FIRST:  Please make a backup copy of this diskette!

NOTE: ProKalc is 32-bit software and is intended to be installed and
run on Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, or Windows XP.  ProKalc is not 
compatible with earlier versions of the Windows operating system.
For Windows 3.11 and earlier, obtain a copy of SuperCal, the 16-bit
version of this calculator.

This is the shareware version of ProKalc, the Scientific/Financial/
Geometry calculator.  ProKalc is a Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000,
or XP program and, therefore, you must have Microsoft Windows 95 or
later version to use it.  This package should contain the following 
files.  If it does not, you do not have the complete package and 
ProKalc may not function properly.  Before installation the shareware
version contains the following 16 files:

     SETUP.EXE     -  The installation utility.
     PROKALC._XE   -  A compressed program file.
     CALC._LP      -  A compressed help file.
     UNINPKAL._XE  -  A compressed program file.
     FILE_ID.DIZ   -  A description file for online services.
     REGSCAL.TXT   -  The registration form in NOTEPAD format.
     SITESCAL.TXT  -  The site registration form in NOTEPAD format.
     README.1ST    -  The file you are reading now.
     CALC.ICO      -  Icon file.
     CALC1.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC2.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC3.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC4.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC5.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC6.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC7.ICO     -  Icon file.

After installation the shareware version contains the following 15 files:

     SETUP.EXE     -  The installation utility.
     PROKALC.EXE   -  The ProKalc program file.
     CALC.ELP      -  The ProKalc help file.
     UNINPKAL.EXE  -  The ProKalc uninstallation utility.
     FILE_ID.DIZ   -  A description file for online services.
     REGSCAL.TXT   -  The registration form in NOTEPAD format.
     SITESCAL.TXT  -  The site registration form in NOTEPAD format.
     README.1ST    -  The file you are reading now.
     CALC.ICO      -  Icon file.
     CALC1.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC2.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC3.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC4.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC5.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC6.ICO     -  Icon file.
     CALC7.ICO     -  Icon file.

There are two ways to install ProKalc.  You can use Windows Explorer
to show the files on the distribution diskette and 'double-click' on 
the SETUP.EXE file or you can use the 'Run' menu item in the 'Start' 
menu on Windows Taskbar.  For the second option, enter the path to the
SETUP.EXE file in the dialog box in the 'Run' window.  For example, 
entering

                      A:\SETUP.EXE

would run the installation program if you were installing from the 
"A-Drive". SETUP.EXE will copy the necessary files to your hard drive
and, if you prefer, SETUP will also create the Startup group along 
with the necessary icons to run ProKalc.

ProKalc can be removed from your system by using the uninstall utility.
When you install ProKalc, the program item titled 'Uninstall ProKalc'
is automatically installed also.  By running this program item, ProKalc
can be removed from your system.  This program (filename = Uninpkal.exe)
will attempt to remove all of the program files, the folder containing
the program files, and the program group and program items placed in
the Windows menu system.

Note that if you have a previous version of ProKalc installed, you
are not required to uninstall the previous version before you install
the new version.  Simply install the new version to the same location
as the previous version.  The installation program will overwrite the
old files with the new versions of these files.  Installing over the
old version in this manner will retain your current configuration
files for use with your newly installed version.  If you choose to
uninstall the previous version, the existing configuration files will
be deleted and you will be required to reconfigure the software with
the options you desire.

Remember, ShareWare is software you can try before you buy.  You are 
entitled to evaluate ProKalc for a period of sixty days from the time
you first install it on your system.  If you try ProKalc and decide
you like it, you are asked to pay the author the registration fee of 
$16.00 + $3.00 shipping/handling. You will receive the latest version
registered in your name.  The registered version does not have the 
advertisement screens you see in the shareware version.

Thank you and Enjoy ProKalc.

                    ShowMe Software License Agreement

1. Grant of License

      a)  This ShowMe Software License Agreement ("License") permits
          the holder of an individual License to use one copy of the
          software program on any single computer, provided the soft-
          ware is in use on only one computer at any time.  If you
          have multiple Licenses for the software, then at any time
          you may have as many copies of the software in use as you
          have Licenses.  A copy of the software is in use when it is
          loaded into memory ("RAM") or when it is loaded onto a per-
          manent memory device such as a hard disk or diskette or other
          similar storage device. It is the user's responsibility to
          ascertain that the number of concurrent users of the software
          will not exceed the number of Licenses.  If a copy of the
          software is loaded onto the hard disk or other storage device
          of a computer that is assigned to one individual, then that
          individual may also use one copy of the software on a port-
          able computer or a home computer.

      b)  This ShowMe Software License Agreement ("License") permits
          the holder of an unlimited site License to use an unlimited
          number of copies of the software on an unlimited number of
          computers at one geographic site.  A geographic site is
          defined as one building or group of buildings that are situ-
          ated on a single contiguous site, said buildings and site
          being owned or leased by a single individual or business
          entity.  If a copy of the software is loaded onto the hard
          disk or other storage device of a computer that is assigned
          to an individual who's place of business or employment is
          located on a geographic site where that business or employer
          holds an unlimited site License, then that individual may also
          use one copy of the software on a portable computer or a home
          computer.

2. Restrictions

          ShowMe Software and the author stipulate that you may not rent,
          sublease, lease, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer or distri-
          bute the original copy or archival copy of the program. You
          agree not to translate, desassemble, modify, decompile, reverse
          engineer, or create derivative works based on the program or

          without notice if any provision of this agreement is breached
          by you.

          the originating party.  Under no circumstances may the purchaser
          be given the impression that he is buying the software itself.
