PMmenu Program This disk provides the basic information needed to utilize version 1.0 of the PMMENU program to build Program Manager menu items within the Microsoft Windows environment. PMMENU is a copyrighted product of MRL and all rights are reserved. Use of this version is allowed for evaluation only and continued usage requires that the user pay the registration fees as defined in the companion user manual file. MRL obligations and warranties are defined in the users manual. Registration can be accomplished by payment to MRL at 1200 Stonehurst Drive, Huntsville, Alabama, 35801. The register.frm file provides registration information. Feedback is desireable and can be made via mail at the above address or via Compuserve electronic mail to MRL at user id [73637,737]. The PMMENU program allows users to tailor their Windows desktop by addition of commands to the Windows Program Manager system menu to execute programs. This release is designed for usage with Windows 3.1. Quick start for experienced users: 1) Unarchive files into program directory (e. g., C:\pmmenu) 2) Run install.exe. A PMmenu group will be created. The icons displayed in this group execute a "sample.mnu" definition (PMmenu), display this file (readme), display the users manual (users manual), display a registeration form (register) and remove PMmenu (delete). Selecting the PMmenu icon adds the menu items in the "sample.mnu" file to the program manager system menu. No window is displayed when executed other than registration messages. To have the menu initiated at startup, move the PMmenu item to the startup group. To register and avoid startup messages, fill out the register form and send to MRL. 3) See Users Guide for Instructions on creating/editing your own menu sets.

ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536." Definition of Shareware Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, we expect you to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get the simple right to continue using the software and an updated program. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!). The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
