- About: MasterMind Typing 1.03
-
- If you want MasterMind Typing configured differently for your
- style of distribution, or if I can help in any other way,
- please phone or write:
-
- 2400 Olympic Boulevard, suite 3-192
- Walnut Creek, California 94595-1500, U.S.A.
- phone (510)210-1603
-
- To automate setup, configurations differ among:
- * BBS self-extracting LHA
- * BBS ZIP
- * 3½" disk distribution
- * 5¼" (360K) disk distribution
-
- Shareware dealers, trying to help, often add procedures that
- inhibit MasterMind Typing installation. Let nothing impede
- the automated SETUP that MasterMind Typing has! When users
- fail to install, they blame us both. Measures that you have
- used to standardize installation are especially perilous.
- Please channel your creative energy elsewhere.
-
- The common mischief is an ingenious .BAT file that disk
- dealers add to every product. Please refrain! MasterMind
- Typing already has a HELP.BAT that tells the user how to
- start automated installation. If your diskette label tells
- users to execute something, let it be my HELP. Just rename
- my HELP.BAT as YOURNAME.BAT to conform with your label.
-
- Do not rearchive MasterMind Typing. Everyone who has
- rearchived has made installation difficult or impossible. If
- there is any deficiency in the archive that you have, let me
- fix it for you.
-
- If you prepare a master for reproduction that deviates from
- mine in the slightest, send me a copy for checkout. I really
- mean in the slightest (except for renaming HELP.BAT), even if
- you only add a .TXT advisory.
-
- As your catalog description, please adopt CATALOG.TXT (or,
- for BBS archives, FILE_ID.DIZ). Evolved through many
- conversations with users, it says what they need to know,
- attractively and briefly. To illustrate the MasterMind
- Typing entry in your catalog, please contact me for
- GRAPHICS.ZIP if you don't have it already.
-
- Thanks for your support.
