│    This disk contains a time limited demo version of Odyssey. The demo       │
│    will allow you to explore Odyssey features and decide whether the full    │
│    package will suit your needs.                                             │
│                                                                              │
│    The limitations placed on the demo version are:-                          │
│                                                                              │
│          o Connect time is limited to 5 minutes. After that time the         │
│            program will automatically hang up the line and drop out to DOS.  │
│                                                                              │
│          o File Downloads are not stored. NOTE: You may still test file      │
│            downloads, but the created files will be zero bytes long as       │
│            the data downloaded is not saved.                                 │

│          o The Editor configuration tool and external script compiler are    │
│            not supplied.                                                     │
│                                                                              │
│          o No manual.                                                        │
│                                                                              │
│    Everything else works, including MNP5.                                    │
│                                                                              │
│    Since no manual is supplied, some basic information on how to use the     │
│    package may be useful to you. To start Odyssey, simply type "ody" at      │
│    the DOS prompt. Or if you are decompacting it using the PC cover disc     │
│    menu it will automatically run.                                           │
│                                                                              │
│    Odyssey will display a logo when it starts up, so just press a key to     │
│    get past this point.                                                      │
│                                                                              │
│    It then displays a main menu along the top line of the display with       │
│    various headings such as "File" "Setup" etc. These are associated with    │
│    pulldown menus which appear when you type ALT-<x> where <x> is the        │
│    first letter of the heading for the menu you want.                        │
│                                                                              │
│    For example to make the File menu appear simply type ALT-F. Once you      │
│    know how to do this most of the rest of the package should be largely     │
│    self explanetory, however if you get into trouble you can always type     │
│    F1 for extra help. Keep your eye on the bottom line of the display        │
│    too, as Odyssey often displays single line help messages there to jog     │
│    your memory.                                                              │
