- │ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
- │ │
- │ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
- │ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
- │ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
- │ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
- │ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
- │ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
- │ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
- │ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
- │ │
- │ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
- │ │
- │ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
- │ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
- │ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
- │ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │

- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- BailOut does only one thing - get you out of Windows without a hassle.
- It uses the proper shutdown call, though, so it produces the same effect
- as using the Windows closing sequence - i.e. it will look for open DOS
- programs or open Windows apps with unsaved files and notify you of this
- situation. If everything is clear, Windows will shut down without the
- annoying "Do You Want To End Your Windows Session" dialog box.
-

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- If your package included OWSETUP.EXE on the disk, simply run this
- program from within Windows and follow the instructions. If you want to
- use BailOut from within a Program Manager group, simply drag (carefully)
- the BailOut2 icon to that group. If you wish to have BailOut on your
- "icon line" at the bottom of your desktop, you must add
- C:\BAILOUT\BAILOUT2.EXE to your load= line in your WIN.INI file
- (assuming you installed BailOut in the C:\BAILOUT directory).
-
- If you have downloaded BAIL.ZIP (from CompuServe) or BAILOUT.ZIP from
- another BBS, or have otherwise acquired BailOut without the accompanying
- OWSETUP.EXE installation program, simply unzip (using PKUNZIP.EXE or
- similar de-archiving utility) the .ZIP file into its own directory.
- Then, from Windows' FileManager, drag the file BAILOUT2.EXE onto the
- open Program Manager group in which you wish the utility to reside.
- Windows will automatically install BailOut in this group and the BailOut
- icon will appear in this group. If you wish BailOut to reside on your
- "icon line", follow the instructions given above.
-
- To use BailOut, simply double-click its icon. You'll be looking at
- the DOS prompt in a jiffy!
-
-
- ===== Warranty =========================================
-
- Yep. Your money back if not delighted <G>...
-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- BailOut 2.0 is a "freeware program" and is provided at no charge to
- the user for his non-commercial use. Feel free to share it with your
- friends, but please give them the original BAILOUT.ZIP (or BAIL.ZIP if
- obtained originally from CompuServe) file so that they will have all of
- the necessary support files.
-
- While no registration fee is required for the use of BailOut, it is NOT
- Public Domain software. I.e., the author reserves all rights to the
- program and it is fully protected by copyright. Other than the fact
- that the registration fee is $0 it should be treated as any other
- shareware program.
