│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │

===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Thank you for your interest in WinUpD8r. You will find this utility to
be extremely helpful in keeping multiple computers synchronized to the
latest versions of their common files. Using floppy disks as the
intermediary between the machines, you can automatically transfer the
latest file versions without having to remember which files have been
changed.
WinUpD8R has several operating modes, allowing you to set up a procedure
closely suited to your needs and to the current organization of your
computers. No need to restructure your drives to take advantage of
WinUpD8R's abilities.
The on-line help gives detailed examples which guide you in selecting
the most appropriate UpD8 method and then walk you through the steps
necessary to set up your floppy(s).
===== Packing List =====================================
As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the
following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ:

===== Installation =====================================
If your package included OWSETUP.EXE on the disk, simply run this
program from within Windows and follow the instructions.
If you have downloaded UPD8R.ZIP (from CompuServe) or UPD8R_30.ZIP from
another BBS, or have otherwise acquired WinUpD8R without the
accompanying OWSETUP.EXE installation program, simply unzip (using
PKUNZIP.EXE or similar de-archiving utility) the .ZIP file into its own
directory. Then, from Windows' FileManager, drag the file WINUPD30.EXE
onto the open Program Manager group in which you wish the utility to
reside. Windows will automatically install WinUpD8R in this group and
the WinUpD8R icon will appear in this group.
To start WinUpD8R, simply double-click its icon. On-line help is
available should you have any difficulties in using WinUpD8R. A short
period of familiarization with WinUpD8R's documentation (either on-line
or in the README.WRI document) will pay dividends in a smooth startup of
your new automatic UpD8ing procedure.
===== Warranty =========================================
A registered user of any Open Windows program is entitled to a full
refund of their registration fee if they are not satisfied with the
program they have registered. Send a letter to Open Windows requesting a
refund (we'd like to hear why, but that's not a requirement) and stating
that you will discontinue all use of the program upon receipt of your
refund. It's as simple as that - no questions asked.
===== License for Use and Distribution =================
WinUpD8R 3.0 is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to
the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but
please give them the original UPD8R_30.ZIP (or UPD8R.ZIP if obtained
originally from CompuServe) file so that they will have all of the
necessary support files. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without high
prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
develop new products. If you find this program useful and continue to
use WinUpD8R 3.0 after the 30-day trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $15.00 plus $3.00 S&H to Open Windows. The
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at
any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An
example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
may be freely installed on multiple computers, so long as there is no
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at
another - just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of WinUpD8R 3.0 must register and pay for their copies
of WinUpD8R 3.0 within 30 days of first use or their license is
withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Open
Windows.
