INSTALLING.
If you downloaded Odyssey Shareware Version from a BBS, then it probably
came as a file called ODY150SH.ZIP, and contained the following files:-
ODY150SH.LZH - The Odyssey Shareware Program - archived.
INSTALL.EXE - Odyssey Installation Program.
READ.ME - You are reading it now.
DISTRIB.DOC - Guidelines for distribution
LICENSE.DOC - License Terms for using Odyssey
ORDER.ME - Order form for TRIUS products
You may if you wish now unpack the LZH file using LHARC, however the
reason for packing the files in this way is to make it easier for you to
install, using the supplied installation program, which will also create
the necessary configuration files etc. Here's how to to use the install
program:-
1. Change to the drive/directory containing the above files.
2. run INSTALL.
For example, if the files came on a floppy, then (pressing <Enter> after
each line) :-
a: -- change to your floppy drive.
install -- start the install program.
INSTALL will ask you for any details it requires during installation, such
as what drive and directory to use, what port your modem is connected to,
etc. It does NOT change your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT or do any other
strange tricks. When it's done you are ready to go. Enjoy your evaluation
period! Remember to read ODY150SH.DOC for summarized info on using the
package.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEGALESE (short version).
This package is a SHAREWARE distribution version of the Odyssey
Communications program. It has been provided to allow you to fully
evaluate the usefulness of the Odyssey package BEFORE spending your hard
earned pennies.
Please remember that SHAREWARE does NOT mean "Free Software", and it most
certainly does NOT mean that Odyssey is in the public domain. The purpose
of the Odyssey shareware version is solely to allow you to decide whether
or not Odyssey meets your needs. If it does, then we expect you to pay for
it! If you downloaded the package from a BBS, then you have not paid for
it, whether or not the BBS has connect charges. If you got the program
from a disk library, then you have NOT paid for Odyssey - you only paid
for the disk.
You are hereby granted a limited license to use and evaluate Odyssey
Shareware Version for 30 days. If at the end of that time you no longer
wish to use Odyssey then either remove it from your PC, or give it away.
If you continue to use it you MUST register your copy with TRIUS, Inc.
You may not include the shareware version of Odyssey with any other
product, whether hardware or software, without specific permission in
writing from TRIUS, Inc. or the authors. For example, you may not
bundle Odyssey Shareware Version on a disk with any computer you sell, nor
may you include it with any software you distribute, whether or not that
software is paid for, without prior written permission.
Permissions to distribute Odyssey Shareware Version are found in the file
DISTRIB.DOC.
