-
- There is no warranty
-
- Here is the not so plain English description of our warranty:
-
- You use this program at your own risk. We are not responsible if using this
- program causes you any loss. We include this message because there are too
- many sue-happy people out there (and we aren't talking about people who like
- people named Sue). So, if you have a problem with this program, feel free
- to write and let us know. If you would like to have something added or
- changed in this program then please write and let us know. If you have a
- great idea for an OS/2 program that you just can't keep to yourself then
- sure, write us and let us know. If you don't like this program, if it causes
- your computer to act strangely, or whatever, then don't use the program. We
- have tested this program on a number of OS/2 machines with no problems. This
- does not mean that you will not have any problems. Is that enough? Good.

- Ok, now on with the real stuff:
-
- The CPU & Drives program is used to show the amount of processor time and
- disk space being used. It does this graphically and is a great utility to
- just keep running in the background as a system monitor. To run the program,
- just execute the program cpudrive.exe. The cpudrive.hlp file should either
- be in the current directory or in the HELP path. The first time the program
- runs it will create a cpudrive.ini file that stores all of the initialization
- parameters for the program. This file will initially be created in the
- current directory when the program is run. You may then move the ini file to
- anywhere in the DPATH (data path). The CPU & Drives program will search the
- current directory first, then the data path second for the cpudrive.ini file.
- If found it will load the start-up settings from there, otherwise it will use
- the default values and create another cpudrive.ini file in the current
- directory. You may press F1 any time you are using the program to get context
- sensitive help. If you lose the title bar and cannot get it back try double
- clicking the first mouse button in the CPU & Drives window as that toggles
- the title bar display. Also, since many people will never bother to read
- the on-line help, try double clicking the second mouse button on one of the
- disk drive bar graphs for more information on the drive. See the on-line
- information for more fun things you can do.

- Version information:
-
- Version 1.0 - initial release
-
- Version 1.1 - added user defined loading CPU display mode
- modified the CPU average and user defined scale bars to

-
- Usage Fees:
-
- The CPU & Drives program is shareware. This means that you should pay for it
- if you are going to use it. There is only one exception to this rule and that
- is that the beta-testers get free copies (as many as they like). Here is the
- way the payments work:
-
- If you like the CPU & Drives program and plan to keep it then just take a dollar
- and put it in an envelope (make a check out for a dollar as you aren't allowed
- to send cash through the mail :-) ). Now, mail the envelope to:
-
- PureCode Computing
- 800 Vivian St.
- Longmont, CO 80501
-
- If you would us to notify you when we have new programs available please include
- your name, address, and e-mail address. If you would like to be a beta-tester
- for our next product (a robot-warrior game) then let us know that too. We are
- only planning to let registered users and former beta-testers be beta-testers
- for our future products. We don't guarantee that all registered users who request
- it will be allowed to become future beta-testers.
-
- When you register what do you get? Well, nothing actually. You do get to know
- that you actually paid for one of the programs you have on your computer though.
- And a dollar isn't that much. Also, once you have paid your dollar you are
- allowed to use as many copies of the program as you want. You may use the
- program on your computer at work and use it on your six computers at home,
- whatever you would like. The only thing you can't do is give your registration
- to someone else. If they want to use the program with full peace of mind then
- let them send in their own dollar!
