           UniQWK is  a  Off-line Mail  Reader  for QWK  package
   style. UniQWK is designed to execute under Windows 3.1. Using
   UniQWK, you can  process messages  quickly, accessing to  all
   Windows 3.1 facilities, in addition to  most commons features
   of popular DOS Mail readers.

           UniQWK 3.0 allows you  to use some of  the multimedia
   Windows 3.1 utilities in your messages.  Using UniQWK you may
   send messages with sounds  recorded by yourself or  from .WAV
   or .MID files.

           In addition  to  these features  there  are some  new
   functions:

           - automatic message selection by key words

           - message folders facilities

           - process resuming in case of eventual system crash

           - automatic  conversion  of special  characters  from
   code pages 860 and 850

           - ANSI messages and  code page 437 (US)  messages are
   also supported

           - messages  containing  ANSI commands  are  supported
   without animation

           - include internal  PKZIP/PKUNZIP functions,  so that
   UniQWK is executable under WIN/OS2

           - also  executable  under  Windows  NT,  either  with
   internal ZIP  or  with any  other  external compress  program
   (PIF) ..

           Very thanks  to all  that patiently  tested and  made
   suggestions before making it really usable.

   *** About UniQWK:

           UniQWK is not a free software.   You can test  it for
   one month. If after a trial period you decide to  use it, you
   must get a license.

           A license for the use of  UniQWK can be obtained   by
   sending a $30.00 (American dollars) registration fee.

           Regarding the Shareware  registration. There  is only
   one  reminder   box   just  to   stimulate   you  about   the
   registration. This is NOT a crippled version of the program.

           It  is  a   shareware  version,   but  it  is   fully
   operational. There are only two restrictions:  the obligatory
   use of two UniQWK advertisement taglines  and an occasionally
   box to remind you to get a license.

           The license fee  paid for UniQWK  is a one  time fee.
   The license legalizes  your use of  the program and  keep you
   free from  the boring  reminder box  and  from the  taglines.
   With registration  you  can change  the  tagline, or  use  no
   tagline. Licensed users  can use  future revisions of  UniQWK
   without an  additional fee,  and have  technical support,  if
   necessary.

           The registration  of the  3.0 version  gives you  the
   title of Hot0Line BBS user for 30 days, beginning  at the day
   of receiving your registration.

           If the registration response is good  then we'll have
   the incentive to keep improving the program. It  is very nice
   to know that some of you like what we've done,  but it's even
   better to receive some money...    Anyway, your  comments and
   suggestions are greatly appreciated.

           Public Domain  Disk  Vendors    and  distributors  of
   public domain and user supported  software  may not  charge a
   fee for UniQWK itself.  However  you may include UniQWK  on a
   diskette for which you charge a nominal distribution fee. The
   purchaser of said diskette  must be informed in  advance that
   the fee paid  to acquire the  diskette does NOT  relieve said
   purchaser from paying the Registration Fee for UniQWK.

           Operators  of  electronic   bulletin  board   systems
   (Sysops) may  post  UniQWK  for downloading  by  their  users
   without written permission  as long  as the above  conditions
   are met.  A fee may be charged for accessing the  BBS as long
   as no specific fee is charged for downloading UniQWK files.

           BBS Operators  (Sysops)  can  get a  special  (free!)
   license if they post this software for  downloading - contact
   us.



   ***  How to Install

           - This version  includes an installation  program. To
   install follow the instructions:

   - Open the .ZIP packet into any directory. EX: C:\FOO

        - Form Windows, execute the program C:\FOO\SETUP.EXE
        - Follow the instructions given by the program

   - If you want to install manually, do so:

        - Open the .ZIP packet into any directory. EX: C:\UniQWK

        - Copy  MRPACK.PIF and  MRUNPACK.PIF  into your  Windows
   directory.

        - At your first run,  UniQWK will create a  working sub-
   directory

          EX: C:\UniQWK\UNIWRK.   Keep it empty and don't use it
   for anything else, for UniQWK will erase it.

        - Run Windows, if you still are at the old DOS prompt.

        - With Program  Manager, set  UniQWK into  any group  of
   your choice

        - Run UniQWK.

        - You MUST fill configurations menus  before reading any
   .QWK packet, in order to:

          -  Set the default  directories for  upload, download,
   save files, etc.

           - Set  the replies  options,  editor, margins,  quote
   character, code page, etc.

          - Set miscellaneous options.

          - Check with PIF Editor, if the .PIF files are correct
   for  your system  and if the compress/uncompress  programs of
   your choice are correct. Check if the programs can be reached
   through default path.   For more  information,   use the Help
   Facilities.

        -  Open  any  .QWK  (or  the  sample   .QWK)  using  the
   appropriated option on FILE  menu and enjoy it.

        - UniQWK  doesn't use  .NDX files,  so  you can  disable
   index files generation (see your BBS  configuration) and save
   your time.

          We recommend that you use the  internal PKZIP/PKUNZIP.
   UniQWK supports files compressed with PKZIP 2.0,  so there is
   no sense  in using  an external  compressor,  since this  ZIP
   format is supported by all BBS's



   *** Upgrading from version 2.1

       If you are  upgrading from version  2.1 you only  need to
   replace old files UNIQWK.EXE, UNIQWK.HLP by the new ones.


   *** Upgrading from version 2.0

       If you are upgrading from  version 2.0, you only  need to
   replace old files UNIQWK.EXE, UNIQWK.HLP and  BCWTERM.FON  by
   the new ones.


   *** Upgrading from version 1.X

       In this case  the easiest procedure  is to  reinstall the
   program by the way described above.



   ***  Atention -  If you are a licensed user:

       In this version, the  registration keys were  changed and
   you will your new  key by letter.  If you don't  receive your
   letter, contact us, your registration is still valid.
