- POST INSTALLATION INFORMATION
- -----------------------------
-
- Once the basic program installation is complete, the PRL program will
- automatically load and configure itself. This can be a lengthy process but
- only the very first time the program is loaded. Following that, the program
- will load much faster.
-
- To start the program in the future, you should switch to the subdirectory
- where you installed the program (i.e. \PRL), type ROUTE, and then press
- [ENTER]. If the program has not been registered, a shareware and
- registration reminder screen will appear. After reading this screen
- carefully, press any key to proceed. A title and copyright screen will be
- displayed, along with the program Main Menu.
-
-
- QUICK START
- -----------
- In order to make FULL use of this program, you will need to read the
- manual, which is supplied as the file MANUAL.TXT. However, to get started
- quickly just to see what the program looks like, simply switch to the
- subdirectory where you have installed the program files (i.e. CD PRL), type
- ROUTE and press [ENTER]. The program contains context-sensitive Help which
- you can call by pressing the [F1] key.
-
-
- COLOR/MONOCHROME MONITORS
- -------------------------
- This program will check to see if you have a color video card installed in
- your computer. If it finds one, it will automatically set the screen
- display to the color settings. If it finds a monochrome video card, it will
- automatically set the screen display to the monochrome settings. If you are
- using a color card with a monochrome monitor, the program may not display
- properly. However, you can go back to the DOS prompt and restart the
- program using the command ROUTE M to restart the program in forced
- monochrome mode.
-
-
- USER'S MANUAL & REGISTRATION FORM
- ---------------------------------
- To View or Print the registration form, move to the far right, select the
- UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key, select the
- "Registration Form" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to view the
- registration form before you print it.
-
- The User's Manual is included in a file called MANUAL.TXT. It can also be
- printed either from the menu option, or from the DOS command line. To print
- it from the DOS command line, change to the directory in which MANUAL.TXT
- resides. Then enter the following command to print the manual:
-
- COPY MANUAL.TXT PRN
-
- To View or Print the manual from within the program, move to the far right,
- select the UTILITIES menu and press [ENTER]. Then using the Down Arrow key,
- select the "User's Manual" option and press [ENTER]. You will be able to
- view the manual on screen before you print it.

-
- SO WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
- ---------------------
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
- publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by
- copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed to
- try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back
- guarantees.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good
- and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
- primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
- shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
- meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are
- able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it takes to
- launch a traditional retail software product.
-
- The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
- products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
- you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow shareware authors
- to support and continue to develop their products.
-
- Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
- actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by
- your support!
