This document contains only a brief description of the package and its features, along with instructions for its installation. More detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more easily read after installation. If you have ever wanted grammar information at your fingertips, if you wanted to answer those questions that grammar checkers ask you, if you just are not sure where the comma goes...then Grammar Slammer is for you. It goes beyond a checker and is far easier than an online grammar book. It will slam your grammar agony! Grammar Slammer is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see GRAMSLAM.TXT for more details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see GRAMSLAM.TXT for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the program. ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 READ_ME.1ST 283 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 0F9DD969 FILE_ID.DIZ 440 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 5DFC652E SETUPKIT.DL_ 7008 23-Aug-1995 02:45p CE901129 SETUP.EXE 17888 20-Sep-1995 12:00a 78175C0A GRAMSLAM.EX_ 36934 1-Jan-1996 01:00a B6D01627 SETUPGS.EX_ 28689 17-Feb-1996 01:00a 7744E3F8 GRAMSLAM.HL_ 425687 1-Jan-1996 01:00a E9F8C9FD GSLAUNCH.HL_ 26058 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 531A6209 GSB.IC_ 766 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 2CB9EFD8 SETUP.INF 830 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 6196C970 GS1.IN_ 40 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 8D889D5B BBSINFO.TXT 3492 1-Jan-1996 01:00a A483513A VENDOR.TXT 3498 1-Jan-1996 01:00a 738649A4 GRAMSLAM.TX_ 12803 24-Feb-1996 02:42p 0D50372B TBAR.VB_ 42448 30-Aug-1994 05:23p C9D1E939 ===== Installation ===================================== To get started, you must install the file VBRUN300.DLL in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If you use a number of Windows programs, it is probably already there. If not, this file is available from most online services, bulletin boards, and software dealers, usually at no additional charge. Then simply run SETUP.EXE, and GRAMMAR SLAMMER will set itself up in any Windows version 3.0, 3.1, NT, or 95. You can run SETUP.EXE by choosing the "File|Run" Menu option in the Program Manager and entering SETUP.EXE. (In Windows 95 the "Start|Run" option on the taskbar does the same thing). You may also run SETUP.EXE by double-clicking on the SETUP.EXE name from File Manager (or Windows Explorer in Windows 95). SETUP problems (rare, but do happen): 1) SETUP does nothing. Make sure file VBRUN300.DLL is present in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Otherwise this usually happens on older machines (such as 386/25's) or machines which are configured for a language other than English. If this happens, you may manually copy and rename the files to the selected directory. We recommend making a directory (folder) named C:\GRAMSLAM and then copying the necessary files into it. The files needed are GRAMSLAM.EX_ which should be renamed GRAMSLAM.EXE; GRAMSLAM.TX_ to be renamed GRAMSLAM.TX_; GRAMSLAM.HL_ to be renamed GRAMSLAM.HLP; GS1.IN_ to be renamed GS1.INI; GSB.IC_ to be renamed GSB.ICO; GSLAUNCH.HL_ to be renamed GSLAUNCH.HLP; and TBAR.VB_ to be renamed TBAR.VBX. 2) After setting up and trying to run Grammar Slammer, you get a "Path not found" message. This may happen if the WINDOWS directory is on a different drive than the Grammar Slammer files. Try moving the Grammar Slammer directory and files to the same drive as WINDOWS directory. If there is still a problem, check to make sure all files are present. On a few older PC's there may still be a "path not found" message. Check to insure that the file WINHELP.EXE is in your \WINDOWS directory. For some reason the TBAR.VBX does not work on a few machines. In that case, you may still use Grammar Slammer, but you cannot use the toolbar. In that case add Grammar Slammer to your Startup Window. (IF the startup window is missing, consult your Windows manual for how to create it.) Edit the "File|Properties" so that the command line reads "winhelp.exe c:\gramslam\gramslam.hlp" and choose the GSB.ICO for the icon. (Clearly if Grammar Slammer is in a different directory than c:\gramslam, you will have to make the necessary changes.) Then check the "run minimized" box. This will cause Grammar Slammer to be loaded as an icon which you can click or double-click to call up. 3) If that still does not work, try going into the File Manager or Windows Explorer, and double-click on the GRAMSLAM.HLP file. If this does not successfully call up the Grammar Slammer help file, then either your WINHELP.EXE program is not working or in the wrong directory (it should be in your \WINDOWS directory), or your machine for some reason is not compatible. See GRAMSLAM.TXT file for additional ways of configuring your Grammar Slammer program. ===== Running GRAMMAR SLAMMER======================================== To run the program, double click on the new GRAMMAR SLAMMER icon you just installed. (Single click in Windows 95). All you see is a little toolbar with three buttons or icons. This toolbar stays on top of any word processor or program which is running in Windows. Click on the left button with the "G" and GRAMMAR SLAMMER will appear. When you are done using GRAMMAR SLAMMER, click on the "Close" button, and you will return to your program, with the Grammmar Slammer toolbar ready for you to use again when you need to. Click on the middle button with the universal "Stop Circle" and the program will close. Click on the right button with the Question Mark and a Windows menu will appear giving you some choices to position the toolbar where you want it, ask for help, turn the pop-up help boxes off and on, and get additional information. See GRAMSLAM.TXT file for additional ways of setting up and running Grammar Slammer. ===== Warranty ========================================= LIMITED WARRANTY THIS SOFTWARE AND MANUAL ARE PROVIDED FOR EVALUATION ONLY, ON AN "AS IS" BASIS.

We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to distribute our shareware in its original, unaltered form as long as you 1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition) 2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place ....and as long as we do not request you to stop. You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution, and we do notwant to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our mutual customer. If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales, please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that customers do not understand shareware. ASP, ESC, Walnut Creek, Simtel, Garbo, Winsite, SICS, PC-SIG, Washington State, STAR, Way Cool, Bongo, EMS, APCUG, PC-related periodical, and Night Owl collections are pre-authorized to include our programs on CD-ROM. This is our normal distribution sequence: 1. New versions are offered to our registered users and distributed to all users who have registered within a year of the release date. 2. New versions are posted on CompuServe (use IBMFF with ID 70730,3001). 3. New versions are released through SDNet. If you have a BBS and do not belong to SDNet, please consider joining this international network. 4. All ASP and ESC distribution members are included in the regular ASP and ESC CD-ROM. This saves us both time and money. If you are not an ASP vendor member or bulletin board member, please consider joining. If you work a lot with educational materials, consider joining the ESC (Educational Software Cooperative). 5. We also send copies of major revisions of our software to vendors and bulletin boards who have notified us of their interest. If you are a catalog house, please send us a catalog or copy of your distribution diskette. We will be glad to keep you updated. We also provide updates to all distributors who are named by registered usersas their source. If you are on the ASP, ESC, or SDN distributions, this may not be necessary and would save both of us a little time. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me: James Bair P.O.

This "human-readable" section is followed by a compressed data record useable by automated tools. The data record allows BBSes and other distributors to automate package handling, and provides users with a wealth of product information. VENDINFO tools (free viewer for users, free or inexpensive processors for distributors, editors for authors) are available from many BBSes, disk vendors, and other sources. ===== Compressed Data Record Follows =================== PK ∙Qè 7'π⌡£# VENDDATA.r ~ > 7'7 F . %$ ₧ > . ╬ .
