General

You use the menusystem to get information on the programs and files on

the CD. You can also start and install programs directly from the menu.

Some of the items on the CD are not programs - in these cases you can

copy the files to your harddisk from the menu.


Info about programs / Files

In the left side of the menu-windows you will see 8 buttons labeled with

the name of the item. When you move the mouse-pointer over a button,

you will see a description in the right side of the menu-window. Below

the description, you will see a text telling whether you can run or install

the program, or if you can copy files to harddisk. You can use the arrow-

buttons to go to next or previous page.


How to start programs

If a program can be run directly from the CD, you can simply start the

program by clicking the button. Note that some programs takes several

seconds to load from CD, and therefore it seems like nothing happens.

In these cases - be patient...


How to install programs

If a program is designed to be installed on your harddisk, you do this

by clicking the button. The programs Setup-program will then be

executed. Follow the instructions in the setup-program to install.


How to copy files to harddisk

If an item just consists of files to use in different matters, you can copy

these files to your harddisk, by clicking the button. A new window will

appear, and you must select a destination-directory and click the button

labeled Copy to copy the files into this directory. Click the button

labeled Cancel if you not want the files to be copied.

When the files are being copied, you can follow the progress - when all

files are copied you will get a message telling this.


About shareware

Shareware (also known as user supported software and other names) is a

concept not understood by everyone. The authors of Shareware retain all

rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing free

distribution. This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and try out

software to see if it fits his needs. Shareware should not be confused with

Public Domain software even though they are often obtained from the

same sources.

If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected to register

your use with the author and pay a registration fee. What you get in return

depends on the author, but may include a printed manual, free updates,

telephone support, etc. Only by paying for the Shareware you use do you enable

the Shareware author to continue to support his software and create new programs.

Considering that the Shareware registration fees are almost always far less than

the purchase price of comparable commercial software it's obvious that Shareware is

a good deal for everyone.

There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system. You get to try out

software to make sure it is compatible with your hardware and that it fits your

needs before you "buy" it with your registration.

The author saves the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution and

passes the savings on to you. Plus, most Shareware authors are much more

accessible than commercial software sources so that your questions and suggestions

are much more likely to be responded to.

Thank you for your support.


Problems ?

If you have problems with the menu, you can find the original ZIP-files in

the directory ZIPPED. Copy the files to your harddisk, unzip and try

the hard way. Most ZIP-files include textfiles with instructions.
