------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to be able to run JSPELL (and DICTMAN) in any directory,
either add C:\JSPELL to your PATH or put two batch files
JSPELL.BAT and DICTMAN.BAT into one of your directories in PATH.
The content of the batch files jspell.bat and dictman.bat should
look like
@echo off
C:\JSPELL\jspell.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
and
@echo off
C:\JSPELL\dictman.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
respectively.
The default configuration of JSPELL is set to VGA and AT-keyboard.
Also we assume that you work under the plain-vanilla DOS
environment. If your computer's configuration and/or environment
is different from this, then you will need to read (Section I.4)
of the documentation file manual.doc.
If you are going to run JSPELL under a networked environment,
then please read (Appendix A.) of manual.doc to complete the
installation.
In order to print out the documentation file manual.doc, your
printer must be able to handle the IBM graphic characters
correctly.

Licensing, distribution and registration
This version of JSPELL is not public domain or free software, but
is being distributed as a shareware (i.e., try-before-you-buy-
software) for evaluation purposes only. If you decide to
continue using this after the 31 day evaluation period, then
please register at
$27 + shipping($4) regular version, or
$12.5 + shipping($1) lite version
You may freely distribute this shareware version of JSPELL,
unmodified in its entirety to others who are interested in evaluating
the software. You may use any file compressor/archiver (e.g, zip,
arc, zoo etc.) in distributing this software under the provision that
the first 5 letters of the filename are JSPEL. However, you may not
modify, alter, reverse engineer this software in any ways. Registered
copies of JSPELL are not to be copied or distributed except as
provided for in the next paragraph. Sysops of BBS, computer-related
user groups, managers of public FTP sites, and ASP approved disk
vendors are permitted and encouraged to distribute this software
without any specific permission from the author provided that the
conditions above are met. See VENDOR.DOC for more information.
Purchasing a license (i.e., registering) for JSPELL entitles you to
use the program on any and all computers available to you, provided
that you do not operate JSPELL on more than one computer or terminal
at the same time and you do not operate JSPELL on a network or a
multi-user system. Copying/duplication this software is permitted
only for the purpose of backup and/or archiving.
For users who do not need TeX-ability, lite version is available
at lower price. Lite version does not include the printed
manual. (TeX is a text-formatting system by D.Knuth, mainly
used by (pure) science people.)
