'MindMan' Version 1.1c - Release Information August 94
============================================================================
Please read this README file before you begin to work with 'MindMan'.
It should help you to avoid any mistakes during the installation and
gives you some hints to get familiar with 'MindMan'.
1. Installation
2. First Steps with 'MindMan'
3. Shareware Registration
4. Licence Agreement
1. Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
System Requirements:
- IBM PC or 100 percent compatible
- Processor 80386 oder higher
- DOS 4.01 and Windows 3.1 or higher (e.g. WfW 3.11)
- 2 MB of available memory
- 600 KB free hard disk space
The installation is very easy. Choose the 'Run' command from the 'File' menu
of the Windows Program Manager. Enter the command line 'A:\SETUP' and
excecute this command by pressing the ENTER key.
You will be prompted for the installation directory, which is by default
'C:\MINDMAN'. You can use the default path or you can enter a different
directory. The rest of the installation runs automatically and takes
about 2-4 minutes.
Before you can edit your 'MindMan' files through the Windows File Manager
you must
1. start 'MindMan' at least one time
2. map the file extension '.MMP' to the 'MindMan' application in
the File Manager.
If your installation directory remains on a network drive or if you are
using a Windows network installation you must have write permissions on
your installation directory and the Windows system directory. Please ask
your system administrator about these details. There is no special
network setup.
During the installation a logfile is written with all important actions of
the installation. You can find this ASCII text file in your installation
directory with the file name 'SETUP.LOG'.
If you have trouble with the installation use the support from the author:

2. First Steps with 'MindMan'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start with 'MindMan', you should read the following 3 chapters
in the online help:
1. "Introduction to Mind-Maps(TM)"
2. "Overview of MindMan Operation"
3. Description of Menus -> Help Menu-> Using Help -> "Go on here"
The installation directory contains the following Mind-Map examples:
EXHIBIT.MMP
WEDDING.MMP
HOLIDAYS.MMP
If you have a look at these Mind-Maps you will recognize immediately what
a Mind-Map is and how it should look like.
3. Shareware Registration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MindMan is distributed as Shareware. The Shareware Version possesses the same
functions as the registered product version, with the limitation that a
maximum of 3 topics and 20 branches may be input (for all open MindMan
documents together).
The registration is not carried out directly with the Author, but with CZAR
Software. CZAR Software is the registration site for USA and Canada.
Registration may be done by mail, telephone, Fax or via CompuServe. If you
register yourself, you will be sent the registered version immediately,
which will not have any restrictions. In addition, you will be
automatically informed if a new up-date of MindMan is produced.
For registration, please use one of the attached text files in DOS-WORD
Format, ('ORDERFRM.TXT'), and in WINWORD Format, ('ORDERFRM.DOC') or as
ASCII Text, ('ORDERFRM.ASC'). These files are located in your installation
directory. You only need to fill in your address, the number of copies
required, and your preferred method of payment; print the text, then send
it. The price of the registered MindMan Version is US$ 59.00.
4. Licence Agreement for the 'MindMan' Application
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The licence conditions are valid for both the registered version and the
Shareware version. By purchasing either the registered version or the
Shareware version, the purchaser accepts all of the following licence
conditions.
All rights related to the program rest with the author. The registered
program version may not be duplicated or resold without the express
permission of the author. The Shareware version may be freely copied and
passed on. The Shareware version may only be passed on in its entirety
(all the files on the diskette). The program or parts of the program may
not be modified. The author gives no guarantee that all parts of the
program will function as intended. The author undertakes no liability for
any damage (e.g. data loss) which may result from the use or installation
of this program.
One registered copy of 'MindMan' may either be used by a single person who
uses the software personally on one or more computers, or installed on a
single workstation used by multiple people. You are not allowed to use both
methods. If 'MinMan' is installed on a network, you must be shure that
there is a valid licence for each computer in the network from which
'MindMan' is used.
