- TO RUN PROGRAM, RUN THIS FILE: WARE.EXE
-
- 1) What does this program do?
-
- Have you ever downloaded or purchased a shareware application or game that has an expiry
- date? This means that you can only use the shareware program for a certain amount of time.
- "Shareware? Not!" sets the date on your computer to a date that is much earlier than the expiry
- date on your shareware application or game, and when you finish using that shareware program it
- sets your computer to the current date, enabling you to use the program for as long as you wish!
-
- 2) How do I use this program?
-
- "Shareware? Not!" is a standard Windows application. To add a shareware program to the
- list of programs you can run, you simply press the "Add" button. This will show a dialog box
- where you input the necessary information about the program you wish to run. It will ask you for
- the path of your program. That is, where the program is located on your hard drive. Also, it will
- ask you for the name of the program. Most importantly, you must select a date to be set when the
- program is prompted to run. That is, if the expiry date on the program is December 1, 1996, you
- can set the date to January 1, 1980. Press the button "Done" when you are finished. Now the name
- of the program will appear on the "Shareware? Not!" main screen (the screen that shows up when
- "Shareware? Not!" is run). Click on the name to run the program. Refer to the FAQ for questions.
-
- After using the program, click on the button "Restore". This will restore the current
- date back to your computer, and click on the button "Refresh" before running another program
- through "Shareware? Not!"
-
- Refer to the section "How do I register this program?" to learn how to be able to run
- more than three program through "Shareware? Not!".
-
-
- 3) FAQ:
-
- Q: Why is it that when I click on the name of the program I wish to run, I still get the expiry
- date message?
-
- A: On some faster systems (Pentium 100 and higher), "Shareware? Not!" isn't given the time
- to change the date on your computer before running the shareware program. To overcome this,
- simply click on the name of the program a second time, and the program should then launch.
-
- Q: Sometimes, the current date isn't always restored. How do I get it back?
-
- A: Double click on the date indicator in the "Shareware? Not!" program (above the "Exit" button).
- It will prompt you to input the current date, and when finished press the "OK" button to change
- the date on your computer.
