The complete text of the book you hold in your hands is provided on the CD in Adobe’s Portable
Document Format (PDF). You can read and quickly search the content of this PDF file by using
Adobe’s Acrobat Reader, also included on the CD.Shareware programs are fully functional, trial versions of copyrighted programs. If you like partic-
ular programs, register with their authors for a nominal fee and receive licenses, enhanced ver-
sions, and technical support.Freeware programs are copyrighted games, applications, and utilities that are free for personal use.
Unlike shareware, these programs do not require a fee or provide technical support.GNU software is governed by its own license, which is included inside the folder of the GNU prod-
uct. See the GNU license for more details.Trial, demo, or evaluation versions are usually limited either by time or functionality (such as
being unable to save projects). Some trial versions are very sensitive to system date changes. If you
alter your computer’s date, the programs will “time out” and no longer be functional.Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty installing or using any of the materials on the companion CD, try the follow-
ing solutions:l (^) Turn off any antivirus software that you may have running. Installers sometimes
mimic virus activity and can make your computer incorrectly believe that it is being
infected by a virus. (Be sure to turn the antivirus software back on later.)
l Close all running programs. The more programs you’re running, the less memory is
available to other programs. Installers also typically update files and programs; if you keep
other programs running, installation may not work properly.
l (^) Reference the ReadMe: Please refer to the ReadMe file located at the root of the CD-ROM
for the latest product information at the time of publication.
