                             This PPE is Shareware

        You are given the opportunity to evaluate this PPE for the term
        of 30 days. At which time, you are expected to either pay for it
        or remove it entirely from your system.

        Registration provides full operation of this PPE and entitles you
        to unlimited free support and free future upgrades for the term
        of one year.

        The only crippled aspect of this PPE will be a limited search
        capability. Until this PPE is registered, you can only perform
        exact searches. If you would like to see how large amounts of
        titles are displayed, please try entering either KING,STEPHEN
        for an exact search, or some other prolific author.

Installation & What you need:

        This PPE must be placed in its own directory, and your KEYBOOK.DBF
        file MUST also reisde there.

        Two index files will be created:

                        AUT.NDX         5.6meg
                        TIT.NDX         10meg

        Be sure you have the disk space available before proceeding.

        These files are essential for the PPE to work. Also, you may
        wish to make a back-up of your DBF file at this time, just
        in case.

        This archive should contain:

                keysrch.ppe             Main PPE to install to BBS
                init.ppe                Used once to make NDX files
                keysrch.cfg             Simple 2 line CFG file
                install.doc             This file
                info.txt                Small FAQ, how to order, ect..
                register.frm            How to register this PPE


        Installation is relatively quick and very simple. You must first
        run the file INIT.PPE in order to create you .NDX files to work
        with the database. Running it from the command line is perfectly
        fine, and probably simpler:

        pcboard.exe /ppe:d:\pcb\kb\init.ppe

        You should see a screen stating:

        Main Database opened, intializing index files..

        This should take anywhere upwards of 5 minutes. (On my 486dx33).
        This is a one time deal, unless your .NDX files get corrupted
        or something like that.

        After this is completed, you should have two .NDX files in the
        PPEs directory. If not, do a DIR /s to find them and move them
        to the proper directory.

        Next, is the KEYSRCH.CFG file, it contains 2 lines:

                .10             <-- This is the decimal Mark-Up Value
                10              <-- This is the 'number' Mark-Up Value

        These two values will be used for the on the fly pricing in the
        PPE and can be changed whenever you feel like.

        !!!!!
        There IS a check in the PPE to make sure that you do not UNDER
        price a Book! If using a 10% discount and the book is only offered
        at 5%, then the PPE will offer NO discount on the item. But please
        if you find a Price discrepancy, let me know immediately!!! Every
        thing seems to work fine @10%..
        !!!!!


        After that has completed, simply install the KEYSRCH.PPE into
        your CMD.LST file, or a MNU file, whichever is appropriate
        for your system.

        There is a small online help file, and a information file informing
        users how to order. Currently they cannot order from within the
        PPE.. I had thought that the users would call KeyDATA, but upon
        further inspection of the .NFO file, I found out WE had to place
        the order.. No biggy, just didn't get to add support for ordering
        yet.
