===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
This package contains the FED Forms Editor (TM) and Printer Utility
(Shareware Version), by MicroFox Company. 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.
If you've ever wished you could create froms with standard ASCII text
files that use stnadard underlines as input fields, then the MicroFox
Forms Editor is the program for you...
FED is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes all the
features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may use it
for up to 30 days, without charge (see FED.DOC for more details). If
you like the program, and wish to continue its use after the thiry day
evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
REGISTER.DOC 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 =====================================
The installation procedure for the MicroFox Forms Editor (FED) is quite
simple. The package includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates
the entire process. You will need about 64K of available disk space on
the hard drive on which you plan to install FED.
The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received the FED
product.
INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
To install from diskette(s), you need to perform the following steps.
o Place the FED distribution diskette in the appropriate diskette
drive.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The program
will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy the FED
product files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
If you downloaded FED from a BBS (or received it in the form of archive
files from some other source), you will need to perform the following
steps.
o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
directions for this from the same source from which you received
the package.
o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
the FED package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
command, "c:\tempdir\install".
o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
the FED product files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
installation program will install executable programs and
documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make
no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
autoexec.bat or config.sys files.
When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed the FED product
(C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
YOU'RE READY TO GO
Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
(filename extension "doc") which have been installed. In particular,
read at least the "FED.DOC" and "REGISTER.DOC" files. Those documents
will tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other
information you need to properly evaluate FED. We hope you enjoy the
program.
