1. ABOUT THIS VERSION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a probably the last version before V2.0 which is scheduled
for the third quarter of 1994


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. DISTRIBUTION, COPYRIGHT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

ZOC is shareware, (C) 1993, 1994 by Markus Schmidt

You may use and test this software for 30 days, then you have
to register or remove it from your system.

No warranty of any kind can be given for damage caused through
ZOC directly or indirectly or any other way.

ZOC may be distributed freely via telecommunication, shareware
dealers or as a free add on for hard- or software products in form
of an unmodified ZIP archive, or as unzipped files in an single
directory with the name ZOC and with no file added, removed or
modified.

The following restrictions apply to distribution.

* ZOC must not be used in an army environment or for purposes
that are related to military or arms production.

* ZOC must not be sold as shareware for more than $5/DM 7
(that includes shipping). If you purchased ZOC from a dealer
paying more (or get knowledge of such a dealer), notify him
of this regulation.

* ZOC must not be bundled with any Microsoft(+) product.




-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLATION/REINSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Unpacking the ZIP file:
-----------------------

If you use PKUNZIP, you need to unpack the ZIP file with the -d
option. This should create a directory structure like this.

.\ZOC\OPTIONS
.\ZOC\SCRIPT
.\ZOC\LOG
.\ZOC\UPLOAD
.\ZOC\DOWNLOAD

If you get a new version of ZOC and want to install it over
your existing one, you should not overwrite the following
files (most unpackers will prompt you for permission to
overwrite a file):

.\ZOC\PHONEBK (your phone book)
.\ZOC\OPTIONS\* (your option files)

All other files should be replaced (maybe except .\SCRIPT\XDIAL
and .\SCRIPT\QUEDIAL if you changed them manually).




-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. ZOC PRIMER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are a few things you should know about ZOC before you
begin. These things are also described in the help file, but you
might run into problems before you find them there.


Registration/Orders:
--------------------

If you need any information about ordering and registration see
Help for Registration in the help menu of ZOC.

Here's a quick summary:

As you already might know, ZOC is a shareware program. During
the beta phase I had some lively discussions about 'crippling' (how
I hate that word) shareware. Early versions of ZOC had a restriction
in the ZModem download that was removed as a result of these dis-
cussions. Now the order form is shown after download.

If you want to register, just fill out the order form and send me a
hardcopy. You find my address and prices in the helpfile.

Even in times in which the world is called a 'global village' it is
quite a bit hard to transfer money from the United States to Germany.
Methods of payment are described in the helpfile - the easiest way
to register is using the Compuserve shareware registration feature
(which, of course, requires that you have a Compuserve account).
It is also described in the helpfile.



If you have problems:
---------------------

Everything important is in the helpfile. Select 'contents' from
the help menu or press the help button in the dialog windows.

Also check the 'common problems' section before contacting me.



Starting ZOC:
-------------

ZOC needs a parameter to tell it which com port to use (check the
help file for a more detailed discussion of these parameters).
