>During the last four days I received several e-mails containing
>similar questions. This is a list of some "Frequently Asked
>Questions".
>
>1. Why not make a public Beta of LS_Pack for CW?
>
> -- LS_Pack for CW **is** a public beta. You only have to send an
> e-mail and you are on my list.
>
>2. For what reason are the LS_Pack files in Library 11 and on your
> WWW-Site password protected?
>
> -- I want to know who is still working with LS_Pack for CW.
> This is very important because if there were critical errors
> found I will inform the Beta tester.
>
>3. I'd like to Beta LS-Pack. How will I pay?
>
> -- The LS_Pack Beta is **FREE OF CHARGE**. Please do **NOT**
> send a check or your credit card number <g>.
>
>4. Are there versions for LS_Pack 16 and 32 bit?
>
> -- At the moment the LS_Pack toolkit is still under construction
> and is available for 16-bit only. The 32-bit version will be
> my #1 priority after the 16-bit version works solid.
>
>5. Is it possible to ship the LS_Pack 1.0 for CW DLLs to my
> customers?
>
> -- Yes, of course. After registering the full featured LS_Pack
> 1.0 for CW (not the Beta versions) with Linder Software
> Systems, distribute the DLLs royalty free AS PART OF ONE OR
> MORE END-USER APPLICATIONS WITH THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS:
>
> a.) YOU MAY NOT PROVIDE THEM AS PART OF A DEVELOPER'S
> COMPRESSION / DECOMPRESSION TOOLKIT
>
> -and-
>
> b.) YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION ABOUT THE API,
> STRUCTURES, OR RETURN CODES INHERENT IN THE LS_Pack DLLs.
>
>6. Can I create self-extracting archives (and do I have to pay
> royalties if distributing these files)?
>
> -- The Beta-1 of LS_Pack cannot create self-extracting archives
> (although the LS_SFX code is ready to run) because this will
> not be a standard version feature. Some developer do not
> need this function and why pay for something that will never
> be used? I think the LS_SFX add-on will cost US$15.
>
> -- You do not need a "Distributing License" to ship LS_SFX files.
>
>7. What are the sizes of the DLLs? The LS_Pack toolkit is not of
> interest if the decompression DLL size is over 80K !
>
> -- At the moment the decompression library is only about 25K and
> the compression library is about 30K.
>
>8. Do you make plans to upload a non-password protected demo of your
> product?
>
> -- I am thinking about publishing a LS_Pack Shell demo. Have a
> look to Library 11 within the next 10 or 12 days.
>
>9. Is it possible to use LS_Pack in combination with say Delphi?
>
> -- LS_Pack was developed for Clarion for Windows Developer.
> Because LS_Pack is written entirely in C and is distributed as
> DLL it is generally possible to use it with any language that
> can call DLLs.
