===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
(Installation instructions are included below)
QUICK START:
------------
In order to make FULL use of this powerful program, you will need to
fully read the documentation, which is contained in a file called
MUSICEZ.DOC. However, simply executing the command ME followed by
pressing the [ENTER] key will start the program. The menu options are
displayed in the lower portion of the screen, and you can move forward
from one item to another by pressing the [SPACE] or [TAB] keys. The
[BACKSPACE] or [SHIFT]-[TAB] keys will move backwards from one item to
the previous.
The first thing that you will probably want to do is to set the Options
for your system. When initially installed, MusicEase is configured for
CGA video. Using your [TAB] key, move through the options at the bottom
of the screen until "Options" is highlighted. Press your [ENTER] key to
go into the Options setup area. Once in the Options area, press [TAB] to
highlight the "Display" option, and press [ENTER]. In the Display setup,
you can select the preferred MODE (Text or Graphics), RESOLUTION (Medium
or High), and ADAPTER (MDA, CGA, EGA, VGA, etc).
With these options set, you're ready to begin using MusicEase!
PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION:
---------------------------
The documentation file (MUSICEZ.DOC) is formatted for 75-characters per
line, and 60-lines per page. To print the documentation, you can simply
issue the following command from the DOS command line:
COPY MUSICEZ.DOC PRN
The documentation file contains form-feed characters, so it can also be
printed by various printing utilities.
MusicEase is Shareware!
-----------------------
The registration fee for MusicEase is $49.00 (US), plus applicable
shipping/handling charges. You are entitled to evaluate MusicEase for a
period of up to 30 days. If after that time you intend to continue to
use the program you must pay for it. If you do not intend to continue
to use the program you must delete it from your system.
There is a file named REGISTER.TXT in the distribution file set which
contains the order form.
The shareware copy of MusicEase that you have is not restricted in any
way. Upon purchasing a licensed copy of the product, you will receive:
- a copy of the most current version available,
- a 25% discount on future upgrades and new releases,
- a printed manual including graphics of music which cannot be
included in the non-registered on-disk manual,
- an extensive tutorial,
- a symbol definition utility,
- a symbol file containing many more symbols,
- a disk containing various sample scores as examples of the
extensive capabilities, and samplee LaserJet print files
which can be copied directly to a LaserJet printer as examples
of the truly professional output capabilities. (this disk is
available for downloading from our support BBS, or may be
ordered separately at a minimal cost).
- unlimited support via mail, telephone, CompuServe, etc.,
- update notices for future versions,
- removal of the watermark on printed output,
- removal of registration reminder screens,
- welcome screen will include "Registered to: <YourName>".
And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support
the Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality
software at realistic prices.
So what is Shareware?
---------------------
Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and
publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and
by copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are
allowed to try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate
in money back guarantees.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is
good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software.
The primary difference between shareware and retail software is that
with shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they
are able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it
takes to launch a traditional retail software product.
The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the
shareware you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow
shareware authors to support and continue to develop their products.
Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you
actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive
by your support!
RMH Computer Services is a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX
616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
Ombudsman 70007,3536.

===== Installation =====================================
INSTALLATION:
-------------
Installation of MusicEase is very easy.
If you have received your evaluation copy on (2) 5-1/4" floppy disks,
simply place DISK #1 in your floppy disk drive and type A:START [ENTER].
(or B:START, or any other valid floppy drive letter).
If you received your evaluation copy on a single 720k floppy disk,
simply place the disk in your floppy disk drive and type A:START [ENTER]
(or B:START, or any other valid floppy drive letter).
If you "downloaded" an evaluation version from a BBS or other electronic
service, create a "temporary" subdirectory on your hard disk drive, and
extract the files from the distribution archive file to that directory.
Then change to that subdirectory, and type START [ENTER]. After the
installation is complete, the files in the temporary directory may be
deleted.
The installation program will create the necessary subdirectory on your
hard drive, and will then install the program files to that
subdirectory.
