This software is not free! I invite you to try it out and see for yourself if
this is the package you would like to use. If you copy this software to let
someone else try it out, then the copy must be complete without any additives
or changes, on quality diskettes. If you decide to make this package part of
your software library collection then you must, out of all good conscience,
register your purchase at the reasonable price of $27.95 + $3.00 for shipping
and handling. Payment must be by check or money order only. With registration
you will receive a package with a manual and the latest version released with
an independent copy of LCOPY.EXE so that your large files can be transported
to a computer without the BatchMaker Plus system. Support will be given for
six months, from the date of registration. I wish you all success. To receive
an unregistered copy of BatchMaker Plus (two diskettes 5 1/4) form me send

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
While others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the
software to an updated program with a printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
above. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!)
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER -AGREEMENT
Users of BatchMaker Plus must accept this disclaimer of warranty: BatchMaker
Plus is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and
of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages,
direct or consequential, which may result from the use of BatchMaker Plus.
BatchMaker Plus is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do
not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-
supported " software is to provide personal computer users with quality"
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find
that you are using BatchMaker Plus and continue to use BatchMaker Plus after
a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of $27.95 +
$3.00 for shipping and handling to Northland Multisoft. The $27.95 + $3.00 for
shipping and handling registration fee will license one copy for use on any
one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book.
An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may
be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of BatchMaker Plus must register and pay for their copies of
BatchMaker Plus within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Northland Multisoft.
Anyone distributing BatchMaker Plus for any kind of compensation must first
contact Northland Multisoft at the address above for authorization. This
authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
(ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering BatchMaker Plus immediately (However Northland
Multisoft must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date
with the latest version of BatchMaker Plus).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of BatchMaker Plus along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest
version of the BatchMaker Plus system.
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 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

===========================
You can print this file from the BatchMaker Editor with the Print
function. Also see the FEATURES.DOC file.
Install BatchMaker Plus Ver. 2.44
=================================
You must install BatchMaker Plus on a hard drive before running
this package. To setup BatchMaker Plus place disk #1 in the drive
and type SETUP and press enter.
EXAMPLE A:SETUP
System Requirements
===================
IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible
384K memory or greater
MS or PC DOS 3.0 or higher
Hard disk drive
CGA card or better
If you are using the 4.0 DOS Shell and chose to install the shell then you
must rerun the DOS Select program and choose not to install the shell in order
to use BatchMaker Plus. BatchMaker Plus does not attempt to dominate your
computer but let's you control your system. You will still have the option
of running the 4.0 DOS Shell.
Example of an AUTOEXEC.BAT file
===============================
This is a batch file that automatically executes when the computer
is turned on. If you wish to have the batch menu to execute when
the computer is booted up then make this AUTOEXEC.BAT file and
save it to the Root directory.
CLS Clear the screen.
PATH C:\; Set search path.
MOUSE.COM Load the mouse driver.
CHDIR\BATCH Change the directory to \BATCH.
BATCH.EXE Start the program BATCH.EXE.

Making batch files are simpler than you may think. Using three DOS commands in
your batch file will run most of your programs. The other programs that may
need an environment of there own, such as the SET or PATH commands, should
give you that environment ether in the manual, in a README.DOC file, or during
the setup procedure. When using the Batch Menu and after you leave a program
with it's own environment that environment will be canceled and will not
interfere with other programs. After you end a program you will need to
restart the batch menu from the DOS prompt by typing B and pressing ENTER. By
adding \B as the last line in your batch files most programs will not clear
the command and will run the Batch Menu after the program has ended.
BatchMaker editor
=================
BatchMaker Plus is a tool to help organize and to make use of the hard
disk more accessible and less time consuming. Batch files are used to
perform of a sequence of DOS commands that you write to a file with an
extension of .BAT so that you only have to type the commands once.
If SETUP has been run then the root directory will have a directory
called BATCH with the BatchMaker Plus disk copied to it.

subdirectories. The Tree will read the subdirectories again if you
have shelled out, made or removed a directory, or changed drives.
Large copy has been added so that you can copy a file larger than
the disk capacity of one diskette. Lcopy will copy the file to as
many diskettes as needed. The diskettes must first be preformated.

ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby
given permission to distribute the BatchMaker Plus 2.44 system
under the Disk-of-the-Month style of distribution.
Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure
that you have the most current version of the software.
You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your
inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may
be shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks. This version was released
in June, 1991!
CD-ROM and Other Collections:
-----------------------------
If you wish to add BatchMaker Plus to a CD-ROM or other
collection, please check the release date of the version you
have. If the version is over six (6) months old then please
contact us to ensure that you have the most current version.
This version was released in June, 1991.
ASP Vendor Members who wish to distribute the BatchMaker Plus
system as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set,
or a CD-ROM package) may do so provided that all the other
restrictions listed above are met.
Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the
BatchMaker Plus system as part of a collection (such as
PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission
from Northland Multisoft prior to beginning such a
distribution.
Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new
files. They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most
authors cannot afford to mail disks to hundreds (perhaps
thousands) of vendors. However, some vendors prefer to obtain
programs directly from the authors. If you would like to obtain
programs directly from us, automatically, then help us to cover
the cost.
If you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but
you would still like to receive automatic updates directly from
us, then please take advantage of our Vendor Update Program.
Under this program you can receive updates for an entire year
for only $10 per program (this helps to offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name,
company name, mailing address, the name of the person we should
contact (such as your disk librarian), the program (or programs)
for which you would like to receive updates, and a check or
money order for $10 for each program (Countries outside of North
America please add an additional $10 per program). Payment in
U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please.
The Vendor Update Program is available for the following
products (as of June, 1991):
BatchMaker Plus 2.44 . . . DOS utility/menu system
CNC-Transedit 1.01 . . . . CNC program utility/organizer
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will
automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release
while their Vendor Update Program is in effect.
NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates
and do not need to apply for the Vendor Update Program.
This is yet another advantage to being an ASP Associate
Member.
The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
expenses in those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the
program directly from us. If you have other standard ways to
obtain programs, then you may prefer not to use our Vendor
Update Program.
