- SHAREWARE INFORMATION
-
- This software, while copyrighted, is shareware. This has two
- advantages for the user. First, price is minimized by drastically
- reducing advertising and distribution costs, and second,
- shareware is offered on a try-before-buy basis.
-
- This means that the software may be tried without paying for a
- license. Trying means installing and using the program for a
- week. If the program is used more than this, the user must
- register the software with the developer and pay an affordable
- amount for a license to use the program.
-
- This program is produced by a member of the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP). 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.
-
-
- The definition of shareware promulgated by the ASP that is
- applicable to this shareware follows:
-
- "Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- "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.
-
- "Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
-

-
-
-
-
-
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
-
- "DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- "Users of this program, ACFM, must accept this disclaimer of
- warranty:
-
- "ACFM is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
- expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
- warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
- consequential, which may result from the use of ACFM.
-
- "ACFM is `shareware' and is provided at no charge to the user for
- evaluation. Feel free to share with your friends, but please do
- not give it away altered or as part of another system. The
- essence of `user-supported' software is to provide personal
- computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet
- to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new
- products. If you find this program useful and find that you are
- using ACFM and continue to use it after a reasonable trial
- period, you must register it as described below.
-
- "The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
- computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
- a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
- number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
- location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
- being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just
- as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same
- time.
-
- "Anyone distributing ACFM for any kind of remuneration must first
- contact the author at the address below for authorization.
- Authorization is hereby automatically granted to distributors
- recognized by the ASP as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
- distributors, and such distributors may begin offering ACFM
- immediately (However the author must still be advised so that the
- distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of
- ACFM.)
-
- "You are encouraged to pass a copy of ACFM along to your friends
- for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if
- they find that they can use it. All registered users will
- receive a copy of the latest version of the ACFM system."

- DESCRIPTION
-
- ACFM, an acronym for Autoexec.bat - Config.sys File Manger,
- allows the user to save and edit up to 25 files of each of type
- of file. A selected file can be copied to the root directory so
- that it may be used the next time the system is rebooted. The
- program is only executed when needed. It is not ram resident.
-
- ACFM makes it easy to store several different versions of
- AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files and copy them when needed to
- the root directory of the C Drive (A Drive if no hard disk
- available). The next time you reboot they become effective.
- Since ACFM does not execute every time you boot, you are not
- bothered by being forced to make a choice every time, but only
- when you want to change configuration.
-
- ACFM also includes the ability to add, delete, edit and view
- stored files as well as to copy selected files to the root
