    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.
