1. Installation
---------------
List of supplied files:
- DEPLETER.EXE  executable file for Windows 3.1
- DEPLETER.HLP  online help
- COUNTDWN.TXT  example data for countdown mode
- DISCHRGE.TXT  example data for discharge mode

- README.TXT    this file

First the archive has to be decompressed. It is a PKZip archive. Then copy 
BWCC.DLL into your Windows system directory (usually C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\), 
but only if you do not have a newer or same version already.
The last three files are not required for operation.

2. Legal information
--------------------
This is an unregistered version of the Depleter. The only drawback in 
comparison to the registered version is a reminder screen upon program 
start. Thus usability is only slightly reduced.
This program and its accompanying documentation are Shareware. The 
Shareware principle states that you may use the product for a limited time 
or to a limited extent freely, on violation of these limits, however, 
either erase the product completely from your system or convert it into the 
registered version by paying the registration fee, then being subject to 
normal copyright rules without the limitations mentioned. In the case of 
the Depleter the limitation is that you must not use the unregistered 
version for more than 30 days. Remember: Trust is the foundation of the 
Shareware principle!
All users of the unregistered version of the Depleter are granted a limited 
license to copy the product only for the trial use by themselves or others, 
provided that the Depleter is copied in its full and unmodified form. The 
copy must include all files necessary to permit full operation of the 
program. It must also include this documentation. Use of unregistered 
copies of the Depleter by any person in connection with a business, 
corporation, educational institution, or government agency is forbidden. 
Such users must register this product. By using the unregistered version of 
the Depleter you acknowledge that you have read and understood this limited 
license and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. The registered 
version must not be distributed.
