Taylor 1626 Main Street Bethlehem, PA 18018-1905 SUDSW is officially distributed and supported from the following sources: o Compuserve Wine/Beer forum (GO WINE) in library 14 - General Homebrewing. o The Power BBS in Distribution Headquarters library section (215)740-9196 o Internet via ftp from sierra.stanford.edu, directory /pub/homebrew/programs/SUDSW To get started, make sure that you have the following files from your distribution disk (Please note, the SUDSW.WRI file is formatted to be viewable with Windows Write - in the Accessories folder within program manager!). SUDSW.EXE - SUDSW program file BWCC.DLL - Needed to run SUDSW SUDSAHA.SDF - Import file for AHA style guidelines SUDSMALT.SDF - Import file for malt/sugar data SUDSW.HLP - On-line Help file for SUDSW SUDSHST.DAT - SUDS Configuration data file SUDSW.WRI - Documentation file for SUDSW README.TXT - Short introduction to SUDSW release REGISTER.TXT - SUDSW registration form RECIPES.SXF - "Starter" set of recipes to import into SUDSW. The first time you run SUDSW 3.0, it will convert your old recipe files into its new file structure. This can take several minutes! The files SUDSRCP.DBF, SUDSRCP.DBT and SUDSHOP.DBF will be renamed to SUDORCP.DBF, SUDORCP.DBT and SUDOHOP.DBF respectively prior to the conversion. If for some reason, you wish to go back to an earlier release of SUDSW, you will need to rename them back to their original files, then delete all indexes (DEL *.IND). You can then reinstall the older versions. Once SUDSW 3.0 has converted the files and you are comfortable that all is working properly, you can delete the renamed files. SUDSW is distributed under the shareware concept which allows you to sample SUDSW for a 30 day period after which the registration fee must be paid. Currently registered users of SUDSW (meaning you've paid the registration fee), may use the upgrade FREE of charge. No upgrade fee is required. Drop me a note if you can so I can update my user list to reflect the version you are using! The current registration fee for SUDSW 3.0 is $20. If you include a beer recipe of your own to be included in the next release(s) of SUDSW you may register your copy for only $15. This offer is valid until 12/31/94. Your name will, of course, be included on your recipe! As a bonus for registering, I will send you free of charge the following utilities: o SUDSCM - Add the ENTIRE Cat's Meow II file to your SUDS database This will add 415 recipes of all styles! o IBUCALC - Command line hop IBU calculator. Great for determining desired hopping! o CATMEO2 - The Internet Cat's Meow II file for use with SUDSCM Please read at least the Introduction and Installation portions of the documentation (SUDSW.WRI). This package is not crippled or disabled in any way. As long as honesty prevails, these measures will not be necessary. All I ask is that you register the program if you continue to use it beyond the 30 day trial period. You are free to share copies of the complete SUDSW package with anyone you choose. That's how shareware works! They, of course, must also abide by the terms above. Feel free to drop me any comments or suggestions on the program via Compu-Serve, or by mail. I also frequent the WINE/BEER forum on Compu-Serve and you may leave messages there as well. Happy Brewing!
