    1. ABOUT ZOC for Windows 9X/ME/NT/2000/XP and OS/2
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is V4.x of ZOC.  ZOC is a high power terminal client for telnet,
    SSH, modem, ISDN, and more.  ZOC has a reputation of being one of
    the best telnet and SSH clients around.  Have a look at the feature 
    list and the screenshots at www.emtec.com and you will see why.

    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.TXT 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.
