Read Me file for EURO Converter 2.3


EURO Converter performs conversions and calculations with
any of the currency units of the Member States adopting the
Euro or other user-configurable currencies, using the
official conversion rules ("triangulation") for the
conversions between the different national currency units of
the Euro.

This program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that
the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by
contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The
ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for
members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
157-F Love Ave, Greenwood, IN 46142 USA, FAX 317-888-2195,
or send email to omb@asp-shareware.org.

2. Requirements

EURO Converter runs on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

3. Installation

Run the setup.exe program, which will guide you through the
installation. On Windows NT/2000 this operation should be
run by user Administrator.

You can do a silent installation by executing the setup.exe
program with the /s command line switch. A silent
installation performs a complete installation without any
user interaction; the program files are copied to the
default program folder:
  "C:\Program Files\MG-Software\EURO Converter 2.3"

Please note that the default program folder may vary if
you are installing on a localized version of Windows.

If you have purchased a license for a large number of
computers you can simplify the installation process by
using a batch file that performs a silent installation and
registration:
- copy the setup.exe file in a shared directory that can
  be accessed by all the computers where you want to install
  the program (for example "X:\tmp")
- create a batch file in the shared directory (for example
  "X:\tmp\install.bat") containing the following commands:
  ====== Start of "install.bat" ======
  X:
  cd \tmp
  start /w setup.exe /s
  C:
  cd "\Program Files\MG-Software\EURO Converter 2.3"
  eurocv -register "Registration Name" "Registration Key"
  ====== End of "install.bat" ======
- execute "X:\tmp\install.bat" on each computer where you
  want to install the program
