║ FEATHERNET PRO! TEST DRIVE DEMOG CODE: TPI12 ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate the FeatherNet PRO!
v1.01 Bulletin Board System. Many thousands of hours and much
sweat has gone into producing this quality BBS package and we
have every bit of confidence that you will agree it is among the
best world wide.
We at FeatherNet Software, Inc. have and will always support the
concept of the Shareware distribution system. We have released
to the public many fine FREEWARE TSR utilities for the SysOp and
also quality Shareware utilities and Doors. We have been Sysops
and do realize that there are a lot of utilities and other
programs that are not worth the disk space they occupy. That is
why we support the "try before you buy", shareware system.
We think you will agree that when someone does find a shareware
program of use, and uses it to complete a job or continues to run
it, they should register it. This supports the authors and also
encourages them to continue development of the their software.
We also know this is, unfortunately, not the case with everybody.
For this reason we have had to impose a few small limitations on
the TEST DRIVE release to help encourage those who might other-
wise try to abuse our hard work.
We feel that 30 days is a sufficient enough time to completely
evaluate FeatherNet PRO! v1.01TD.
Below are the limitation of FeatherNet PRO! v1.01 Test Drive:
AT LOGON:
For the first 30 days there will be a 5 second delay when the
user logs on. Once 30 days has been reached, there will be an
additional 1 second added for each day past the initial 30 days.
DOORS:
There will be a limitation of 1 door. Once the 30 day evalua-
tion period has expired, there will be a delay when entering the
door.
CONFERENCES:
FeatherNet PRO! can run as many as 1024 conferences. However,
the Test Drive version is limited to 5.
NOTE: You may completely setup ALL conferences but only the
first 5 will be able to be accessed until registered.
USERS:
FeatherNet PRO! is able to handle essentially unlimited users.
The Test Drive version is limited to 50 callers until registered.

UPLOAD TESTING:
FeatherNet PRO! includes our quality upload tester and conversion
utility, ULTester. During the evaluation period, ULTester will
work with NO limitations. However, after the evaluation period
ULTester will cease to work until FeatherNet PRO! is registered.
While we realize that inserting a few limitations in the soft-
ware is not highly looked upon. We think that you will agree
that there are too many who would mistake "shareware" or "test
drive" with "freeware". We hope you understand our position on
this.
Once again, thank you for your evaluatiion of FeatherNet PRO!
v1.01 Test Drive. If we can be of any assistance to you while
setting it up, please feel free to make use of the FeatherNet
UnRegistered SysOps Conference on the FeatherNet HQ BBS in Tampa,
FL at (813) 249-8422.
Now..... Let's get on with installing the all new FeatherNet PRO!
v1.01 BBS package.
┌────────────┐
│ IMPORTANT! │
└────────────┘
BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR ANSI DRIVER LOADED!
Normally this is in your CONFIG.SYS file in the C:\ directory.
If your using DOS's ANSI.SYS there would (or should) be a line
entered like this:
EXAMPLE: DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
There are 4 files that makeup FeatherNet PRO!:
FNP101A.ZIP FNP101C.ZIP
FNP101B.ZIP FNP101D.ZIP
1) Place all 4 of the above named files in a temporary work
directory.
2) Unzip FNP101A.ZIP.
┌────────────┐
│ IMPORTANT! │
└────────────┘
DO NOT UNZIP ANY OTHER FILE EXCEPT FOR "FNP10ATD.ZIP"!
NOTE: If you have unzipped any of the other files into any
directory, delete them and start again as FeatherNet's
INSTALFN program will handle the unarchiving.

3) Run INSTALFN.EXE and follow the instructions.
4) Once the installation has ended, reboot your computer.
5) Once rebooted, change to the \FNET directory. You will find
an unregistered copy of DSZxxxx.ZIP file (xxxx = date of
release). You will need to unarchive this file in the
\FNET directory. This is needed BEFORE ANY files may be
uploaded.
You may register DSZ and other fine products for a nominal
fee by contacting:

6) Change to the \FNET\DOCS directory, then print and READ
FNP101.DOC! We have put a LOT of hours into producing the
documentation for FeatherNet PRO! for your ease of use.
FeatherNet PRO! will be up and running within minutes!

version, please log on to our Support BBS and leave a message.
We will answer it "Within" 24 hours. When requesting help,
