1. WORD TRANSLATOR SHAREWARE

This shareware version of Word Translator for DOS, may freely 
copied and circulated to whomever you choose. If they like the 
software and would like to order a registered version, they 
may do so by printing and completing the "INVOICE.TXT" document 
in your WORDTRAN directory; or you may write your order 
information on any paper you choose. 

Registered versions contain bilingual dictionary modules with 
a significantly greater number of entries, grammar help for some 
bilingual dictionaries and the ability to add to, change and 
otherwise customize the bilingual dictionary.

2. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

To allow you to both successfully install and use this 
shareware version of Word Translator for Windows, your 
computer must be an IBM-PC/XT/AT, or be IBM compatible 
(or an "IBM clone") and have:

> DOS 2.0 or higher
> A hard disk with at least 1MB of free space

3. DECOMPRESSION PROCEDURES

This shareware version of Word Translator for DOS may be 
distributed as a compressed, self-extracting ".exe" file, 
consequently, if you received it in this form, it MUST be 
decompressed BEFORE you attempt to install it. You may 
decompress it on the same floppy disk you received it on 
if there is sufficient space available ON THE DISK or you 
may decompress the .exe file on your hard drive.

(A) Decompress the .exe file on the floppy disk containing it:

If the Word Translator shareware ".exe" file you received is the 
ONLY file on a high density disk, at the C:\> prompt, place the 
disk in your A (or B) (floppy disk) drive and change the prompt 
to that drive by typing A:\> (or :B\>). The prompt should change 
to A:\> (or B:\>).  At the A:\> (or B:\>) prompt, type the name 
of the compressed file (e. g. WT4WPE.EXE) and press the <enter> 
key. The .exe file will self-extract on to your floppy disk if 
there is enough space available on the disk.  If there is
NOT enough free space to decompress the file onto the disk, 
you'll need to copy the compressed .exe file to a directory on 
your hard disk drive and decompress it IN a directory there. It 
may be easier to decompress the file in a directory that doesn't 
contain anything else. Once the.exe file is decompressed, copy 
all the decompressed files (except the single, original 
compressed .exe file you started out with) to a blank, high 
density floppy disk.

NOTE: With the floppy disk containing the .exe compressed file
in your floppy drive, you can find the name of the compressed 
.exe file by typing DIR at the A:\> (or B:\>)  prompt and then 
pressing the <enter> key.  A list of all files on the floppy disk 
in the drive should be displayed including the name of the .exe
compressed file.

(B)  Decompress the .exe file on your hard drive:

To copy the file to your hard drive BEFORE it is 
decompressed, place the disk containing the Word Translator 
.exe file in your A (or B) drive and copy the file to a 
directory on your hard drive (e. g. "UTILITY" or any 
directory name you may already have or create). We'll use 
the directory name "UTILITY" throughout this example. The 
directory should be empty. 

From the C:\> prompt, type MD UTILITY (to create or "make" 
a new directory named "utility") and press the <enter> key. 
Then COPY the single compressed Word Translator file to this 
new UTILITY directory by typing copy a:\file_name.exe C:\utility 
and then pressing the <enter> key. There should be ONE space 
at the end of .EXE and before the C:\utility directory name. 
The file should then be copied to the UTILITY directory on your 
hard disk. If the disk were in your B drive, you would us the 
same command line EXCEPT that you would type b:\ in place of 
a:\.

Next, at the C:\> prompt, change to the UTILITY directory 
(or wherever you copied the compressed Word Translator 
.exe file TO) by typing CD UTILITY and pressing the 
<enter> key. The prompt should change to C:\UTILITY>. 
At this prompt, type the name (e.g. WT4WEP.EXE) of the 
compressed file and press the <enter> key. The .EXE file 
should self-extract onto your hard disk in the UTILITY 
directory. You can find the name of the compressed file on 
you disk by typing DIR and then pressing the <enter> key at 
the A:\> (or B:\>) prompt.

4. Word Translator for DOS FILES

After using either of the above methods to decompress the 
Word Translator program files (or if you received them 
already decompressed) you should at LEAST include the 
following files:

WORDTRAN.EXE    INSTALL.EXE     Language_Name.GRM *
WORDTRAN.HLP    INSTALL.INI     Language_Name.NDX *
WORDTRAN.INF    INSTALL.HLP     Language_Name.REC *
WORDTRAN.MSG    INVOICE.TXT     Language_Name.SBS *
WORDTRAN.SBS    MANUAL.TXT      Language_Name.SFX *
WORDTRAN.KYS    README.TXT      (* these will be extracted 
WORDTRAN.INI                     from the Language.LZH file
				 DURING installation)                   
					
Language_Name denotes the specific bilingual dictionary 
language moduel contained in your Shareware copy of 
Word Translator for DOS:

ENGFRE=English-French-English
ENGSPA=English-Spanish-English
DANENG=English-Danish-English        
RUSENG=English-Russian-English        
PORENG=English-Portuguese-English 
NORENG=English-Norwegian-English            
GERENG=English-German-English
CROENG=English-Croatian-English
SERENG=English-Serbian-English
POLENG=English-Polish-English

You will need to transfer ALL the decompressed files from 
the UTILITY directory (but not the single compressed file 
you started with) to a blank, formatted high density floppy 
disk. You can easily do this either by using the COPY 
command at the C:\> prompt or in DOSSHELL. After you have 
done that, you can delete the single compressed file you 
started with from the UTILITY directory.

5. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

A. Insert the disk containing the decompressed Word 
Translator files into your A (or B) drive.

B. At the C:\> prompt, change to your disk drive prompt 
(the drive you just inserted the disk into) by  typing A:\ 
(or B:\) [depending upon which drive you placed the disk 
into] and then, pressing the <enter>) key. The C:\> prompt 
should change to the A:\>(or B:\) prompt --the drive 
containing the disk.

C. After the A:\> (or B:\>) prompt appears, type: install 
and press the <enter> key.

D. Carefully follow the on-screen installation instructions.

Installation for Word Translator for DOS creates a directory 
on your hard disk drive normally called C:\WORDTRAN where all 
Word Translator for DOS files and dictionaries are located.  

6. WHAT INSTALLATION DOES

During Word Translator's installation process, a "Destination" 
window will ask you to confirm the destination drive and the 
name of directory for the Word Translator for DOS files. 
The installation program will suggest c:\wordtran (the 
"default"). We highly recommend you use the drive letter 
"C" and directory name "WORDTRAN." For most users this will 
not cause any conflict. But if you need to install Word 
Translator on a drive other than "C," type the letter of the 
drive you require.
