- If you're reading this *before* you installed the software, give
- yourself a gold star on your brownie chart. You're one of the
- relatively few people who read the documentation before installing
- the software. You are of clearly superior character.
- Congratulations!
-
- On the other hand, if you're reading this *after* you've installed
- the software, don't worry. You're doing what almost everyone does
- when they install software, including me. And knowing this, I set
- it up so you won't have any problems anyway.
-
- The installation program creates a directory (C:\WIN500) as the
- default, but you're welcome to change the directory and drive if
- you wish. The installation program copies the files to
- subdirectories within the directory and creates a Program Manager
- Group. You'll need about 6Mb of space on the disk you install the
- software on. (The installation procedure will check to make sure
- there's enough room before it starts installing.)
-
- NOTE: The installation program makes *no* changes to the WIN.INI
- or SYSTEM.INI files.
-
- To install the software:
- 1. Go to the File menu on the Program Manager and select Run.
- 2. In the dialog box, select INSTALL.EXE on this disk.
- 3. Click OK in the dialog box to run INSTALL.EXE.
-
- That's all there is to it! The installation procedure will take
- care of most of the details. You'll need to provide some
- information occasionally, but it's mostly automatic. The README.TXT
- file (displayed at the end of the installation procedure) will give
- you important additional information about the programs you've just
- installed.
-
- NOTE: These disks are companions to The Windows Shareware 500,
- published by Ventana Press. Not all of the software contained on
- these disks is free; much of it is shareware and requires payment
- if you intend to use it regularly. Please refer to the individual
- documentation and Help files for each program on the disks for
- information about payment.
-
- All shareware on these disks as well as all programs reviewed in
- the book are available on America Online. You can find this
- software in the Ventana Press Windows Shareware 500 Library
- (keyword: WIN500). For more information about how to install the
- America Online software, please refer to the enclosed America
- Online starter disk. For more information about any of the disks
- included with The Windows Shareware 500, please see Appendix B.

-
- Yes! I want to keep the shareware concept alive! That's why I agree
- that it's important to send in my shareware payments for any
- shareware I use on a regular basis. I also know that registering
- shareware is the best way to make sure I'll receive future versions
- of the best new software.
