IMPORTANT NOTE:  Quitting Business Effective June 30, 2001

The demonstration version of SatSpy 4.0 is fully functional. You can try it free of charge for 30 non-consecutive days. If you like it and decide to register, I will send you a code to instantly unlock your demo copy into a fully licensed version, including the SatSpy Utilities. To download the SatSpy 4.0 demonstration, set your browser to "download to a file" and click on the links below.

• Download the SatSpy 4.03 Demonstration - (2.3 MB - Last update on 20 March, 2001)

Installation:  To install, run a utility such as WinZip to decompress the zipped files.   You can  install directly by executing Setup.exe from within WinZip.  (Winzip will decompress the installation files to a temporary folder on your hard-drive).  Alternatively,  you can unzip all of the files into a temporary folder and install from there, again by running the Setup.exe program.

• Download floppy disk images:  disk1.Zip (1,376 KByte) disk2.Zip (788 KByte) You can download these two files and then unzip each one to a spare 1.44 MByte floppy diskette for archiving.  Label the first disk "SatSpy 4.0, Disk 1" and the second disk "SatSpy 4.0, Disk 2".  If you ever lose your original download file, you can reinstall from the archived diskettes.  You must still have your registration codes to unlock the demonstration version contained in the floppy disks.  (Note:   These files are exactly the same as the ones that are delivered on floppy diskettes when you order the diskette version of SatSpy.  You can save yourself the shipping handling charges by making your own disks!)

Installation Method 1:    Unzip the contents of the two files on to separate diskettes, labeling one "SatSpy 4.03 - Disk 1", and the other "SatSpy 4.03 - Disk 2". Then insert Disk 1 into your floppy drive and run Setup.exe. When prompted, remove disk 1 and insert disk 2 and click on "Continue" to complete the installation.

Installation Method 2: Alternatively, you can unzip the contents of both zip files (disk1.zip and disk2.zip) into a single temporary folder on your hard drive and then run setup.exe from there.
