<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">Most dialog windows have a little question mark ('?') in the upper right-hand corner.&nbsp; If you click on that, then click on a button or checkbox in the same window, you will get a short description of what that button does.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">The "About..." item on the Help menu brings up the CiderPress "About Box".&nbsp; This shows the version you're using, what versions of DLLs were loaded, and to whom your copy is registered.&nbsp; If the product has not been registered, it shows how many days are left in the 30-day evaluation period.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">"DLL" is an acronym for Dynamic Loadable Library.&nbsp; That's a fancy way of saying that it's a part of the program that is stored in a separate file, which means it can be shared among multiple copies of the same program or multiple different programs.&nbsp; The DLLs used by CiderPress are:</FONT></P>

<LI><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">NufxLib.&nbsp; All of the code for accessing NuFX (ShrinkIt) archives is here.&nbsp; This is an open-source library developed by the author of CiderPress.&nbsp; It's also used by the NuLib2 command-line utility.</FONT>

<LI><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">wnaspi32, a/k/a "the ASPI layer".&nbsp; Unlike the previous DLLs, this one is only loaded when necessary.&nbsp; For CiderPress, it's only necessary under Win98/ME, so Win2K/XP users won't ever see this loaded.</FONT></UL>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">The first three DLLs are distributed with CiderPress, and are updated whenever you download a new version of CiderPress.&nbsp; The ASPI DLL is part of the operating system, and may be replaced when you install CD recording software.&nbsp; (If you want to use a specific version of wnaspi32.dll, copy it into the CiderPress installation directory, usually C:\Program Files\faddenSoft\CiderPress\.)</FONT></P>
