- *** LATE-BREAKING NEWS ***
-
- This new version of WinCheck, having been through the mill quite a
- few times, finally appears to be at the bug free state we've been
- dreaming of for quite some time.
-
- For those of you who have been with us since the inception of WinCheck,
- we conquered the embarrassing "What!!?? It can't add bug", the infamous
- "Details file" bug, the "Split Transaction UAE bug", and an incredibly
- long series of ankle-biter bugs.
-
- If you are new to WinCheck, just be thankful of all the pain and
- anguish your predecessors have endured waiting for WinCheck to become
- the first-rate product it is now.
-
- Complete disk-based documentation is available in the installation
- directory as WINCHECK.TXT. It is too large to view with the NotePad
- editor. You can use Windows Write (be sure to select the Courier Font
- to make the Tabs come out correctly), the file Browser that comes with
- Command Post, WSmooth from PC Magazine, or actually most DOS based
- file viewers. Just copy the file to your printer to print it. For
- Example, copy it to LPT1 from File Manager. Or from the DOS (I know,
- I know) prompt:
- C:\WINCHECK> COPY WINCHECK.TXT LPT1
-
- Good Luck
-
-
-
- REGISTRATION REMINDERS
-
- Unlicensed copies of WinCheck are 100% fully functional.
-
- Unlicensed copies of WinCheck have a pesky registration reminder screen
- that pops up whenever you start the program. Thats it!
-
- We're not going to beat you about the head and shoulders with our
- reminder screens. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality
- of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone,
- call the nice people at our 800 number and register WinCheck.
-
- When you pay for the shareware you like, you are voting with your
- pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds
- of products. Pay for what you like, and voila, more of what you like
- will almost magically be developed.
-
- Besides, I got to feed the cat...
-
-
- LEGAL MATTERS
-
- Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not
- responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are
- held responsible, the limit of our liability is the
- licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license
- agreement is found near the bottom of this file.
-
