- Dear Software Developer;
-
- This is the latest version of PopUpFuncs.
- Thank you for your support and interest in this utility.
-
- To install, launch the installer application. Click the "Install" button.
- Find and choose your copy of MPW or THINK C. The installer will copy the
- appropriate WDEF and some supporting resources to the resource fork of the
- chosen file. To remove, click the remove button.
-
- To use, click on either icon (they'll be in the titlebar of your source
- code window). To get access to whatever xPops are installed, hold down the
- command key while clicking. To sort the list of function names
- alphabetically, hold down the shift key while clicking.
-
- We're pretty sure that you'll soon find it an indespensible part of your
- programming environment. We're so sure that you'll like it, we guarantee
- it. If you find at any time that you can live without it, let
- us know and we'll refund your money.
-
- We're relying on word-of-mouth to promote this utility, we've kept the price
- low, we're giving you the unusual guarantee, and we've sent you a high-quality
- diskette. In return for this, we ask that you tell everyone you know that
- they need PUF, and give them our address instead of a copy of PUF.
-
- You can also give them a copy of the application "PopUpFuncs Demo". It installs
- a moderately crippled version of PUF which will stop parsing after 15-20 uses.
- Relaunching the application will give the user another 15-20 uses. It's incredibly
- easy to circumvent the code that implements the crippling, our point wasn't to
- show that we know how to do copy-protection. Our point was to show the potential
- purchaser just how quickly 20 uses goes by.
-
- If you truly can't afford the price, for whatever reason, give us a call at
- (510) 649-8525 and tell us what you can afford.
-
- The price is $45 (single user) plus $3 for shipping and handling, CA residents
- add the sales tax (7.5% if we ship to Alameda County, 6.5% otherwise).
-
- We no longer offer site licenses, instead a quantity discount is available.
- The discount schedule is as follows:
-
- 2 copies %10 11-24 %30
- 3-5 %15 25-49 %35
- 6-10 %20 > 50 %45
-
- The discount is cumulative, you don't have to order the copies at the same time.
-
- Warnings and Errata
- -------------------
- The MPW version works with MPW versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2b1-3.2b8. It is known
- to NOT WORK on earlier shell versions.
-
- The toolbox trap PopUpMenuSelect does funny things when you try to display
- a popup near the top of the screen of an alternate monitor (that is, a
- monitor without the menubar on it). You'll see this if you place a window
- at the top of your alternate monitor and then invoke PUF. This is a
- cosmetic bug, as far as we can tell.
-
- The C parser doesn't like some forms of C++ operator-overloading. This
- will be dealt with in a future version.
-
- Not all the details described in the xPop internals document have been
- implemented. Developers interested in writing their own xPops should
- contact us. We designed the interface according to our own projected
- needs and are interested in getting feedback from developers concerning
- any needs we didn't anticipate.
-
- Installing to an application which is in an AppleShare folder to which you
- don't have write permission will cause the Installer to hang.
-
- Comments, Questions, Suggestions, Reports, Complaints.
- ------------------------------------------------------
- If you find the PopUpFuncs can't parse a file, or gets partway then seems
- to ignore the remaining functions, please send us a copy of the file. Most
- bugs can be fixed in a few hours if we have the offending file. If your
- source code is too sensitive to release, just use the "Source Masher" utility
- to convert your code into a less sensitive form.
