- DeluxeConv 1.0 ReadMe - T R Teague - 31 Aug 90
- ================================================
-
- This file is a plain text file briefly describing DeluxeConv 1.0,
- such that you can decide if you wish to spend time downloading
- the rest of this package for use.
-
- * DeluxeConv is a Macintosh application designed to aid in converting
- StuffIt Classic¬ archives to StuffIt Deluxe¬ format. This can be
- useful to BBS operators, in converting their large collection of
- files that are probably in StuffIt Classic format, to obtain some
- of the benefits of StuffIt Deluxe - notably, a better compression
- ratio, thereby saving valuable disk space.
-
- * This software is copyrighted by the author, and is distributed as
- FreeWare. You are welcome to share and spread unmodified copies of the
- complete DeluxeConv package, as long as no fee is charged for the software,
- other than the normal cost of downloading or disk duplication fees. The
- complete package will consist of this ReadMe file (or release notes),
- documentation, and the DeluxeConv application itself.
- It will normally be distributed as a StuffIt archive.
-
- * This software is dedicated to the memory of Terry Clabaugh, an active
- BBS Sysop who passed away suddenly in August, 1990. It was the wish
- of Terry's family and friends, that donations not be sent to the
- family or to charities, but rather they believed Terry would have
- preferred money to be spent on BBS upkeep.
-
- * The software is distributed as a Stuffit file, whose contents are,
- and should remain so, as follows :
-
- + This ReadMe file (plain text).
-
- + The DeluxeConv 1.0 Application
-
- + DeluxeConv Documentation (MacWrite 4.6).
-
- * Features of DeluxeConv include :
-
- + It runs on all members of the Macintosh family that have the 128K ROM,
- or better, and a hard disk is recommended. It is compatible with Switcher,
- MultiFinder, AppleShare, RAMDisks etc.
-
- + It has a simple to use interface, and is efficient in execution.
