The help files and a brief user guide, USEGUIDE.PF, which is a PageFocus File, provide all the information you need to run the programs. We suggest that you open USEGUIDE.PF with EX.EXE and read it.

Use Rules ========================================================================== A. Copyright PageFocus is a copyrighted software. This version is a shareware, not a freeware. B. Evaluation period The evaluation period is 30 days following your installation. If you do not register after the evaluation period, you must remove all the files related to PageFocus from your computer. Any use of the package after the 30-day period without registering with the Creative Stars is a violation of this use agreement. PageFocus will eventually quit working if a violation of the use agreement occurs. If you had used a previous version of PageFocus shareware and it expired without registration, please remove it entirely (including all the files created with it) before trying out the new version. If you want to be able to use the old files created by an old shareware version, you will need a registered version. If you have a registered version, then you can safely try out this new shareware version. However, we suggest that you install this version in a new directory. This new version will read all the files of the previous versions. But the previous versions will not be able to read some of the files created with this new version. C. Important!!! PageFocus uses your system time to check the integrity and cross-referencing of forms and databases. We suggest that you maintain a consistent date and time for your system. Time accuracy is not critical, but a correct system date is essential. ============================================================================== = How to register ============================================================================== = Just pay the price of the software to Creative Stars, Inc. = You can use the order forms provided with this package: = = 1.
