**SPECIAL NOTE*** If you have trouble seeing the text in the opening screens and in some of the other Dialog Boxes, you have an old copy of Borland's BWCC.DLL on your computer that must be removed. We installed the new BWCC.DLL file to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ directory. Most likely if you are having a problem, you will find the old file in your \WINDOWS directory. *WELCOME* Welcome to the Shareware Evaluation copy of PayWindow from ZPAY Payroll Systems, Inc. Please read this file before doing anything in the program. The main PASSWORD that will let you enter the program and change the password to your own is LAUPREYAM and must be entered when you run the program for the first time. You can also enter this any time in the future if you want to change your password again. The first thing you need to do is to print the Test Drive Topic in the help file after entering the PayWindow program. You would do this by selecting Help, then selecting the Test Drive topic and click Print Topic. This will show you how to use the PayWindow program and aquaint you with its features. We have tried to add as many keywords that we could think that would be helpful in finding how to do things in PayWindow. If you have any suggestions for improving the help file such as keywords or other text, please let us know. One Important Word Of Caution!!! When you are done with the sample payroll data, and are ready to start a new file, do not name it PAYROLL. If you do this you will loose your data when you receive the registered version from us. You must use a new name and start from scratch. Registration is $69.95 plus $5.00 S&H. You can print the file ORDER.TXT and fill it out and mail it in with your check or order by phone with a MasterCard or Visa. ZPAY Payroll Systems, Inc.

The board shall set up the office of Ombudsman and appoint someone to that position. The Ombudsman's sole role shall be to mediate disputes between ASP members and their customers. The Ombudsman shall report to the board situations where he feels board action or knowledge is appropriate. 2. All ASP members and vendor associate members are required to cooperate with the Ombudsman when approached by him/her. 3. The Shareware version of any shareware program produced by ASP author members must contain the following text as part of some file on the disk. (The shareware version means the one intended for trial use). "This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536." 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, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. 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. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of PayWindow must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "PayWindow is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse- quential, which may result from the use of PayWindow." PayWindow is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using PayWindow and continue to use PayWindow after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg- istration payment of $69.95 plus $5.00 S&H to ZPAY. The $69.95 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. Commercial users of PayWindow must register and pay for their copies of PayWindow within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con- tacting ZPAY. Anyone distributing PayWindow for any kind of remuneration must first contact ZPAY at the address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering PayWindow immediately (However ZPAY must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of PayWindow.). You are encouraged to pass a copy of PayWindow along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of the PayWindow system.
