I CHING EMPOWER TOOL ver. 1.5 Copyright 1995 Roger Norton & David Miller


OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT:

This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle
works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem
with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to
help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.



IMPORTANT TO USERS OF VERSION 1.0:

Because of the addition of new databases and the new printout design,
the file size of saved readings has changed with version 1.5.  This
means that readings saved with version 1.0 will not be compatible.  You
will need to either make hard copies of readings you wish to save, or
else install version 1.5 in a directory other than the default Empower
directory, to avoid the overwriting of the previous Readings Log.


INSTALLATION:

The I CHING EMPOWER TOOL is compressed in a zip file and will need
to be decompressed before installation.  After decompression, from the
File menu in Program Manager, choose Run, and run a:\setup or b:\setup.

If you receive an error message asking you to close any other Visual
Basic applications running, be sure to shut down any Startup group
programs and even screen savers that might have been written in Visual
Basic.

ATTENTION NEW HEWLITT-PACKARD OR PACKARD BELL OWNERS:  PC's by
these manufacturers feature a reminder screen that states you haven't
backed up software bundled with your new machine.  This small
reminder program is written in Visual Basic, and needs to be closed
during installation.  On the reminder screen, press "Don't remind me
anymore" and the program will close.  Once you have closed these
programs,  I Ching's setup will continue peacefully.  This is a quirk of
Microsoft's Setup Wizard, not of the program you're installing.

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE:

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are asked to register.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality.  The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.


The I CHING EMPOWER TOOL 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 do not give it away altered or as
part of another system.  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 find that you are using this Empower Tool and continue
to use this Empower Tool after a reasonable trial period, you will
need to make a registration payment of $30 to Roger Norton Consulting.
The $30 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 moved from one computer
location to another, 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 the I CHING EMPOWER TOOL must register and pay
for their copies within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn.

Anyone distributing the I CHING EMPOWER TOOL for any kind of
remuneration is asked to notify Roger Norton Consulting at P.O. Box 363,
Newton, IL 62448-0363.  A sample copy and/or catalog is requested.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of the I CHING EMPOWER TOOL along to
your friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.  All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of the I CHING EMPOWER TOOL
system.

Thank you for trying this Empower Tool.  Contact us anytime.
