SoundTrans

SoundTrans Readme (EPOC Version) --------------------------------- Version v1.07 Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Installation and User Guide 3. Registration 4, Other Programs from RMR Software 5, Legal Documentation INTRODUCTION SoundTrans is a sound format translation tool for Psion5 and other EPOC machines. The tool can directly play and convert between a number of sound file formats, including EPOC sound files and Wave files, as commonly used on PC. A command line version is also available for PCs, running under Windows. SoundTrans is supplied subject to the License Agreement below. You will be asked as to whether you agree with the contents of this file during installation. You may prefer to print it out first. Note that by installing the application you are accepting the terms of the agreement. Do not install the application if you do not wish to accept the terms of the licence. SoundTrans is produced by Treesoft but is distributed solely by RMR Software. Other programs available from RMR Software are listed below. INSTALLATION AND USER GUIDE SoundTrans itself is installed by installing the "SoundTrans.sis" file via the "Install New Program" option of PsiWin 2.1 - just opening the file normally invokes this. Alternatively you can transfer it to the a Psion and use the "Add/remove" control panel that is normally installed as part of the Message Suite installation - these tools can be downloaded separately from http://www.psion.com/downloads/epoc32 if required. A second module, TreesoftSupport will also be created. Normally this is invisible, but you may get a dialogue that you have a later version installed and asking whether to continue. This should only come about if you have installed other software by Treesoft, and you should not install an old version or that software might cease to work. Installation will create a folder \System\Apps\SoundTrans that contains the program files - TreesoftSupport.dll and TreesoftActivedll will be installed in C:\System\Libs. SndTransRec.rdl will be installed in \System\Recs. These take about 175K of file space. A folder "C:\Documents\SoundTrans Doc" will be created that holds a copy of this file and related documentation. Note that these documentation files can be removed if space is tight – their absense will not prevent SoundTrans from working. Once installed you can find out more about SoundTrans by opening it from Extras, then running the Help command under the Tools menu. In particular you might like to look at the tutorial page. In uninstall SoundTrans, use the Add/Remove control panel. This will remove the program files, which includes the documentation files from C:\Documents. It will not remove any data files created using SoundTrans. REGISTRATION SoundTrans can be freely used for an evaluation period of up to 28 days. After that, you must register your copy to continue using it. The cost is £12 (US$20 / 40DM / 20 Euros).

(iv) Subject to clause (i) above, the Licensee may not permit other individuals to use the Software and shall not divulge the registration key to any third party whatsoever. Breach of this term entitles the Licensor to claim damages against the Licensee and to take all steps to terminate or prevent use of the Software by the Licensee.

Title This Software is protected by English copyright law and international treaty provisions. Except where stated otherwise, all title, copyright, ownership, rights and other proprietary rights, in and to this Software shall remain with the Licensor. The Licensee acknowledges that no title, copyright, ownership rights or other proprietary rights to this Software shall be vested in the Licensee, and that title, ownership, rights and other intellectual property rights will remain the exclusive property of the Licensor. 3. Duration Save as provided in Paragraph 13, this Agreement entitles the Licensee to evaluate the Software free of charge for 28 days from the date of installation of the Software by the Licensee ("the Evaluation Period").

