-
- Shareware-version
-
- You have the right to test this program for a period of one month. You are
- allowed to copy this Shareware-version (and ONLY the Shareware version) and give

- distribute the program with a different installation program, changed files etc.
-
- Use of this software after the trial period of one month is in violation of
- international Copyright law! It is also unfair to the author, who has spent
- hundreds of hours developing this program.
-
- Registration
-
- This program is neither freeware nor public domain. Use after the 30 day trial
- period requires registration. The registration fee is only SFr. 35.-+5.-S&H ($
- 36.- US personal cheque or cash including handling fees) for a personal licence.
- See howtoreg.txt for details on registration and support.
-
- Registered version (personal licence)
-
- The registered version may be installed on as many computers as desired, as
- long as it is ONLY running on one at any one time (I.e. one installation at
- home and one at the office used by the same person). The usage by multiple
- people at the same time (on multiple computers) requires additional licences.
-
-
- Multiple licences (additional licences)
-
- Multiple licences allow an institution, company or school to install the
- program on multiple computers or on a server. It must be guaranteed that
- the program does not run on more machines at the same time than there are

- Additional licences cost SFr. 20.- for the 2nd to 10th licence, etc. (see
- register.wri for an international order form). For larger amounts than 1000
- please contact the author. Each additional licence also allows a single user to
- use the program at home.
-
- Liability
-
- We try to keep our software as bug-free as possible. But it's a general rule
- (Murphy's), that no software ever is error free, and the number of errors
- increases with the complexity of the program. That's why we cannot guarantee
- that this software will run in every environment, on any Windows compatible
- machine, together with any other application, without producing errors. Any
- liability for damage of any sort is hereby denied. In any case, the liability
- is limited to the registration fee.
-
- Please test this program with non-critical data. We cannot guarantee the safety
- of your data. Especially new operating systems like Windows NT or OS/2 can
- cause trouble. Should you detect errors before registration, you accept them if
- you register. Any description of bugs will be accepted, but we cannot guarantee
- that we will be able to correct them.

- Development of Windows Commander
-
- Windows Commander was written utilizing Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 (⌐ 1991 by
- Borland International). The Drag&Drop-algorithms, especially the undocumented
- parts, were found in the very good book "Undocumented Windows", Andrew
- Schulman, Addison Wesley 1991. The DPMI-handling for setting the volume label
- was taken from the book "Turbo Pascal fⁿr Windows - Object Windows", A. Ertl/R.
- Machholz, Sybex 1992. Only the algorithms were taken and rewritten in Pascal.
- The idea for the screen layout was taken from DCC, a Norton Commander
- (⌐ Symantec) clone. All code from the German issue WinDOS was removed and
- rewritten for Copyright reasons. The ARJ and LHA code was translated by Mart
- Heubels (WinCAT PRO) and myself from public C sources to Pascal. A free
- unpacking DLL is in preparation.
-
- Many thanks go to Austin Basso and James Morris for correcting the English help
- file and to Thierry Charles and Thomas Zehnder for correcting the French
- version.
