ARJ Doc version 1.2 ------------------- (FREEWARE!) Welcome to my help file reference for ARJ 2.50a. It is intended to assist users of the ARJ archiver by providing easy reference to ARJ commands and switches. LEGAL STUFF ----------- CAUTION! This Windows help file was compiled from edited and abridged versions of some of the documentation files distributed with ARJ 2.50a. Although due care was taken while preparing it, there may be errors of various kinds, including spelling mistakes, and the contents may be inaccurate. ARJ Software has not been involved in this project and has not authorised or given permission for this help file. Consequently, ARJ Software is not in any way liable or responsible for the contents or use of this file. This help file is supplied as is and without any warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. The author, Grant Botes, assumes no liability or responsibility whatsoever for its use, its contents, or any damage which may be caused by its use. INSTALLATION ------------ Easy! 1. Extract all the files in the archive to a directory. 2. Run the SETUP program from Windows 3.1 Program Manager (select File | Run on the menu) or double click it using the File Manager . No files will be installed to your \Windows or \Windows\System directories - so the files can be removed by simply deleting the directory. Default installation is to C:\ARJDOC12. A Program Manager group and icon will be created. REQUIREMENTS ------------ - MS WIndows 3.1 (or higher, I suppose - I dunno; I've only tried it in 3.1) - Mouse (who would try to use Windows without a mouse, anyway?) - 16 colour or higher vga card + colour monitor - 600 Kb (approximately) hard drive space USING ARJ DOC 1.2 ----------------- ARJ Doc is a Windows 3.1 help file. You should be able to run it by double clicking its group icon, or by double clicking it in the File Manager. Full-text search is implemented for easy reference. POSSIBLE BUGS & PROBLEMS ------------------------ You may find that when using the full-text search feature, searched-for information from the secondary Table of Contents window is displayed in the main window. (Although I hope I cleared up all of these design bugs!) My display at home is set up for 800 by 600 SVGA 16 million colour display, so I have no idea how this file is going to display on your system. Drop me a note, and let me know. AUTHOR'S COMMENTS ----------------- ARJ Doc 1.2 is FREEWARE! Anybody in the whole world may use it for anything they like (it is NOT guaranteed to be fit for any purpose whatsoever!). The help file says that I retain the copyright to it, but since the information is taken almost entirely from the docs distributed with ARJ 2.50a, I'm not sure how well this would stand up to legal scrutiny. I authored the help file because I wanted an easy, on-line reference. I have taken the following files and produced a single Windows help file out of them: - INTRO.DOC - ARJ.DOC - ERRORS.DOC - LICENSE.DOC Be warned, though. The files are NOT 100% intact. First, I had to run them through a text reformatting program to make them useable. Then I edited some portions slightly. There may therefore be various kinds of errors and inaccuracies, including spelling mistakes. As I've (already!) said, I assume no responsibility or liability for any damage whatsoever caused by the use of, or the contents of, this help file. There are no guarantees that it is fit for any use of any kind. It's free, and so it's provided as is. ARJ Software has not approved the contents of this file, nor has ARJ Software been consulted or involved in its creation; accordingly ARJ Software can have no liability or responsibility for its use or contents, nor for any damage caused by its use or contents. SEE THE DISCLAIMER IN THE HELP FILE. Special thanks go to Bernd Herd for developing the Asetup installation program and making it available as freeware. (I've found that most people prefer to have a setup program when installing software, rather than doing a manual installation themselves - go figure!). Have fun! Grant Botes March / April 1996
