- I. INTRODUCTION
-
- WYND-DOS is a utility program which allows you to perform functions
- such as formatting disks, copying and deleting files, and creating
- subdirectories - all from a friendly environment - without having to
- type commands at a DOS prompt.
-
- WYND-DOS requires a computer with at least 256K memory, operating with
- PC or MS DOS 3.0 or greater. If you have a mouse connected, WYND-DOS
- will detect it, and a full mouse interface will be available to you.
-
- WYND-DOS is user-supported software. You are encouraged to use, copy,
- and distribute it as freely as you wish. But if you do find it
- useful, we ask that you please send a registration fee of $30.00 to
- WYNDWARE, One Parker Place, Suite 308, Janesville, WI 53545. When
- you send in your fee, you will receive the latest version of WYND-DOS
- and will become eligible to receive updates to the program as
- improvements are made to it.
-
- WYND-DOS is also available from the above address as part of a hard-
- disk menu system, WYNDSHELL. The registration fee for the WYNDSHELL /
- WYND-DOS combination is $45.00.
-
- While we have done our best to create a good product, this program is
- supplied "as is". The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
- implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
- merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
- liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
- the use of WYND-DOS.

- VI. WHY REGISTER?
-
- The program contained on this disk is a fully operational program with
- complete documentation. You are encouraged to use, copy, and
- distribute it as freely as you wish. But if you do find it useful, we
- ask that you please register your copy. There are several reasons why
- it is to your advantage to do this:
-
- 1. This is the only way in which this software is supported.
- WYNDWARE depends on your registration fee for our continued
- existence. If we do not receive your registration, we will be
- unable to continue offering programs like this to you.
-
- 2. By registering, you are assured of receiving the most up-to-date
- and full-featured product possible. We are continually upgrading
- our products, making them more powerful and easier to use. When
- you register, you will receive a copy of the most current version
- of the program, and will be placed on our list to receive notices
- of new revisions when they become available.
-
- 3. The initial registration reminder screen which appears at the
- beginning of the program is removed when you install your
- registered copy, saving you an extra keystroke when you start the
- program.
-
- 4. While the documentation in this manual, and in the on-disk
- Reference Manual, does cover every feature of the program, the
- User's Guide you will receive upon registration does offer an
- additional illustrated Tutorial section which can help you
- step-by-step to learn the program in a logical and detailed
- order.
-
- 5. As an added incentive for registering at this time, we will also
- include with your order a copy of THE HIVE, our strategy game for
- up to 4 players (including the computer if you wish). This game
- is ONLY available to registered users of our products and is
- included at NO additional cost.
-
-
- To become a registered owner of WYND-DOS, or to order other WYNDWARE
- products, use the convenient order form in the back of this booklet or
- call 1-800-475-1628 for credit card orders.

- Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
- principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-
- related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly,
- ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
- dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical
- support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
- 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a Compuserve message
