ULTRADOC readme.txt ULTRADOC Copyright (c) 1994 by Shepherd Software All Rights Reserved Chris Wareham 1215 West Jackson Spearfish, SD 57783 ------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Notice ---------------- UltraDoc is Copyright 1994 by Shepherd Software. All rights are reserved. This document is Copyright 1994 by Shepherd Software. All rights are reserved. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Shareware Concept --------------------- Shareware is not a type of software but a way of distributing software. It is quite different from "retail" distribution. Retail software is copyrighted and has a user license that prohibits copying and sharing of the software. With retail software you are required to pay for the software before you try it out. If it does not meet your needs or work as expected, it may sit on your shelf and collect dust. The money you paid for it is lost (unless it had a money back guarantee). Shareware is also copyrighted software, but you are encouraged to freely share it among other users. Shareware is really a good deal! For almost no investment in money, you can try the software out before you pay for it. If it does not meet your needs or work on your system, throw it away. If you find it useful and continue to use it, only then are you obligated to pay for it. ------------------------------------------------------------- Warranty Disclaimer ------------------- SHEPHERD SOFTWARE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATING TO THIS SOFTWARE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ALL SUCH WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED.

The maximum dimensions of the printed page are limited only by your printer and computer's memory. You can specify the page width and height from within the program. There is almost no limitation on printers supported since you can enter the printer codes needed to support the page size for your printer directly into the program. UltraDoc can save reams of paper when printing shareware documentation, README files, program source code, or any true ASCII text file. It gives you a great deal of control over the printed output and allows you to save almost all the program settings to disk. You can then load these settings automatically when you run the program or manually at a later time. All this is done with a friendly, easy to use interface that supports both mouse and keyboard and has extensive online help. ------------------------------------------------------------- Installing ULTRADOC manually ---------------------------- 1.)
