Thank you for trying this shareware version of CEnvi from Nombas,
a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
1. CEnvi Unregistered Shareware
1.1. Introduction to Cmm and CEnvi
Cmm (C minus minus) is 'C' for the rest of us. CEnvi runs Cmm
programs in the DOS, Windows, OS/2, NT, Unix, etc...
environments. Together, CEnvi and Cmm make the power and
flexibility of the C programming language part of every computer
user's environment, without the hardware, time, and programmer
resources needed for developing full-blown C programs.
With CEnvi and Cmm, anyone can take control of their computer
environment. C is not just for programming nerds anymore. CEnvi
utilites, macros, batch files, and scripts can quickly be
created, shared, and modified among all computer users,
professional and amateur alike.
CEnvi can be incorporated at a pace that is comfortable to you:
you may only want to use CEnvi code set up by a more experienced
user, you may want to enhance existing batch files with a line or
two of CEnvi code, or you may write complete utilities using
CEnvi.
1.2. CEnvi unregistered shareware version
This package is the unregistered shareware version of CEnvi.
Nombas provides this unregistered shareware version of CEnvi so
that you can try the program for a while before deciding whether
to buy. If, after a few weeks of using using this product, you
think CEnvi will be useful to you and/or your organization then
use the registration form at the end of this document (or see the
file: REGISTER.DOC) to register CEnvi.
1.2.1 Why you should register
If you register, then you will receive:
*The latest version of CEnvi for all supported platforms
(currently DOS, OS/2, and Windows, with NT support expected
soon) without the annoying "Please Register" reminder.
*The CEnvi user's manual (almost 100 pages, including a
description of the Cmm programming language, a tutorial for
those who have never programmed, and descriptions and
examples of the nearly 150 functions included in the CEnvi
library).
*Free incremental electronic downloads for new versions of
CEnvi for all supported operating systems.
*Unlimited support from Nombas and CEnvi/Cmm users through
CompuServe (72212,1622), internet (bsn@world.std.com), the
cenvi-cmm e-mail mailing list (cenvi-cmm@world.std.com), and
the Nombas BBS (617-391-6595).
*Access to the growing list of CEnvi utilities and libraries
(some of which are included in this unregistered shareware
package, and others are contributed by Nombas and CEnvi/Cmm
users to the electronic locations described above).
*Discounts for additional registered version of CEnvi to use
within your organization.
1.2.2 How to register
See the REGISTER.DOC document that is included with this package
(and is also duplicated at the end of this document), to purchase
a registered version of CEnvi.
1.3. Installing CEnvi, documents, and sample files
To install this package for evaluation
* Create a directory and then copy all of these files into that
directory.
* From within that directory execute CEnvi.exe.
* At the CEnvi "Code:" prompt enter "Install.cmm" to execute
the Install program (which is written in Cmm).
* You may then test CEnvi by trying out the included example
files and by creating CEnvi code of your own.
For DOS and OS/2 versions, the install.cmm program will set up
the PATH environment variable to include the directory you
installed the files in, and will also set the CMMPATH environment
variable to this directory. For Windows, install will add the
CMMPATH profile value in WIN.INI (in the [CEnvi] section), and
will also add the CMM file extension to the [Extensions] section
in WIN.INI.
1.3.1 4DOS and 4OS2 users - .cmm executable extension
4DOS and 4OS2 users can directly execute .cmm files by
associating the .cmm file extension with your CEnvi executable.
Assuming the CEnvi.exe is in the c:\CENVID directory, then a 4DOS
user would want to add this line to AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET .cmm=C:\CENVID\CEnvi.exe
1.4. Removing CEnvi unregistered shareware
If, after testing CEnvi for a few weeks, you choose not to
register this version of CEnvi, then you should remove the
program from your computer. (Also please consider telling Nombas
why CEnvi did not suit your needs; we need such feedback if we
are to improve the product.)
For all operating systems, the first step for removing CEnvi is
to delete all the CEnvi files and the directory that you copied
the files to. The next step depends on your operating system:
1.4.1 DOS de-installation
Install.cmm made two changes to C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT: the directory
that CEnvi was in will have been added to your PATH statement,
and the CMMPATH environment variable will have been added. To
de-install CEnvi you must remove the CEnvi directory from the
PATH statement and you must also delete the "SET CMMPATH=..."
line.
1.4.2 OS/2 de-installation
Install.cmm made two changes to C:\CONFIG.SYS: the directory that
CEnvi was in will have been added to your PATH statement, and the
CMMPATH environment variable will have been added. To de-install
CEnvi you must remove the CEnvi directory from the PATH statement
and you must also delete the "SET CMMPATH=..." line.
1.4.3 Windows de-installation
Install.cmm made two changes to WIN.INI: the CMM profile
extension was added and the CMMPATH profile string was created.
To de-install CEnvi you must edit WIN.INI (with NOTEPAD.EXE for
example) and remove from the [Extensions] section a line similar
to this:
CMM=C:\CENVI\CENVI.EXE ^.CMM
and also remove these line (or lines much like these) from
WIN.INI:
[CEnvi]
CMMPATH=E:\NOMBAS\CENVI\EXAMPLES.WIN
1.5. Using this package
1.5.1 Unregistered CEnvi shareware executable
The executable in this package, named CEnvi.EXE, is identical to
the registered version of CEnvi at the time this package was
created with one exception: this unregistered shareware version
will occasionally put up a screen to remind you to register your
copy of CEnvi (see the bottom of this document or REGISTER.DOC).
Nombas has spent, and will continue to spend, time and resources
developing and supporting CEnvi and Cmm. Without your honest
support Nombas cannot improve and support CEnvi (and pay
mortgage, feed the kids, pay the doctor, etc...).
It is likely that months have elapsed since this shareware
package has been put together (see date at the top of this file).
