│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │

│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │

│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │

│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │

shopping list. Once GMW is setup, enter how
many days to plan meals for, what dishes to
have on each day, and a shopping list & menu

certain day, the ingredients for that meal
will be automatically included in a shopping
list that GMW makes.

===== Installation =====================================
IMPORTANT!!! Please Read:
The install program AND Grocery Manager REQUIRE that VBRUN200.DLL be in
one of the directories in your path, your Windows directory, or your
Windows System directory, or they won't run.
VBRUN200.DLL isn't included in this archive because many people already
have it, it's big (357K), and it is very annoying to have a big file
included that you already have. It can be found separately on many
BBS'es (see list at the end of this section), and it is available on the
WINSHARE forum on Compuserve as VBRUN2.ZIP.
Be sure a copy of VBRUN200.DLL is in your path, your Windows directory,
or your Windows System directory, then follow the instructions below:
{{ UPGRADING FROM V.1.09 OR PRIOR TO V.2.20 }}
If you're currently using version 1.09 or older of GMW, and you want to
continue using the information you've saved in the previous version,
DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps:
First, make a copy of EVERYTHING in your GMW directory
(it's the safe & smart thing to do!).
Copy these files from GMW220.ZIP to your GMW directory:
CONVERT.EXE
GMW.EXE
GMW.INI
GMW_DOCS.WRI
GMW.HLP
TOOLBUTN.VBX
Run CONVERT.EXE to convert your existing data to v.2.20's format. Click
on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT.EXE to read specific details
about the conversion program. After successfully converting your data,
you are ready to use GMW v.2.20.
{{ UPGRADING FROM V.2.00 or v.2.02 TO V.2.20 }}
If you're currently using version 2.00 or 2.02 of GMW, and you want to
continue using the information you've saved in the previous version,
DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps:
Copy these files from GMW220.ZIP to your GMW directory:
CONVERT2.EXE
GMW.EXE
GMW_DOCS.WRI
GMW.HLP
Run CONVERT2.EXE to convert your existing data to v.2.20's format. Click
on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT2.EXE to read specific details
about the conversion program. After successfully converting your data,
you are ready to use GMW v.2.20.
{{ UPGRADING FROM V.2.10 - V.2.16 to v.2.20 }}
If you're currently using version 2.10 - 2.16 of GMW, and you
want to continue using the information you've saved in the previous
version, DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps:
Copy these files from GMW220.ZIP to your GMW directory:
GMW.EXE
GMW_DOCS.WRI
GMW.HLP
{{ INSTALLING GROCERY MANAGER FOR WINDOWS }}
Automatic Installation:
Unzip GMW220.ZIP onto a floppy or into an empty directory on your hard
drive. While in Windows, start INSTALL.EXE. You will be presented with a
default directory for GMW to be installed into. This can be changed to
anything you want, but please keep GMW in its own directory. Select "No"
if you don't want a program group created for GMW (Install defaults to
"Yes"), and then click on the start button. Click on the Exit button
when the installation is complete, and then delete all files from the
directory you unzipped GMW220.ZIP into.
Manual Installation:
Place VBISAMMX.DLL in your Windows System directory, create a directory
for GMW, and place all remaining files into it.
{{ GMW SAMPLE FILES AND A QUICK TOUR OF GMW }}
Included with GMW are some sample files so you can evaluate GMW without
having to manually enter any data. These files are copied to your hard
drive during the automatic installation. The sample files will enable
you to see how Grocery Manager works.
Immediately after installing GMW, go to the View menu, and
browse through the various screens to view. The sample files are
set up so that you can view or printout a sample menu and shopping list
without going through the usual steps to make one. Select Shopping List
from the View menu. This is an example of what you would take to the
grocery store. Select Menu from the View menu. This is a sample of a
menu that shows what meals are planned on each day.
When you get to the point that you want to enter your own data,
you may either modify the existing data, or delete it and start over. To
completely delete the data and start over, be sure that GMW isn't
running, and go to the directory that GMW was installed in and delete
all the data files by typing the following command at a DOS prompt: "Del
*.IS?".

----- Registration Information -----
The registration fee for Grocery Manager (including shipping) is:
$30 via mail to USA or Canada
$35 via mail to other countries
$30 via email to any country
Registering entitles you to:
1) A licensed copy of GMW. It doesn't have the "Unregistered Evaluation
Version" reminder on the main screen or printouts, nor the opening
info screen.
2) Free updates, automatically sent to you, for one year from
registering.
3) Support for Grocery Manager. You may contact me in any
of the following ways:
a) US Mail. Send to:
Paul Davison
Absolute Value Software
4325 SW Stoddard Dr.
Aloha, OR 97007
b) CompuServe email. My account number is 72327,1673.
c) Internet. Address messages to: 72327.1673@compuserve.com
d) RIME (RelayNet) ASP conference
There is no time limit to receiving support after becoming a registered
user. Feel free to contact me in any of the above mentioned ways, and I
will respond as soon as I can. CompuServe is the fastest way to get a
message to me. It is extremely rare that I am not on CompuServe daily.
Please feel free to contact me if you are evaluating Grocery Manager and
have any questions, problems or comments.
SHIPPING OPTIONS:
U.S. Mail:
Your registered copy and all updates will be sent first class mail.
Electronic Delivery of GMW:
If you can be reached via some form of email, I can probably deliver GMW
to you electronically.
Compuserve:
If you have CompuServe's Standard Plan, it won't cost any more than your
normal monthly fee to receive GMW via electronic mail (with the Standard
Plan, CompuServe charges you to SEND electronic mail, NOT to receive
it).
Internet:
Binary files can't be sent via Internet, but they can be if they are
UUEncoded to an ASCII format. If you can UUDecode, I can send GMW to you
over the Internet. If you have no idea what UUEncoding & UUDecoding is
but would like to know, do some searching on your favorite BBS, the
Internet, or favorite Online service with the keywords UUENCode &
UUDecode. Look for a program called WINCODE. It is a Windows program
that UUEncodes & UUDecodes (and it is free).
America Online (AOL):
At the time of this writing (3/22/94), I have plans to open an AOL
account in the next few weeks. If you are on AOL and are interested in
electronic delivery of GMW, send me email to my Compuserve account, and
I'll let you know if I've got my AOL account open and can deliver GMW to
you (thus avoiding the UUDecoding you'd have to do if I sent it through
the Internet).
