PROGRAM_BRIEF

A. HOW TO GET STARTED

1. Making a Backup of SupportCalc^Ò

It is not necessary to make a backup copy of your SupportCalc^Ò diskette. Backup copies will not run correctly because of the copy protected nature of the diskette. Instead, Legal+Plus Software Group, Inc. will supply a replacement diskette or a special code allowing re-installation should replacement ever be required. SupportCalc's copy protection will not prevent or affect normal hard disk back-up procedures.

2. Why Copy Protection?

Unlike many software products like WordPerfect^Ò or Microsoft Word^Ò, SupportCalc^Ò has a very small universe of potential users, for such a sophisticated software product. This version of SupportCalc^Ò is only useful to Washington State attorneys who practice family law, yet it is a very technical product, requiring hundreds of hours to prepare. It is not subsidized by any agency or government. If SupportCalc^Ò is to continue, it is ALL users of the product who must continue to support its existence. When pirated copies of SupportCalc^Ò are made and used, legitimate users alone bear a disproportionate burden. We are dedicated to assuring that SupportCalc^Ò is easy for authorized customers to use, while assuring that pirated copies are impossible to use.

3. Installing SupportCalc^Ò on Hard Drive Systems

Follow these easy instructions to place SupportCalc^Ò 2004 on your hard drive.

(WARNING: It is necessary that you follow these directions EXACTLY. SupportCalc^Ò cannot be loaded on your computer by merely copying the diskettes directly to your hard drive. An attempt to do so may damage the diskettes contents, and/or "lock-up" your computer.)

INSTALLATION NOTES:

The CD installation requires use of a "security diskette". The security diskette is copy protected and can be used only once. Please contact us if you should ever damage your SupportCalc^Ò 2004 program or if you should need additional copies in your office. We have special discounts for multiple users. This program is to be installed on a stand alone IBM PC compatible computer only. Installation on a NETWORK requires a special version. Contact us for details. SupportCalc^Ò 2001 requires Windows 95 or higher.

B. HOW TO RUN SupportCalc^TM

The installation program will place a SupportCalc^Ò 2004 icon on your desktop. Simply double click on the icon to start SupportCalc.

You can also open SupportCalc^Ò 2004 by clicking on Start, then Programs, go to the Legal+Plus Windows program group and click on the SupportCalc^Ò 2004 icon there.

C. DISPLAY SETTINGS

SupportCalc^Ò 2004 automatically detects the screen resolution (i.e., 800 x 600) and color display capability (i.e., high color [16 bit] or 256 color) of your monitor and sets the display settings of the program accordingly. SupportCalc^Ò 2004 is optimized for an 800 x 600 screen resolution with 16 bit color display.
