* ACRASOFT AUTOPILOT README NOTES
***************************************************************************

Welcome to Acrasoft AutoPilot 2.30

This readme file contains installation tips to help you
get setup quickly, as well as information not available in the
release help file.

Acrasoft AutoPilot lets you run custom tasks based on all kinds of triggers.
You can run a task from a hotkey, or from a popup menu. You can run tasks
on time-scheduled intervals or many other trigger types, including directory
changes, application and service starts and stops, disk space warnings.
Acrasoft AutoPilot supports many advanced control actions, including service control,
e-mails, and internet downloads. This is the ultimate task manager!



***************************************************************************
* INSTALLATION
***************************************************************************

You may note that the AutoPilot installation prompts you to install
in the C:\AutoPilot directory, instead of in C:\Program Files\AutoPilot.
This is intentional, and avoids a Microsoft issue with spaces in path names.
The space in 'Program Files' causes problems with batch files that do not
recognize it as a single path.

If you decide to install in 'Program Files', you certainly can do that,
but you may need to treat the path specially in your batch files.

***************************************************************************
* SHAREWARE AGREEMENT
***************************************************************************

The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
you use. The registration fees you pay allow authors to support and
continue to develop quality products.

As a software user, you benefit from this system because you get to try the
software and determine whether it meets your needs before you pay for it.
You should carefully read the following terms and conditions before using
this software.  Unless you have a separate written license agreement signed
by Acrasoft, your use of this software indicates your acceptance of this
license agreement and warranty.

AutoPilot is covered by copyright. When you acquire AutoPilot under this
shareware arrangement, you are actually acquiring a license to use it, not
own it. You acquire the license from Acrasoft.  Acrasoft allows purchasers
to make and distribute copies of the software, but if, after testing the
software, you adopt it for use, you must register it.

One registered copy of AutoPilot may either be used by a single person who
uses the software personally on one or more computers, or installed on a
single workstation used nonsimultaneously by multiple people, but not both.
You may access the registered version of AutoPilot through a network, provided
that you have obtained individual licenses for the software covering all
workstations that will access the software through the network.

For instance, if 8 different workstations will access AutoPilot on the network,
each workstation must have its own AutoPilot license, regardless of whether they
use AutoPilot at different times or concurrently. Modifications to the software
are not allowed.  Decompiling (i.e., reverse engineering) of the program code,
or development of new works built upon the package (derivative works) are not
allowed without expressed written permission of Acrasoft.  You can make
archival copies, but you are required to pay for all copies adopted for use.



***************************************************************************

state to state.

Neither, Acrasoft nor anyone else who has been involved in the creation,
production or delivery of this product shall be liable for any direct,

if Acrasoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
