README.TXT README.TXT WinCharging Shareware Edition ______________________________________________________ Tip: Use NotePad to view or print this file. ______________________________________________________ Thank you trying WinCharging. It's the newest and best way credit card users can manage their charge accounts. This is the shareware edition of WinCharging. It is a full-featured, fully functional program, and it is identical to the standard edition except for the inclusion of the shareware reminder screen you see when you exit the program. The license you agree to by evaluating WinCharging allows you to test it without charge for 30 days. If after that period you decide to keep using WinCharging, you must purchase it. For more information about WinCharging's shareware license, read LICENSE.TXT. INSTALLATION To ensure a perfect installation, make sure all of the files listed in CONTENTS.TXT appear on your shareware distribution floppy disk. If any are missing, contact your shareware distributor immediately. If you downloaded WINCRG10.ZIP and expanded it on your hard disk, make sure all of the files are present. You can then copy them to a floppy disk to create an installation disk or simply install WinCharging from that directory, which is considerably faster. To install, start Windows. Open the File Menu and click Run. Put the installation disk in your a: drive and enter A:SETUP on Run's command line. If you put the disk in your b: drive, enter B:SETUP. If you're installing from a directory on your hard drive, enter the full path plus SETUP (for example: C:\TEMPDIR\SETUP). The installation procedure checks to ensure you have Windows 3.1 or later and that your system meets certain other requirements. If all is in order, it displays the default directory for the WinCharging files. You can put WinCharging's files in any directory you wish, but as with any other major program, the files should be placed in their own directory, and that directory should be right off the root directory for optimum efficiency (e.g., C:\WINCHARG). GETTING STARTED WinCharging comes with a special online Help file called MeFirst!. It's easy to read and comes with loads of graphics to simplify the setup process. When you start WinCharging the first time, it asks you if you would like to see MeFirst!. Reply yes. With both WinCharging and MeFirst! open, you can simply + back and forth, first reading MeFirst! about how to do something, then switching back to WinCharging to actually do it. When you no longer need MeFirst! you can delete it by simply selecting a command found on the File Menu. ORDERING WINCHARGING WinCharging comes in two editions: standard and deluxe. The deluxe edition allows you to have any number of userfiles, each capable of handling up to twelve credit card accounts; permits password protection and file encryption; and comes with the AutoLoad Override. The standard edition is the same as the shareware edition, but without the reminder screens. It manages a single userfile and a maximum of four credit card accounts. It comes with no password protection or file encryption and does not come with the AutoLoad Override capability. For more information on the deluxe edition, open the Help file for WinCharging and search on "deluxe edition".
