    ------------------------------------------------------------------
      filename      size (bytes)   description
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
      00readme           8,550     this file

      register.doc      12,373     registration information
      sample.txt         1,130     sample text for a test drive
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

   If you find any file other than the 12 listed above, any file
   missing or having different size, then you know this is not the
   official shareware distribution by Nemosoft Technologies.

   In order to be able to run jspell (and dictman) in any directory,
   either add C:\JSPELL to your PATH or put two batch files
   jspell.bat and dictman.bat into one of your directories in PATH.
   The content of the batch files jspell.bat and dictman.bat should
   look like

   @echo off
   C:\JSPELL\jspell.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 %10 %11 %12 %13

   and

   @echo off
   C:\JSPELL\dictman.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

   respectively.

   The default configuration of jspell is set to VGA and AT-keyboard.
   Also we assume that you work under the plain-vanilla DOS
   environment. If your computer's configuration and/or environment
   is different from this, then you will need to read (Section I.4)
   of the documentation file manual.doc.

   If you are going to run jspell under a networked environment,
   then please read (Appendix A.) of manual.doc to complete the
   installation.

   In order to print out the documentation file manual.doc, your
   printer must be able to handle the IBM graphic characters
   correctly.
