INSTALLATION: 
-------------
Installation of Jason's File Finder (later referred to simply as JFF) is 
very easy. Simply place a copy of the executable file (JFF.EXE) on a floppy 
disk, or in a subdirectory on your hard drive. For installation to a hard 
drive, it is recommended that you place the files in a subdirectory which 
is included in your PATH statement, as this will allow you to run the 
program from any place on your system.

QUICK START: 
------------
In order to make FULL use of this powerful file finder, you will need to 
fully read the documentation, which is contained in a file called JFF.DOC. 
However, simply executing the command JFF HELP, followed by pressing the 
[ENTER] key will start the program and display a help screen listing 
examples of the various commands that are available to you. 

Alternately, if you include a filename.ext on the command line after JFF 
(separated by a single [SPACE]), the program will search the current drive 
(including all subdirectories) for the specified file. Valid DOS wildcard 
characters are accepted. 

PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION:
---------------------------
The documentation file (JFF.DOC) is formatted for 70-characters per line, 
and 60-lines per page. To print the documentation, you can simply issue the 
following command from the DOS command line:

     COPY JFF.DOC PRN

The documentation file contains form-feed characters, so it can also be 
printed by various printing utilities.


Jason's File Finder (JFF) is Shareware!
---------------------------------------
The registration fee for Jason's File Finder is $10.00 (US). You are 
entitled to evaluate Jason's File Finder for a period of up to 30 days. If 
after that time you intend to continue to use the program you must register 
it. If you do not intend to continue to use the program you must delete it 
from your system. 

There is a file named REGISTER.TXT in the distribution file set which 
contains the registration information, and the address to mail your 
registration fee to. Simply issue the DOS command "COPY REGISTER.TXT PRN" 
and press the [ENTER] key to print the form, fill it out, and mail it 
(along with your payment) to the address listed.

The shareware copy of Jason's File Finder that you have is not restricted 
in any way. Upon registering the product, you will receive:

1) A lifetime license to use the product.

2) Support via the phone, by fax, mail, CompuServe, and various other 
   message networks.

   foremost publications, by Mike Callahan (alias Dr. FileFinder)

In addition to the registered benefits listed above, registered users may 
also:

7) purchase the source code for the program, so that they can create their 
   own custom modifications to the program.

8) request customized versions of the program. Fees for customized versions 
   must be negotiated in advance.

And apart from all that, the knowledge that you are helping to support the 
Shareware concept - a distribution system that brings you quality software 
at realistic prices.

So what is Shareware? 
---------------------
Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors and 
publishers through bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by 
copies being passed among friends. It is software that you are allowed to 
try before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back 
guarantees.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. There is good 
and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The 
primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with 
shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.

You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it 
meets your needs, before you pay for it.  Authors benefit because they are 
able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it takes to 
launch a traditional retail software product.

The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware 
products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware 
you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow shareware authors 
to support and continue to develop their products. 

Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you 
actually use and by passing them on to others. Shareware is kept alive by 
your support!
