     To see a complete list of files that must be included with this 
     package for distribution, please INSTALL the program (described 
     below) and check the file called PACKING.LST. 

     TO INSTALL
      
     NOTE:  3 mb of hard disk space is required during the install. To use 
     PC-File, you must have at least 450K of RAM and DOS version 3.0 or 
     later. 

     If installing from a floppy disk, put DISK 1 in Drive A or B and at 
     the prompt type 
                A:INSTALL   <ENTER>  or     
                B:INSTALL   <ENTER>            
     The program will give you instructions from there on. Install will 
     copy an archived file to your disk.  This file will then be un-
     archived and, after all files are on your hard disk, the archived 
     file will be erased. 

     The install program will create a subdirectory if one does not 
     already exist. 

     If installing from a hard disk, you must either install to the same 
     subdirectory where you copied the files or to a different drive.  
     Install will not work from one subdirectory on the hard disk to 
     another subdirectory on the same drive.
     
     After installation, please read the READ.ME file as well as the other 
     important files listed in the READ.ME file.

                       |     WHAT IS SHAREWARE?     |
                       +----------------------------+
     Welcome to the Shareware revolution.  This remarkable method of 
     software distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and 
     Andrew Fluegelman.  It has become a major force in the computer 
     industry, helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy 
     protection schemes. 

     You are encouraged to copy the PC-File Shareware diskette(s) and 
     share them freely with others.  You have the luxury of trying out the 
     complete programs, at your own pace and in the comfort of your own 
     home or workplace.  This is not a disabled or demo copy, but the 
     complete fully-functional working version of the program. 

     After you have used PC-File for a reasonable evaluation period (not 
     to exceed 60 days) you must either stop using it or buy a licensed 
     copy from ButtonWare or from an authorized dealer. 

     Why pay at all?
       *  You receive the most current copy of the program
       *  Bound printed manuals (over 650 pages with screen shots)
       *  The option of purchasing pre-defined applications
       *  Notification of updates and new products
       *  Inexpensive updates (typically 1/3 the retail price)
       *  Periodic special price offers (for our registered users only)
       *  Your input and ideas help shape future products
       *  A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly participated
          in the Shareware revolution
       *  The satisfaction of helping to keep software prices down, by
          supporting a distribution method which doesn't depend on
          expensive advertising campaigns

     At ButtonWare, we are committed to the continued development of 
     useful, friendly (easy to use), inexpensive software.  Your payment is 
     very important.  It helps to fund the creation of new software 
     programs and encourages the Shareware approach to software 
     distribution.  In essence, your payment is a vote for this program and 
     for this method of software sales. 

     Sincerely,

     Jim Button
     Founder and president.
