I.  What does it include?  Why would you want to use it?  Well, here are a few features...

	* Nearly 250,000 indexed items, including over a hundred thousand translations, and tens of thousands of secondary entries.
	* Indications of literary, slang, and vulgar usage, and indications for usage (including synonyms, accompanying prepositions, general categories, and more).
	* Thousands of technical terms.
	* A reverse translation feature, which helps show how various choices translate back into the departure language (an essential tool for zeroing in on the right word or expression).
	* English pronunciation by voice synthesis.
	* Drag & Drop, allowing you to drag words between Ultra Lingua and other applications.
	* Fully network-ready.
	* Tables showing translations of numbers, expressions of time, geographical terms, as well as samples of correspondence.
	* All this at blinding speed, using surprisingly little memory.
	* grammatical notes concerning irregular forms (plurals, past participles, future stems, etc.).
	* The marking of English and American usage and spelling.


II.  How do you use it?

1.  If you have a previous version of Ultra Lingua installed on your computer, you should uninstall it first by using the Add/Remove Programs control panel, which you can find by selecting Control Panels from the Settings section of the Windows Start menu.

2.  Run the installer (install.exe) and follow its instructions.

3.  Launch Ultra Lingua by selecting it from the Programs section of
the Windows Start menu.  Alternatively, you can open the folder in which you
installed the program (probably C:\Program Files\Ultra Lingua) and double-click
on ultralin.exe.

4.  Ultra Lingua is straight-forward to use, but to learn more about its features,
you can find the on-line manual under the Help menu.

NOTE: Ultra Lingua allows you to use either Microsoft's WinHelp system
or the newer HTMLHelp system. The default is WinHelp, but you can switch to
HTMLHelp by selecting Options under the View menu. HTMLHelp is a very nice
way to navigate through help files, but it is not yet a stable technology
on all systems. If you have trouble with HTMLHelp, select the WinHelp option.


How do you uninstall it?

We hope you won't want to, but you can uninstall Ultra Lingua in one of
two ways. You can use the Add/Remove Programs control panel (look for it in
the Windows Start menu under Settings and Control Panels), or you can
double-click uninstallUL.exe in the Ultra Lingua folder. If you want to know
the gory details of what the installer installs and what the uninstaller
uninstalls, read the install.txt file.

III.  How do you pay for it?

Ultra Lingua dictionaries cost $25.00 US per license ($20 per license for orders of ten or more; $19 per license for twenty or more; for site licenses, please contact us.) While the programs are distributed over the internet, you may purchase a copy on CD-ROM for $18 shipping and handling, in addition to the license fee. (Simply check the appropriate box on the order forms.)

Fill out the blanks, indicate your method of payment, and save the form. Then print it (for postal or fax orders) or copy it into an e-mail (for e-mail orders). Don't forget to include appropriate payment. E-mail payments are to be sent to sales@kagi.com, as indicated on the form.

IV.  Can you distribute it?
