I do not declare this software to be fit for any particular purpose,in any way shape or form. This software was produced for educational purposes only. In plain english this means don't blame me for any trouble you get yourself into by using this software. Thankyou for taking the time to try PE. Please freely distribute this package amoungst your friends (or enemies) This Shareware version of PE.EXE is limited to 8 character messages and only 10 runs of the program before automatically exiting. Please bear in mind that this software was produced originally to be used in connection with a communications test set external mod in port, although I have used it connected to a PM150 PMR radio set with excellent results. If you intend to connect your com port to a radio set be sure you know what you are doing, it is too easy to damage your com port and/or radio set. The diagram below is the barest minimum of connection that you could get away with. I would suggest a buffer of some sort between the computer and the radio/test set. i.e. MAX232 ic. The POCSAG data output.

If you don't understand basic transistor switching circuits, then find someone who does. I do not believe that computer software should carry a price tag any greater than œ50.00 and if the software companies and writers were to have a similar belief then they would sell more software and get far less of it ripped off. (jumps down off soapbox). This software has a price tag of œ20.00 . What you get for your money is a version of the program that has all of the functions working correctly. Also I will supply any further updates of the software at œ2.00 a go. Updates will depend on the amount of interest. To register send œ20.00 to :- Mr C.L.P.Cooper 14 Trenham Drive Warlingham SURREY CR6 9RU Requesting a copy of PE.EXE . Please report any bugs/problems and or ideas for improvement either by Email to - clive@seelect.demon.co.uk or by post to the above address. I have attempted to make the software as user friendly as possible, everthing available is listed on the bottom line of the main screen. **********-----------***********
