What Did You get when you purchased So Much for Windows95?
----------------------------------------------------------
If your a home user, then our shareware discs are an exceptional value
filled with programs to fit most any need. Arcade games,graphics,
business, fonts, budgeting, Adlib/SoundBlaster and MIDI, communications,
hobby, utilities, drawing programs,networking software - You name it!
Why buy software first only to find it isn't what you thought? With
shareware you are obligated to pay the program author his/her requested
registration fee, but only if you use the program beyond a reasonable trial
period. With almost 1500 programs on this disc I'm sure you will find
something useful.
If your a sysop, you'll find our CD-ROM discs easy for most BBS software.
We use logical directory names and every directory contains a file listing
that follows the standard format (name, size, date, description).
WINPOWER 95 - Power Menu for Windows95 by One World Software.
----------------------------------------------------------
Easy to use and set-up, this menu system will work with most CD-ROM discs
published by Power User Software, Inc. including So Much Shareware
/3/4/5/6, So Much MODEM MADNESS /1&/2 etc.
You can use WinPower right from the CD-ROM very easily. The simplest way
would be to go into "My Computer" or Explorer and right-click-drag
WINPOWER.EXE to your desktop. If you want to run the menu from your
harddrive; copy WINPOWER.EXE and all related files to a directory on your
harddrive, go into "My Computer" or Explorer and right-click-drag
WINPOWER.EXE to your desktop, right-click Properties, click "shortcut" and
put your CD-ROM drive letter after WINPOWER.EXE on the target-line.
Refer to your manual if these instructions aren't clear.
WinPower uses a Soundcard if the appropriate driver is installed in Windows
If your having problems using Winpower.exe in windows you might want to
check to make sure you have the newest video drivers for your card. If you
get an error about an older THREED.VBX file you can copy it from the root
directory of the CD-ROM disc over to your windows system directory.
SF-ROM and EZ-ROM CD-ROM door programs
----------------------------------------------------------
CD-ROM discs and drives have become a standard feature on Bulletin Board
Systems. There have been quite a few online doors created to handle the
chore of running them but none match the value of SF-ROM and EZ-ROM from
author Mike Robinson. SF-ROM door works with SpitFire BBS, EZ-ROM door
will work with any other BBS software. Speed is especially important to
sysops and these programs can fly! They provide so many features it would
be impossible to list them all here. Just to list a few; browsing, text
search and download capabilities, Multiple disk support for up to 100
discs, Up to 1000 separate file areas per disc, MegaSearch feature can
search ALL disks for matching text, Batch downloads and file tagging of up
to 20 files, Local browse and copy to hard drive, multinode and network
operation - the list is endless! This door is shareware and should be
registered if you use it.
How to setup a BBS or online CD-ROM door quick and easy!
Simply change directories to \ROMDOOR on the So Much for Windows95 CD-ROM
and:
Type: INSTHELP for Help on command-line uses
CD \ROMDOOR
INSTALL
In a few minutes you can have one of the CD-ROM doors up and running, ready
for your callers to access and download files from. We've tried to do most
of the work for you! You still might have to make some minor adjustments
but not much more.
PCBoard setup
----------------------------------------------------------
File description lists in PcBoard format are located in each directory and
also the /PCBDIRS directory using filenames corresponding to the directory
such as DIR01 for file area #1 etc. The files DIRS/BBS.CLR are the listings
of file areas.
Other BBS Setup
----------------------------------------------------------
Each file directory contains 3 BBS description lists. SFFILES.BBS is used
by SpitFire BBS software and uses a comma in the file size. FILES.BBS is a
multi-line description file in PCBoard format, and FILES.LST is in TriBBS
format. We believe since PCBoard has become the standard file format most
BBS software can either support it or have utilities to convert it. If you
don't have such utilities they are available for download from our support
BBS in file area #2 or from the So Much Modem Madness /2 CD-ROM that is
online on our BBS.
Power User Software, Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------
The So Much... series of CD-ROM titles are produced by Power User Software,
Inc, Members of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) who have
been involved in shareware marketing for over 6 years. We've been on the
cutting edge of innovation, while always having the end-user in mind.
Power User hopes you are happy with your purchase of our disc, your
satisfaction will always be our top priority.
Haven't I seen this disc someplace before?
----------------------------------------------------------
We've noticed quite a few So Much ... look-alikes in the marketplace since
our very first disc in 1991. Some publishers have copied our artwork
style, split our disc up to make many smaller specialty discs, copied our
file descriptions word-for-word or even copied our look and feel "So Much"
I can barely tell the difference. Don't confuse our discs with others.
