A NOTE ON THIS EVALUATION VERSION:

This evaluation version of WhizNotes allows you to open the given
sample folder file and compile it into a help file. You can also make 
changes in any of the sample topics to evaluate any of the authoring 
features. However, you can't delete or rename the sample topics. In 
addition to the sample topics, you can add a few of your own topics 
(about 10) to test the various help authoring features. 

Note that you can't create independent help files other than that for 
the sample folder. I hope you understand why that limitation must exist
in this evaluation version. If creating independent help files is 
permitted, there is no way to check on the misuse of the evaluation 
version.

Other than that, no help authoring features are restricted. You can 
test each and every feature described in the online help of WhizNotes. 
If you have any questions on this evaluation version, please send 
email to:
  "Sanjay Kanade" <skanade@superb.net>
 
Please refer to the file ORDER.TXT for the ordering details.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: 

WhizNotes can run on Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or later. For authoring 
Windows Help files with WhizNotes, you'll need to additionally install 
Microsoft help compiler 3.1, or later. For preparing new Windows 95
