-----------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT:
==========
Please read the enclosed licence agreement LICENCE.TXT
           BEFORE you continue!

By installing the software onto your HPC, you are consenting to be 
bound by the License Agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of 
the License Agreement, do not copy any of the files contained onto 
your HPC!

ATTENTION: 
==========
the timing accuracy of oPenStop depends on the windows timer 
and the system clock of your HPC and is therefore NOT suitable for 
any critical time measurements and may vary on different hardware 
platforms and software configurations !

Hardware notes:
===============
The programm adapts it's screenwidth automatically so it runs on
640 wide (HP 300/320 LX) as well as 480 wide screens (all other HPC manufacturers).

How to install:
===============
1) Read LICENCE.TXT
2) unzip the oPenStop xxx.exe file to a temporary directory on your PC
3) connect your HPC and start the HPC Explorer
4) copy the .exe to the HPC. We recommend that you first create a 
   new sub-directory "oPenStop" in "Program Files" and then copy the
   exe.
5) Create an (optional) Desktop short cut. To do so, select openStop.exe
   and open the "File" menu. Select "Desktop Shortcut" and voil you're
   up and ready to use oPenStop.

Enjoy !

How to uninstall:
=================

1) delete the oPenStop.exe on your HPC.


How to register:
================

The price for a registered copy is US $ 15.00.

1.You download our program, decompress the downloaded file and copy 
  the exe onto your HPC. 
2.You test our software and decide it's worth the money and want to 
  have a registered version. 
3.You therefore call the registration form and following the 
  instructions enter your name, your credit card nummer and the 
  expiration date. This data will be bitwise encrypted at random 
  locations into a textfile of random size (5-8 k max) full of random 
  characters. This file can found in your "My HPC" directory. 
4.You then attach this text file to an email addressed to 
  "reg@open-software.de". We would appreciate your full address 
  information as email contents
5.We will send you a reply mail with your personal registration id as
  fast as we can. 
6.You call the registration form a second time, enter you personal 
  registration id and from then on you are a registered user. 
  The registration notice and the reminder messages will be gone 
  forever - or at least until you reinstall the program. 

The registration id you receive is valid for all releases of the 
registered version. That is, in case of a bugfix you just have to 
replace the exe and need not reregister. 
For eventual new versions you will be able to use your registration id 
for special upgrade prices.
