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 required to register it, or purchase the licensed version as is the case of BJ-Sim. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail 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 retail or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

Installing BJ-Sim : ------------------- Before you can use BJ-Sim you have to run the BJ-Sim setup program from Windows so it will work properly on your computer. You cannot just copy the files from the BJ-Sim disk to your hard disk. The files on the distribution disk are packed in a special way to save space. The setup program unpacks those files and builds them on your working disk. 1. Make Windows' "Program Manager" the active window. 2. From Windows' "Program Manager", select "File", then select "Run". This will open the "Run" dialog box. Place the BJ-Sim disk in your floppy drive. Type in the dialog box the command that will run the BJ-Sim setup program. If your floppy disk goes in your Drive "A", type: A:SETUP If your floppy disk goes in your Drive "B", type: B:SETUP Leave the "Run Minimized" box un-selected, and click the "OK" command button (or press "Enter"). 3. After a brief moment you will be prompted by a dialog box to enter the desired location for BJ-Sim. This is the location that you want your BJ-Sim files to be placed. It will suggest a drive and directory of "C:\BJ202". If you want the BJ-Sim program files installed on a different drive or directory, then type in the new destination. 4. BJ-Sim Setup will unpack the necessary files and place them into your directory. The status of the operation will be displayed as the setup program does this work. 5. The setup program will notify you when the installation is complete.
