This software is free and unlimited. If you use it at home,
at school or for your job, I only ask, as a reward of my work,
a simple postcard, typical of your geographical region. Would
you write down the field in which you are using Graph Paper
Printer, stick a pretty stamp for my son and mail the card
to the postal address :

Distributed package
-------------------
Name of the package file : gpaper.exe
Self-extraction of this file creates a sub-directory
(C:\GraphPap) in which the following 3 files are copied :
GRAPHPAP.EXE : Program
FAQ.HTM : Help file
README.TXT : This text file
The program is started after unpacking. On the first
opening, an option is put forward to create a shortcut
on the desktop and an entry in the start-menu. A
configuration file CONFIG.GPP is also created in the
working sub-directory.
Uninstallation
--------------
The only change made to your computer by the program is the
creation of the sub-directory where it is installed. No DLL
files are copied to the hard disc, and no entry is added to
the windows registry. To uninstall the software, simply
delete the installation sub-directory and any shortcuts
that have been placed on the desktop or in the start menu.
