- Copying services are authorized to distribute the shareware version of
- Wssindex for a reasonable fee, provided only that the complete package is
- distributed. You may also add additional text or BAT files with
- instructions and advertisements. Please contact the author if you wish to
- modify the documentation files. Also, you are encouraged to contact the
- author so that I can send you a copy of the latest release. Descriptions
- below may be used verbatim or edited.
-
- If the shareware files are posted in compressed form on a BBS, the
- suggested file names are WSSI522A.xxx and WSSI522B.xxx where xxx is the
- usual extension for the archiver used. Combining all the files into one
- archive is not recommended because it makes extraction to 360K floppies
- awkward.
-
- Hardware/software requirements
- Almost any MS-DOS machine (special versions available for DEC Rainbow
- and TI Professional)
- 256K memory, but you won't be happy with capacity. 512K+ recommended
- MS/PC DOS 2.1+, 4DOS, NDOS or DR-DOS
