> > Frontier 5: Windows

> > Welcome to Frontier 5.1.5 Trial version for Windows!

> > You may only use the Trial version to evaluate Frontier. If you start doing work in it you must purchase one of the licenses from our price list.

> > Trial version limits

> > Trial version object databases are limited to seven megabytes. When a file grows beyond this size the Trial version will refuse to open it. This is enough space to do a real site, but as it grows you'll depend on the site management capabilities of Frontier, and then it's time to license the full software.

> > The Trial version is limited to three threads, so you can evaluate Frontier as a server, but to deploy, you'll need to get a license for the full software.

> > The Trial version does not support the use of guest databases.

> > The Trial version expires on 6/1/99.

> > Getting started

> > The Frontier folder contains several items:

> > - Frontier.exe

> >   This is the Frontier application. Just double-click to run it.

> >   The first time you run Frontier it will ask for your serial number. If you've licensed Frontier, enter your serial number. If you have the trial version, type "trial" (without the quotes).

> > - Frontier.root

> >   This is Frontier's object database. When Frontier launches, the Frontier.root will be opened automatically. It's best to keep the Frontier.root in the same folder as Frontier.exe.

> > - Website Tutorial

> >   This website gets you up-and-running with Frontier website management. It's a hands-on tutorial which includes an index at the back so you can use it for later reference. Start with the page called "default.html" -- or jump right to it.

> > - Extras folder

> >   This folder contains two important things:

> >   Frontier and the Active Desktop

> >   If you've installed the Active Desktop on your computer, even if you've turned off its features, a small change in your Internet Explorer options will help it work better with Frontier.

> >   Installing the Psapi DLL

> >   Windows NT users should read this note about installing the Psapi.dll, a piece of NT system software Frontier requires but not every NT user has.

> > Where to go from here

> > While you are evaluating the Trial version, check the public Frontier 5 home page for news from UserLand and other Frontier developers.

> > There is also extensive documentation available for free download on the public site.

> > ODBC Folder

> > The Windows ODBC extension is developed and supported by the Tallent Communications Group. This extension allows you to connect to ODBC-compliant databases. It's optional: see the Read Me for more information, including information on getting support.

> > Support

> > Trial version users will not have access to UserLand's private support services for Frontier licensees. This is one of the benefits of becoming a licensee.

> > See the Frontier 5 site's list of independently-run Frontier-related mailing lists.
