.
-
- If you pay for CoNnect, you'll receive a registration key which
- will make a full version out of your demo.
-
- And read this urgent warning:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- ! Trying to avoid the testing time limit of 30 hours by patching !
- ! CoNnects code may have bad effects on the safety of your data. !
- ! I refuse any liability in case a damage occurs. !
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- After testing this software you have to decide whether
- you want continue using CoNnect or not. In the latter case, you
- have to do nothing or if you want you may remove CoNnect from
- your system.
-
- If you like using CoNnect you have to pay a registration fee of
-
- DM 60,- + additional DM 10,- for
- foreign orders
-
- (commercial versions for commercial use have do cost 150,-DM see
- the online help for further explanation).
-
- Remember that I really want to receive this money and keep in
- mind that any institution which will do the transaction can
