REGISTRATION REMINDERS Unlicensed copies of Simply Shareware products are 100% fully functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our products do have a registration reminder screen that appears whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect your evaluation of our software. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone, call the nice people at our 800 number and register the software. When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more of what you like will almost magically become available. LEGAL MATTERS Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near the bottom of this file. HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE Use our snazzy setup program... 1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications. (You do have to be in Windows to run WSETUP.EXE) 2) Double-Click on the WSETUP.EXE program or from Program Manager, using File/Run, type the drive letter of your floppy drive and wsetup. ie. a:\wsetup 3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify an initial directory, or accept the given default. 4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want to install, do your selections, or just hit the INSTALL ALL button. Hit the OK button to continue. ******************* MANUAL INSTALL *********************** If you cannot use the snazzy setup program, and must do a manual install.....good luck. Basically installing our products without going through the setup program is "unsupported", as installation of Windows products does get tricky. However as to not leave you completely in the lurch.... 1) Most files to be installed by the installation program end in an underscore "_". The files might be compressed. If you received the files on a DISK, the probability is HIGH that you must expand the files with our WEXPAND (see below) program before use. If you received the files packaged in a ZIP file, the probability is LOW and you may simply rename the files to the correct name. If you try to expand a file that was not compressed, the expand program will NOT give an error message, and will NOT correctly process the file. In general, if the output from the expand program is smaller than the file that went in, the expand program should not be used. 2) The files (generally) must either be expanded into files with the correct names, or must be renamed, prior to use. 3) In general, the DLL files should go into your WINDOWS directory, or else some directory mentioned in your DOS path statement. *** USING THE WEXPAND PROGRAM *** 1) Copy the files WEXPAND.EXX and WEXPAN1.EXX from the installation disk to a temp directory on your computer. 2) Rename the files so that they have a EXE extension. The files were named with the EXX extension to keep most people out of trouble. 3) Copy the files you wish to expand into the temp directory. Lets say its WINFO16I.EX_ In which case type at the DOS Prompt... WEXPAND WINFO16I.EX_ WINFO16I.EXE 4) Make sure the output file (WINFO16I.EXE in this case) is LARGER than the input file (WINFO16I.EX_), otherwise the file was not compressed. In that case delete the incorrectly expanded file and rename the original file as follows: ERASE WINFO16I.EXE REN WININFO.EX_ WININFO.EXE 5) Repeat for each of the six million files on the floppy. UN-INSTALL INFORMATION The snazzy setup program will create a DOS batch file - UNINSTAL.BAT in the target directory that will un-install the product just installed. You may either review the batch file and perform a manual uninstall, or, if you have not installed any products *after* installing this product, go ahead and run the batch file. If you have installed several products before deciding to uninstall this, the uninstall will *generally* work successfully. The only problem that occurs is when this product uninstalls a file that the other products use. In general, this will only be a problem when you install several of our products, and will be much less of a problem if you install products from other vendors. If problems occur, usually all that is required is to re-install the product that is complaining about the lack of a file. A quick review of the uninstall batch file, and deleting a line or two for files you know are used by other products may be all that is required to successfully run the uninstall.
