The Hughes - Schoolfield Utilities
This is the popular Hughes-Schoolfield Utilities, released as
shareware.
Please note: If you would like to share this software with
others, by modem upload or other means, please distribute the
original archive file, HSUTILxx.ZIP A BBS announcemnet message,
(HS.ANN), is included to aid this purpose.
In this document, the instructions for the various programs in
this archive follow a description of the utilities, and our offer
to you.
Check out The Hughes-Schoolfield Utilities! If you like what you
see, consider registering it. If you do, we will send you the
ENTIRE Hughes - Schoolfield Utilities Set, described below.
This set of 35+ DOS utilities are being marketed as shareware
software by the authors for only $25.00, (and we will pay the
postage). The software comes with a well written manual on disk,
with a discussion of DOS and batch file hints, tricks, and many
examples. Great for all computer users, desk-top, lap-top,
novice to power user. Something for everyone.
You will be pleased to hear that there are NO TIMED MESSAGES,
COUNTED EXECUTIONS, OR HIDDEN MESSAGES IN THIS SOFTWARE. The
only plea for your reimbursement you will see is in this file,
not in the programs. Our emphasis is on the quality software.
So, here goes. We have poured hundreds of hours into the
development of these popular utilities. We listen to the
requests of our users. The HS Utilities represents one heck of a
value. We decided the price of $25 was affordable to everyone,
so we are betting on your registration. The smaller programs
have been included in the distribution archive, and the "heavy
weights" are reserved for you upon registration, (they have your
name on them!).
We will mail you the complete Hughes - Schoolfield Utilities pack
with a well written manual on disk for a registration of $25.00
or more, please see the enclosed REGISTER.FRM. You may easily
print this form by running the PRINTIT batch file. See also the
Software License at the very end of this document. We reserve
the right to change the price, content, and scope of the product
without notice.
