Ŀ WinPrice - Home Finance Price Evaluation Utility v1.00 SEE BELOW FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION Ŀ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record This record is a means of conveying information about a software product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the originators of VENDINFO: Rams' Island Software Voice: 303-841-2848 CompuServe: 76244,324 7644 E.

You will find this utility to be extremely helpful in making day-to-day decisions involving purchases of items where it is unclear which alternative offers the best value. As an example, which should you purchase - liter bottles of cola for $5.29 for four liters or quart bottles for $1.19 each? WinPrice will quickly show the best buy to be the quart bottles. They're a little over 6 cents cheaper per quart than the liter bottles. While you could do this calculation on your regular calculator, it would involve many more key presses PLUS the need to remember or look up the fact that there are 0.94634 liters in a quart. WinPrice takes care of all the metric - English conversions as well as intermediate conversions and displays the answer in terms of the most "sensible" unit in your choice of English or metric systems. ===== Packing List ===================================== As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ: Filename Size Date Time CRC32 FILE_ID.DIZ 436 1-Feb-1994 01:00a 3EA3A2C6 WINPRI10.EXE 67840 1-Feb-1994 01:00a 3D3F30F1 WINPRI10.FRM 2944 1-Feb-1994 01:00a 9F6C97F2 WINPRI10.HLP 16411 1-Feb-1994 01:00a 3D394E7A WINPRI10.REG 4992 1-Feb-1994 01:00a E2B8B637 REGISTER.TXT 1766 1-Feb-1994 01:00a A64D9B64 VENDOR.TXT 7611 1-Feb-1994 07:50p B8234F62 README.WRI 9728 1-Feb-1994 01:00a DD85AE87 ===== Installation ===================================== If your package included OWSETUP.EXE on the disk, simply run this program from within Windows and follow the instructions. If you have downloaded PRICE.ZIP (from CompuServe) or PRICE_10.ZIP from another BBS, or have otherwise acquired WinPrice without the accompanying OWSETUP.EXE installation program, simply unzip (using PKUNZIP.EXE or similar de-archiving utility) the .ZIP file into its own directory. Then, from Windows' FileManager, drag the file WINPRI10.EXE onto the open Program Manager group in which you wish the utility to reside. Windows will automatically install WinPrice in this group and the WinPrice icon will appear in this group. To use WinPrice, simply double-click its icon. On line help is available should you have any difficulties in using WinPrice. ===== Warranty ========================================= A registered user of any Open Windows program is entitled to a full refund of their registration fee if they are not satisfied with the program they have registered. Send a letter to Open Windows requesting a refund (we'd like to hear why, but that's not a requirement) and stating that you will discontinue all use of the program upon receipt of your refund. It's as simple as that - no questions asked. ===== License for Use and Distribution ================= WinPrice 1.0 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 give them the original PRICE_10.ZIP (or PRICE.ZIP if obtained originally from CompuServe) file so that they will have all of the necessary support files. 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 continue to use WinPrice 1.0 after the 30-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of $9.95 plus $3.00 S&H to Open Windows. The 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 installed on multiple computers, 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 WinPrice 1.0 must register and pay for their copies of WinPrice 1.0 within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Open Windows. ===== Compressed Data Record Follows =================== PK A_`# VENDDATA.t()   97) %)  4  . n  . .
