- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Thank you for your interest in WinKillr!!
-
- You will find this utility to be extremely helpful in controlling the
- timed shutdown of your applications.
-
- Please be sure to start WinKillr itself before attempting to use it with
- other applications. This will assure the proper path is established in
- the WINKILLR.INI file in your WINDOWS directory.
-
- See the on-line help file for further details and suggestions for use.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- Packing List:
-
- FILE_ID.DIZ - Program description used by BBSs
- README.TXT - This file
- SETUPWK.EXE - WinKillr's installation program
- VENDINFO.DIZ - Distribution information file - partially encoded
- VENDOR.TXT - Information of interest to shareware distributors
- and BBSs in ASCII format
-
- The files below are in compressed format and will be expanded by
- SETUPWK when it is run - they CANNOT be used directly:
-
- HELPFILE.WR_ - The help documentation in Windows Write format
- REGISTER.TX_ - Registration form in ASCII format called by
- registration procedure
- SHAREWAR.TX_ - Information on shareware in ASCII format
- called by registration procedure
- WINKIL11.EX_ - The executable program file
- WINKIL11.HL_ - The help file supporting WinKillr
-
- IMPORTANT: WinKillr is a Microsoft Visual Basic program and requires that
- the file VBRUN300.DLL be in the /WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory (or elsewhere
- on the path) of your computer. This file is widely available and hence,
- because of its very large size, is not distributed with WinKillr as part
- of the KILLR_11.ZIP or KILLR.ZIP archive. It is available on CompuServe
- in the WinUtil Forum, Library 1 as VBRUN3.ZIP. It is also available from
- virtually every other bulletin board and catalog operation in the world.
- Do not proceed with the installation of WinKillr until you have verified
- that this file is in your /WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory OR you are installing
- from a disk received directly from Open Windows!!
-
-
- To install WinKillr from a floppy disk received from Open Windows:
-
- 1. While in Windows, insert the floppy disk in the drive.
-
- 2. Open File Manager and select the floppy disk.
-
- 3. Double click on the file OWSETUP.EXE to run it.
-
- 4. Follow the on-screen directions.
-
-
- To install WinKillr starting with only a copy of KILLR_11.ZIP
- (KILLR.ZIP if obtained from CompuServe):
-
- 1. Create a temporary directory (C:\KILLTEMP will do) on your hard
- drive.
-
- 2. Copy KILLR_11.ZIP to this directory.
-
- 3. Unzip the file using WinZip or other "UNZIPper". This should
- produce the files listed in the packing list above.
-
- 4. Run SETUPWK.EXE from Windows. This will take you through the
- procedure of installing WinKillr on your hard disk.
-
- 5. You may delete all of the files in the temporary directory from your
- hard drive after completing the installation process, but remember to
- save a copy of KILLR_11.ZIP on a floppy for friends who may wish to try
- WinKillr.
-
-
- ===== Warranty =========================================
-
- A registered user of any Open Windows program is entitled to a full
- refund of their registration fee if they are not satisfied with the
- program they have registered. Send a letter to Open Windows requesting a
- refund (we'd like to hear why, but that's not a requirement) stating that
- you will discontinue all use of the program upon receipt of your refund.
- It's as simple as that - no questions asked.
-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- VENDINFO USE AUTHORIZATION
-
- The attached VENDINFO data record is hereby incorporated by reference.
- Any distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements expressed
- in that data record is hereby authorized
-
-
- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
- it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are
- expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
- request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
- trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
- to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
- stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
- commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
- cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in
- the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to
- copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written permission
- before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
- find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
- commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
- easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is
- low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee
- -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of WinKillr must accept this disclaimer of warranty: WinKillr is
- supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
- implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
- and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
- damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of
- WinKillr.
-
- WinKillr is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
- user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please
- give them the original KILLR_11.ZIP (or KILLR.ZIP if obtained originally
- from CompuServe) file so that they will have all of the necessary support
- files. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal
- computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to
- provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
- If you find this program useful and continue to use WinKillr after
- the 30-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of $14.95
- to Open Windows. The $14.95 registration fee will license one copy for
- use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software
- just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely installed on multiple computers, so
- long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while
- it's being used at another - just as a book cannot be read by two
- different persons at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of WinKillr must register and pay for their copies
- of WinKillr within 30 days of first use or their license is
- withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Open
- Windows.
-
- Anyone distributing WinKillr for a fee of any kind must read the
- conditions in the VENDOR.TXT file distributed with this application.
