===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the recipe management program, MicroCook, by
NORSKi Software. This document contains only a brief description of the
package and its features, along with instructions for its installation.
Quite detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in
archived form, and is more easily read after installation.
MicroCook is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all
features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
for up to 30 days, without charge (see READ1ST.TXT for more details). If
you like the program, and wish to continue its use after this evaluation
period, you are required to pay for the program (see REGISTER.TXT for
more details). Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors,
dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their
copying and distribution services, rather than a payment for continued
use of the program.

===== Installation =====================================
To register, select the Register function from the Print menu in
MicroCook. There the choice of registration method can be selected, and
printed. When you register you will receive a small "key file" with the
serial number and your name. Place this file in the SAME directory as
MCOOK.EXE. This file is for YOU only, and must NOT be distributed
with any copies you give to your friends or upload to BBS's (which
you are encouraged to do). The Key disables all the "Please Register!"
messages and the limit of displayed recipes in the Index listing. I added
these "features" as reminders to unregistered users, not to harass them.
The unregistered version and the registered version are identical in
functions, except for these messages and index limit. Also included with
the registered version are 2,000 free recipes. You can also run the
REGISTER program from the DOS prompt, or from FILE/RUN in Windows.
Please keep a copy of the Key file in a safe place, since you have to
pay a $5.00 S&H fee to get a new one. Serial number and Control number
can be sent to you via e-mail if registering with SWREG, PsL, or when a
check has been received. To print out the documentation included with
MicroCook, use the File Manager from the Tool menu in MicroCook. There
you can select any of the TXT files that are included with MicroCook,
and both read and print them. To print the manual, select "Manual"
under the Print Menu in MicroCook. This will format the manual better.
If you are printing to a continuous feed printer (DOT-Matrix), you
should locate the first page perforation about 1 inch above where the
print head is located.

IMPORTANT!!! MCOOKxxx.ZIP has been ZIPped with a registered version of PK
ZIP,
and has an Authenticity Verification built in. So when you un-ZIPped the
MCOOKxxx.ZIP file, you should have seen a -AV after each file name, like:
Inflating: MCOOK.EXE -AV
and at the end of un-ZIPping these two lines:
Authentic files Verified: # KEM280
NORSKI SOFTWARE
The -AV mean that the file pass a checksum that was generated when I ZIPp
ed
up the file, and that it has NOT been changed since it left my PC.
If you see the last two lines, it also tell you that ALL the files are
exactly as they left my PC, and that the MCOOKxxx.ZIP has NOT been re-ZIP
ped
or tampered with. Only NORSKi Software has the been assigned the ID# KEM2
80
from PKWARE, and this number can NOT be falsified.
If one of the files do NOT pass the -AV verification, or the last two lin
es
are missing or different, SOMEONE HAS CHANGED OR RE-ZIPPED MCOOKxxx.ZIP,
and
COULD have changed some of the files. You should then practice Safe Compu
ting
and run a virus checking program, just to be on the safe side.
If you downloaded the MCOOKxxx.ZIP file from a BBS, the Sysop there might
have added some advertising for his/her BBS as a part of the ZIP file. So
me
shareware distributors also like to add their own installation programs t
oo.
In those cases, there's probably nothing else added, but be safe and do a
virus check.
Happy Computing!

the thirty days trial period.
