- DPS
-
- Document Processing System
-
-
- DPS reads a document source file which includes style, spacing, and
- formatting commands, and generates a formatted ASCII output file
- suitable for printing on any type of computer printer. DPS is well
- suited for preparing documentation for programs or other technical
- projects. DPS provides table of contents and index generation and
- cross references by section and page numbers. DPS also provides
- automatic section numbering and a variety of list types. DPS is a
- shareware program.
-
- There are two versions of the DPS program: shareware and
- registered. You are welcome to make copies of the shareware
- version of DPS and pass them on to friends or post this program on
- bulletin boards or distribute it via disk catalog services provided
- the entire DPS distribution is included in its original, unmodified
- form.
-
- As a shareware product, you are granted a no-cost, trial period of
- 30 days during which you may evaluate DPS. If you find DPS to be
- useful, educational, and/or entertaining, and continue to use it
- beyond the 30 day trial period, you are required to compensate the
- authors by sending the registration form printed in the
- REGISTER.DOC file with the appropriate registration fee to help
- cover the development and support of DPS.
-
- In return for registering, you will be authorized to continue using
- DPS beyond the trial period and you will receive a registered
- version of the program, a laser-printed, bound manual, and three
- months of support via telephone, mail, or CompuServe. Your
- registration fee will be refunded if you encounter a serious bug
- that cannot be corrected.
-
- The registered version of DPS omits the shareware notification
- screen at the start of the run and does not require you to press a
- key to proceed.
-
- The DPS distribution includes the following files:
-
- DPS.EXE -- Executable program.
- DPS.DOC -- Documentation file.
- DPS.DPS -- Source file for DPS.DOC to use as an example.
- REGISTER.DOC -- Software registration form.
- VENDOR.DOC -- Information for shareware vendors.
- README.DOC -- Introduction file.
- FILE_ID.DIZ -- Information for bulletin boards.
-
- The installation of DPS is very simple. Create a directory for the
- DPS files and use PKUNZIP to unpack the compressed file or copy in
- all of the files from your distribution disk. You should add the
- DPS directory to your PATH command so that DOS can find the DPS.EXE
- file if some other directory is your current directory.
-
- Read or print the DPS.DOC file for further information.
