device=c:\windows\emm386.exe

Limited Run Time demo mode -


    Q87 will run for 20 minutes at a time without a valid Run Code.  Any
application that is using Q87 after 20 minutes will be shut down by
Q87.  You will hear your computer beep when this happens.  Some 
applications will generate an execution error when this happens, but
that has no effect on Windows.  Just shut down your computer at that
point, but first remove Q87 from your autoexec.bat if you don't want 
Q87 to run.  If you are running Windows 95, you also must remove Q87
from your system.ini file.



Installing your Run Code -


    Q87 will first load from your autoexec.bat file during startup.  You 
will see an information screen followed by an order form screen.  If you 
register Q87, you will receive a Run Code which you will place after Q87
in your autoexec.bat, as in -

c:\Q87\Q87 829-982-892

The number shown is an example only.  You may run Install again to install
your Run Code.
