Release Policy:
 The shareware version of this program can be freely distributed

 charge a fee or otherwise profit from distribution.  See 
 vendor.txt or the license for sample reviews and for-profit
 distribution terms.

Printing this file: (Approx 6 pages)
  Use the notepad to view/print this file or just use the DOS
  PRINT command as in:
    c:>  print readme.txt

Looking at the manual:
  Use the Windows Write application to view and print the 
  manual.  Use the File Open command from Write to view the
  file MSCALC.WRI. Use the File Print command in to print it.
  You may prefer to set the font for the manual to a printer
  font before printing them.

Installation using the setup program:
  If you are loading the program from a floppy disk you should
  have a file called "setup.exe" on it.  Run this command 
  Choose the File Run command from the menu of your program 
  manager and type in 'a:\setup' or 'b:\setup' to run the Money
  Smith setup program from your drive.  Alternately you can
  double click on the file from the Windows program manager.
  Setup will fully install this program including installation
  in the program manager.  If you have trouble running setup 
  consult the manual instructions below.

From the shareware source: 
 Odds are pretty good you downloaded this from a bulletin board
 or copied it from a friend.  Odds are equally good the program
 is compacted in some way.  Create a new directory for Money
 Smith on your hard disk and copy the archived version to this
 new directory.  The most popular file compaction programs 
 follow: 

 Self Extracting Archive example: smith2.exe - you need to run 
	smith.exe 
 PKZIP format: example: mscalc.zip - you need to run  
	pkunzip mscalc.zip 
 PKARC format: example mscalc.arc - you need to run 
	pkunpak mscalc.arc 
 LHARC format: example mscalc.lzh - you need to run 
	lharc x mscalc.lzh 
 
 You can get all three of these shareware unpacking programs
 from your nearest bulletin board or a local users group.  
 Other packing programs are popular, so ask the person you 
 got the program from. Once unpacked you can use the setup.exe
 program to setup Money Smith. See the instructions above.

Manual Installation:
 You can manually install the calculator if setup fails to do so
 or if you simply prefer manual installation.  Follow the 
 instructions below 
  1. Create a new directory for MSCALC.
  2. Copy all of the files to the new directory.
  3. Install MSCALC in your Windows program manager.

Definition of Shareware
 Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
 before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
 using it, we expect you to register. Individual programs differ
 on details -- some request registration while others require 
 it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you
 get the simple right to continue using the software and an 
 updated program.

 Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
 and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few 
 specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are 
 accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and
 the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there
 are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the 
 method of distribution. The author specifically grants the 
 right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and
 sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors 
 require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
 copy their Shareware.

 Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
 should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, 
 whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes 
 fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
 And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
 has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the 
 product, you don't pay for it.
