------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate MORFORM, the complete forms
management system. The system has been made available to you through the
"Shareware" method of software distribution. Shareware is not a type of
computer program, but rather a "Try Before You Buy" marketing method.
With this method you are provided with a fully functional copy of the
programs to run in the comfort of your own home or place of work so that
you may fully evaluate the system in regards to your needs.
However, as with all things of value, it is NOT free. If, after using the
system for a reasonable evaluation period (not to exceed 60 days), you must
either stop using it or purchase a registered copy form MORSOFT or one of
their authorized distributors for $39.95. (Note - any payment you have made
to a dealer for this shareware copy goes to cover their cost of reproduction
and distribution only. None of the monies are received by MORSOFT and it
does not authorize you to use the system beyond the evaluation period)
Why pay at all? As a registered user you will receive:
- The most current version of the programs.
- Over 50 business and miscellaneous forms already created
for you.
- The complete printed and bound user's guide.
- No cost telephone support from MORSOFT.
- One free upgrade to the system and discounts on subsequent
updates (typically 1/3 of the retail price).
- Notification of updates and new products as they become available.
- Periodic special price offers available to registered users only.
- Your ideas and comments will be used to help shape current and
future products.
- A sense of pride and ownership by honestly participating in the
Shareware revolution.
- The knowledge that you are helping to keep software prices down by
supporting a distribution method that does not depend on expensive
advertising.
Also please feel free to share this shareware version with your friends and
associates so they may evaluate the programs for their needs. See the
section below for further information.
How to install and run MORFORM.
To use the system you will need a harddisk with 1 meg of available space,
640k of memory of which 470k must be available to the programs, DOS 2.0 or
above, either a color or monochrome monitor, and a printer.
Installing The System.
______________________
MORFORM is distributed on two 5 1/4", two 3 1/2", or one
3 1/2" diskettes. Or, if the system has been downloaded
from another computer there should be two packed files.
1. If you have the system on diskettes, insert the one
marked number one into drive A:. Or if you have
only one 3 1/2", insert it in drive A:. Next, at the
DOS prompt type the following commands pressing
enter after each.
A:
CD \
MORINSTL
2. If the system was downloaded from another computer
unpack the two files under a single subdirectory.
Next, set the default drive and directory to that
of the files and at the DOS prompt enter "MORINSTL"
to start the install program. For example if the
files are on drive C:, under subdirectory "MYDIR",
enter the following commands.
C:
CD \MYDIR
MORINSTL
3. When the install program starts follow the
instructions shown on the screen. Below is additional
information on the questions that will be asked.
- For the disk drive to install the files on enter
a "C" for drive C:, "D" for drive D:, etc.
- For the printer selection enter the number next to
the type of printer you have and press enter. If
your type is not listed enter the corresponding
number for "None Of The Above".
- For the selection on how you are installing the
system enter a "1" if you have two 5 1/4" or
3 1/2" diskettes. A "2" if you have one 3 1/2",
or "3" if the system was downloaded from another
computer and the unpacked files are on your
harddisk.
- To get the most out of MORFORM you will need to
review the user guide. The installation program
will ask if you wish to print it as part of the
install. If you do, respond yes otherwise no.
The guide may be printed later by typing the
following command at the DOS prompt:
COPY C:\MORFORM\MORMANL.DOC PRN
Note if you have the MORFORM system on a
harddisk other than C:, enter the appropriate
drive letter. Eg. if on D: enter
COPY D:\MORFORM\MORMANL.DOC PRN
It is advised that you do print the guide as part of
the install so that it will be immediately available
when you start using the system.
4. When the installation is complete the system
will start up for you automatically.
Running The System.
___________________
To run MORFORM after it has been installed type the following
commands at the DOS prompt pressing enter after each.
C:
CD \MORFORM
MF
Note if the MORFORM files are on a drive other than C:
enter the appropriate drive letter as the first command.
Eg. if on drive D: enter:
D:
CD \MORFORM
MF
Note that the system must be started in this manner. The
programs may not be run individually.
Also: MORFORM uses the "LPT1" printer port. If your machine
is not normally set up for it you will need to execute
the DOS "MODE" command to set the printer. For example
if your printer is connected to "COM1", enter the
following at the DOS prompt BEFORE starting MORFORM.
MODE LPT1:=COM1: <press enter>
To reset the printer back to its normal state, type
the following at the DOS prompt when you have
completed working with MORFORM.
MODE LPT1: <press enter>

As stated above you are encouraged to share your shareware version with
others and to upload it on computer Bulletin Board Systems as desired.

it, insure ALL of the files are present and intact. Also the MORSOFT
copyright must accompany all copies distributed.
If you have the system on two diskettes.
- To give to others on two diskettes simply make copies of yours and
be sure to mark which is number one and which is two.
- To give to others on one diskette (a 3 1/2" or a high density
5 1/4") simply copy all of the files from the two diskettes to
the one.
- To upload to a BBS.
o Copy all of the files from diskette number one to an empty
sub-directory on your harddisk then delete file "MFMNL.EXT"
from the sub-directory.
o Copy from the MORFORM directory on your harddisk files
"MORMANL.DOC" and "MORDRAW.EXE".
o Compress these files into one and name it "MORFORM1" with
a file extension appropriate to the compression program
used (eg. MORFORM1.ZIP).
o From the MORFORM directory on your harddisk copy to an
empty sub-directory on the harddisk the files "MORFORM.EXE",
"MORDEFN.EXE", and "MORFILL.EXE".
o Compress these files into one and name it "MORFORM2" with
a file extension appropriate to the compression program
used (eg. MORFORM2.ZIP).
o Upload the two compressed files to the BBS and be sure
to note that both files are required.
If you have the system on one diskette.
- To give to others on one diskette (a 3 1/2" or a high density
5 1/4") simply copy all of the files on your diskette to the
one you will be sharing.
- To give to others on two diskettes copy all of the files on your
diskette, except "MORFORM.EXT", to diskette number one. Copy file

a file extension appropriate to the compression program
used (eg. MORFORM2.ZIP).
o Upload the two compressed files to the BBS and be sure
to note that both files are required.
If you have downloaded the system from another computer.
- To give to others on two diskettes copy each downloaded compressed
file to a seperate disk along with the necessary unpacking program
if they don't already have it. Have the person you are sharing
with copy both diskettes to their harddisk and unpack the files.
To install the system follow the same procedure as if the files
had been downloaded from another computer.
