- Definition of Shareware
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
- If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
- register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
- while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the
- software to an updated program and a printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail
- authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
- good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
- the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,
- some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
- copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's retail or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower
- also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.

- Installating Bridge for Windows
-
- To install Bridge for Windows, follow these steps:
-
- Before you can use Bridge for Windows you have to run the setup program
- from Windows so it will work properly on your computer. You cannot just
- copy the files from the Bridge for Windows disk to your hard disk. The
- files on the distribution disk are packed in a special way to save space.
- The setup program unpacks those files and builds them on your working disk.
-
- Bridge for Windows installation will pre-install the Visual Basic runtime
- DLL on your system, if you do not already have a version. Other runtime
- files will be installed in the appropriate directory. Windows version
- stamping resources will be used to ascertain if a file should be copied
- to your computer.
-
- 1. Make Windows' "Program Manager" the active window.
-
- 2. From Windows' "Program Manager", select "File", then select "Run". This
- will open the "Run" dialog box.
-
- 3. Place the copy of Bridge for Windows in your floppy drive.
- Now, the dialog box needs for you to type in the command that will run
- the Bridge for Windows installation program.
-
- * If your floppy disk goes in your Drive "A", type:
- A:SETUP
- Leave the "Run Minimized" box un-selected, and click the "OK" command
- button.
-
- * If your floppy disk goes in your Drive "B", type:
- B:SETUP
- Leave the "Run Minimized" box un-selected, and click the "OK" command
- button.
-
- 4. Fill in the required information in the dialog box.
-
- * It will ask you for the "Source Drive and Directory" designation where
- your Bridge for Windows floppy disk is located. (This is the same
- floppy drive designation you typed in the previous step before the
- word "setup".)
-
- * It will ask you for the hard disk "Destination Drive and Directory"
- designation on which you want it to install Bridge for Windows. It
- will suggest a directory named "C:\BRIDGE".
-
- If you want the Bridge for Windows program files installed on a
- different drive or directory, just click the pointer to the right of
- the characters you want to change, backspace over the ones you want to
- erase, then type in the new designation.
-
- * It will automatically build a Bridge for Windows icon and add it to
- "Program Manager". Accept the "Yes" (already selected by default) if
- you do want it to do this. Select "No" if you do not.
-
- 5. Bridge for Windows Setup will unpack the necessary files and place them
- into the proper directories.
-
- 6. Bridge for Windows Setup will notify you when the installation is
- completed.
-
- Bridge for Windows is installed and ready to use. Double click the pointer on
- the Bridge for Windows icon and try it out!
