- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Thank you for your interest in WinUpD8r. You will find this utility to
- be extremely helpful in keeping multiple computers synchronized to the
- latest versions of their common files. Using floppy disks as the
- intermediary between the machines, you can automatically transfer the
- latest file versions without having to remember which files have been
- changed.
-
- WinUpD8R has several operating modes, allowing you to set up a procedure
- closely suited to your needs and to the current organization of your
- computers. No need to restructure your drives to take advantage of
- WinUpD8R's abilities.
-
- The on-line help gives detailed examples which guide you in selecting
- the most appropriate UpD8 method and then walk you through the steps
- necessary to set up your floppy(s).
-
-
- ===== Packing List =====================================

- As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the
- following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ:
-

-
- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- If your package included OWSETUP.EXE on the disk, simply run this
- program from within Windows and follow the instructions.
-
- If you have downloaded UPD8R.ZIP (from CompuServe) or UPD8R_30.ZIP from
- another BBS, or have otherwise acquired WinUpD8R 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 WINUPD30.EXE
- onto the open Program Manager group in which you wish the utility to
- reside. Windows will automatically install WinUpD8R in this group and
- the WinUpD8R icon will appear in this group.
-
- To start WinUpD8R, simply double-click its icon. On-line help is
- available should you have any difficulties in using WinUpD8R. A short
- period of familiarization with WinUpD8R's documentation (either on-line
- or in the README.WRI document) will pay dividends in a smooth startup of
- your new automatic UpD8ing procedure.
-
-
- ===== Warranty =========================================
-
- A registered user of any Open Windows program is entitled to a full
- refund of their registration fee if they are not satisfied with the
- program they have registered. Send a letter to Open Windows requesting a
- refund (we'd like to hear why, but that's not a requirement) and stating
- that you will discontinue all use of the program upon receipt of your
- refund. It's as simple as that - no questions asked.
-
-
- ===== License for Use and Distribution =================
-
- WinUpD8R 3.0 is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
- the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
- please give them the original UPD8R_30.ZIP (or UPD8R.ZIP if obtained
- originally from CompuServe) file so that they will have all of the
- necessary support files. 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 continue to
- use WinUpD8R 3.0 after the 30-day trial period, you must make a
- registration payment of $15.00 plus $3.00 S&H to Open Windows. 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 installed on multiple computers, 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.
-
- Commercial users of WinUpD8R 3.0 must register and pay for their copies
- of WinUpD8R 3.0 within 30 days of first use or their license is
- withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Open
- Windows.
