This version assumes installation to a hard drive. Contact the author for a special "floppy drive only" version for users lacking a hard drive. PC-LEARN is a training system which includes chapters on buying and using a computer, an entertaining history of computers, DOS lessons, hard disk drives and tech tips. It also includes information on word processing, a suggested reading list, software selection, computer clubs, batch files, spreadsheets, databases, and even a glossary! PC-LEARN runs on all IBM compatible PC's. PC-LEARN has been selected a recommended beginner's choice by 21 computer clubs and has been featured in two national computer magazines. PC-LEARN is shareware. Please make copies and share with your friends. Program runs on ALL systems and does NOT require color or special graphics. A hard drive is required for this version. Registration information is contained in the file BONUS.TUT within the main unpacked program. Submitting a requested $25 registration fee to the author of PC- LEARN brings two VALUABLE bonus disks by mail which every computer user or beginner should obtain to learn about and use a computer to its full potential. The bonus disks are designed to minimize computer frustration and add to the power of PC-LEARN. You will be delighted you paid the small registration fee with the gain in time, energy and understanding the bonus disks will provide. Over 9,000 people have registered PC-LEARN in the past three years! If you or your company would like to design a special training or production software program which looks and operates like PC- LEARN (high speed menus, ease of use, search features, printing, etc.), but contains your unique company data or tutorials, contact the author of this program. Your company name, address, logo or other information can be added. A word about shareware and the TWO VALUABLE BONUS DISKS you can order by mail! If you are new to computers you may not have heard the term SHAREWARE. PC-LEARN is shareware. This means a software programmer has prepared a software program which you are free to copy and share with others, the author encourages you to use and EVALUATE the program for up to 30 days subject to your possible payment of a final registration fee to continue full and legal use of the program. Submitting an honest registration fee on an honor system means the author of PC-LEARN will provide two additional valuable bonus disks, shipped by mail to you plus any updates to PC-LEARN. If you received a copy of PC-LEARN with your new computer, you are essentially EVALUATING this program subject to your final purchase. You may print a registration form on your printer by selecting the "print registration form" option from the main menu. If you received this disk from a shareware distributor who charged $3 or $4 for a sample copy disk, you have only paid a distribution/handling fee for an evaluation disk of which NO PORTION goes to the author of the software. You are expected to pay for the program if you continue to use it or discontinue your use of the program if you do not pay for it. Registered owners receive by mail: 1) Two BONUS DISKS every new computer owner should obtain. The bonus disks are highly valuable extensions to the PC-LEARN computer tutorial system and are shipped directly to you. 2) Latest version/update of PC-LEARN if later version available. 3) Registration number and legal authorization to continue using the program. The author of PC-LEARN can create a CUSTOMIZED COVER SCREEN with your store address and LOGO. Remember that since PC-LEARN will be copied by many people, your advertisement will be copied with it! PC-LEARN is thus both a tutorial and a marketing tool! Customized logos and cover screens are also available for computer clubs and are a wonderful way to boost membership and make new members feel good about your club's "personalized" copy of PC-LEARN. Many computer stores, bookstores and small convenience stores distribute PC-LEARN automatically with every computer they sell or offer it for sale in our special retail packages. If you wish to sell PC-LEARN at your store location or offer customized copies with computers you sell to the public, contact the author of this package. Ideal retail locations include computer stores, stores with magazine racks, book stores, convenience stores, electronics stores, small printing or Xerox copy shops, college bookstores, retirement facilities, and of course software stores. If you would like to reprint sections of PC-LEARN in your newsletter, community newspaper, BBS or other printed resource, please contact the author at the address and telephone number above for special (very liberal!) arrangements. лллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллл INSTALLATION AND UNPACKING OF THIS PROGRAM лллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллллл The main PC-LEARN package is stored in compressed files produced by the software program LHARC written by Haruyasu Yoshizaki.
