CONTACTING THE AUTHOR ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ABOUT ZOC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is V3.x of ZOC. ZOC is a allround multipurpose communication program that can be used to access BBSs through modem or ISDN, telnet hosts in the LAN or Internet and special character based services via named pipe. The program is available from many online sources (BBSs, FTP, WWW, etc.). It doubles as an evaluation version and full product, depending on if you have a software license code or not. Software license codes are available from special ZOC distributors and from mail order houses. For information about buying ZOC please check REGISTER.DOC and the order form in the Help menu. When you start ZOC without a software license code, the program will come up in evaluation mode. In this mode it is fully functional and identical to the licensed version. The only difference is that after the end of a file transfer the order form is shown. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.