Registration Fee If, before the expiration of the Evaluation Period of a Registerable version of this Software, the Licensee decides that it wishes to use the Software after the Evaluation Period, the Licensee shall pay a registration fee to the Licensor or the Licensor's appointed agent, of the amount specified from time to time on the Treesoft website. Currently the EPOC version of SoundTrans is priced at US$20, or equivalent, and the sole appointed agent is RMR Software. Upon receipt of the Registration Fee, the Licensor or the Licensor's appointed agent shall send to the Licensee a registration key to unlock the Software which the Licensee agrees may only be used on one computer. 5. No Warranty Save as provided for in Paragraph 13, the Licensor warrants to the original Licensee and then only in cases where the Licensee has pain a Registration Fee that the Software when used properly will provide the functions and facilities and will perform substantially as described in the manual supplied for the Software. The Licensor's obligation and the Licensee's exclusive remedy under this Warranty is limited either: (i) to the Licensor at its own expense using all reasonable endeavours to rectify any non-conformance with the warranty by repair (by way of a patch workaround correction or otherwise) within a reasonable period of time or at the Licensor's option replacement of the Software in whole or in part; or (ii) to a refund of the License paid if, in the Licensor's reasonable opinion, it is unable to rectify such non-conformance within a reasonable time scale or at an economic cost upon which the License shall terminate. 6. Exclusion of Other Warranties The Licensor does not warrant that the Licensee's use of the Software will be uninterrupted or the operation of the Software will be error free or secure. It is the Licensee's responsibility to ensure that the Software is suitable for its needs and the entire risk as to the performance of the Software is assumed by the Licensee. In the light of the various environments in which the Software may be used, the Licensor hereby disclaims all other warranties, conditions or representations with respect to the Software, statutory or otherwise, either express or implied, including, but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose (save as may not lawfully excluded by any relevant applicable law including but without limitation the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), and non-infringement of third party rights. 7. Limitation of Liability In the light of the fact that no software is completely bug free, and for the Evaluation Period the Software is supplied free of charge, the Licensor shall not be liable, (save as provided at Paragraph 5 above) whether in tort, contract or any other legal basis whatsoever to the Licensee or any other person for any loss or damage arising by virtue of the Licensee's use of the Software, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any direct, special, incidental or consequential damage of any nature including without limitation damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, loss of profits, loss of contracts, loss of or corruption of data, computer function or malfunction, loss of business or any other damage or loss whatsoever even if the Licensor shall have been informed of the possibility of such loss or damage save that the Licensor accepts liability to the extent that such liability cannot lawfully be excluded, for example, pursuant to Section 2 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. 8.

In such a case, the Licensee's obligation not to use the Software after the Evaluation Period in accordance with Paragraph 3 or this Agreement, shall remain valid and enforceable and the Licensor shall be entitled to take such steps as are necessary to prevent the Licensor from using the Software and to claim damages for any unauthorised use. 9. Governing Law This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales without regard to conflicts of law provisions and the Licensor and the Licensee hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales. All disputes arising from this Agreement shall be submitted to the English High Court. 10. Entire Agreement This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Licensee and the Licensor with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications or agreements. This Agreement may not be varied except in writing signed by the Licensor and the Licensee. The use of the licence is expressly made conditional on the consent of the Licensee to the terms set out herein. 11. Severability If any part of this Agreement is found by a Court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable then such part will be severed from the remainder of this Agreement which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 12. TreesoftSupport Module This paragraph applies only to installations on Psion Series5 and other EPOC machines. The software makes use of a shared software module, TreesoftSupport ("TreesoftSupport"). TreesoftSupport is automatically installed as part of the Software's installation, unless a later version of TreesoftSupport is already installed on the system in question. In that case, "TreesoftSupport" means that later version. TreesoftSupport is an integral part of the Software, use of which is permitted pursuant to this Agreement and all terms of this Agreement shall apply to it. Not withstanding the forgoing, the Licensor agrees that: (i) The Licensee may use TreesoftSupport with other Treesoft products that require its use in respect of which the Licensee has entered into a valid licence agreement with the Licensor ("Other Treesoft Products"). (ii) Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, or upon the Licensee uninstalling the Software, which ever occurs sooner, the Licensee may continue to use and not uninstall TreesoftSupport, providing the Licensee requires TreesoftSupport for use with Other Treesoft Products. Nothing in the above shall permit the Licensee to use TreesoftSupport with any programs not supplied by the Licensor. Where the Licensee continues to use TreesoftSupport after termination of this Agreement or uninstallation of the Software, the terms of the licence agreement applicable to the Other Treesoft Products shall apply to the use of TreesoftSupport. 13. Beta Software Where this Software is denoted Beta, special exclusions and conditions apply, as described below. Where this Software is denoted a Successor to a Registerable version ("the Parent Version"), then the registration conditions of the Parent Version apply equally to this Software: on expiry of the Evaluation Period of this Software or the Parent Version, whichever is sooner, the Licensee must register the Parent Version in order to continue to use this Software too. However, even if the Parent Version has been registered, the warranty of Paragraph 5 does not apply to this Software, reflecting the fact that it is test software. Alternatively if this Software has a defined Expiry Date, then both the Evaluation Period as described in Paragraph 3 and Registration as described in Paragraph 4 do not apply. Instead users are allowed to evaluate the Software free of charge until the Expiry Date on which this Agreement will terminate, save for as provided at Paragraph 12. The warranty of Paragraph 5 does not apply to this Software.
