NPReadme.txt Created 3/12/96. Updated 3/21/96. Updated 6/28/96 This is the readme file for NParse32. It contains information that is not in the manual, and includes hints and tips, workarounds, etc. Entire contents Copyright (c) 1996 by Nanoware, Inc. All rights reserved. All trade names referenced herein are property of their respective companies. The download version has a license file that allows a developer to use NParse32 for development purposes (in the development environment). When the application is finally made into an EXE and run, a dialog box will appear that states that the control is not registered. Then, whenever a parsed field is returned, the returned value will always be an error string that states that the control is unregistered (this doesn't happen in the development environment). The intent is to allow developers to use this control free of charge during development (to ensure that it meets their requirements) and then, before releasing a product to ensure that we get paid. Nanoware, Inc. believes that this method of distribution provides the fairest method of letting developers use its products, yet still get paid when a developer sees value in the product. Upon registering the control, Nanoware, Inc. will ship you diskettes with the most current version, a License file that will allow distribution (that doesn't display the unregistered dialog box) as well as a printed manual. Once installed, all you will need to do is open your project and make a new EXE. This will remove the dialog box and the error string from the EXE. Registration is only $29.95 + $5.95 s&h and applicable tax. Please use the order form included in the zip file. Payment may be made by check, credit card and Compuserve members may order online through SWREG. See the order form (order.txt) for more information. Currently, we are only accepting orders from within the United States of America. ------------------------------------------------------------ Misc Information ---------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Q.

You may however distribute the downloaded version of the control to developers for them to evaluate it for use in their products. The software license is modified as follows: Section 2 is not applicable since you are not to ship the downloaded version of the control with any application. ------------------------------------------------------------------
