it useful then you must purchase the right to use it. If you have
already paid a fee to a vendor then that fee was for copying and
distribution only.

There are several ways to purchase NuTest.

Non-U.K. banks are perfectly acceptable. Just write your check in the
usual way, send it to me and I'll do the rest. I will send your
software key to unlock the license classes you require by return post,

===== Packing List =====================================
As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the
following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ:
Filename Size Date Time CRC32
FILE_ID.DIZ 361 4-Jun-1996 01:32a FCF06F64
INSTALL.EXE 1043052 14-Jun-1996 01:32a 0FB498BA
README.TXT 821 7-Apr-1996 01:32a B070E09E
===== Installation =====================================
The installation procedure for NuTest is quite simple. The
package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the
entire process. You will need about 2Mbytes of available disk space
on the hard drive on which you plan to install NuTest.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
NuTest.
IMPORTANT NOTE
You must use INSTALL to transfer the files from the installation disk,
do NOT use COPY. This is because the files have been compressed to fit
them on the distribution disk and will not be useable in compressed
form. INSTALL automatically expands them as it copies them to your
working directory.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the NuTest distribution diskette in the
appropriate diskette drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette
using File Manager or Program manager in the usual way.
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory and will copy
the NuTest files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will NOT
modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded NuTest from a BBS (or received it in the form of
archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
following steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you
received the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program in the temporary directory
using File Manager or Program manager in the usual way.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any
changes are actually made to the contents of your hard
drive. The program will ask you for a destination directory,
and will copy the NuTest files to that directory. If you
so direct it, the installation program will install
executable programs and documentation in other directories of
your choice. it will NOT modify your autoexec.bat or
config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed NuTest
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation you should find a new MORSE
program group in Program Manager or a new item in the Start button list
if you are using Windows 95. I hope you enjoy using NuTest.
If you are running NuTest under Windows95 then the program tabs may
be obscured by the Windows95 Task Bar when using certain screen
resolutions. You can avoid this problem by setting the Windows95 Task
Bar to Autohide.
