1. DEMO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION

This Cudgel® demonstration package is available online from Elan/ GreenLight,
<https://keganlaw.com/KeganLaw-Elan/GreenLight.html>
<https://keganlaw.com/KeganLaw-Elan/GL_Downloads.html>.

Windows users can also download, and read much of the documentation. However, to run the Cudgel application requires a Macintosh operating system.

Before installing new software, it is prudent to check your hardware and software with a utility program, such as Apple’s Disk Utility Also ensure you have a good backup on separate media.

CudgelDemo is distributed with several icons (files):
MINIMAL INSTALL

Download the files to your computer's hard disk icon. If you already have Helix 7.0.4 installed on your computer, you may delete the Helix demonstration icons. (If you do not delete the Helix demo icons and double-click Cudgel, either your full Helix or the demo Helix program may launch.)

Cudgel@Demo is limited to about 60 records in many critical relations and is time limited; after 30 days from first installation it may intermittently behave erratically. Helix Engine (Demo) is limited and automatically quits after 60 minutes of use—you may restart; the full Helix applications, Helix RADE and Helix Engine, are not so limited.

The full Cudgel® product does not have these demonstration limits; usage is limited only by your hard drive and the generous Helix specifications. 

Follow the Helix instructions to install Helix. If you have a fully licensed Helix product, you may need to enter your enablement key when you initially launch Helix; if you are using Helix Engine (Demo) you do not need to enter the a demo enablement key. After Helix is launched, open CudgelDemo704.

* Double-click Helix Engine (or Helix if you have the fully licensed Helix or Helix RADE).
* Choose CudgelDemo704
* Choose Demo when asked to Select a User
* Under the Demo menu, choose Welcome to Cudgel®.  

Standalone, single users will use Helix Engine. Multiuser versions can use Helix Server and Helix Client; Cudgel remains operable as a single user system when the Cudgel collection is not being used by multiuser Helix.

After successful installation, store the original GreenLight distribution files in a secure place. Remember that computers are physical objects subject to error; frequently backup your data on separate media; routinely run your Helix collections through the Helix Utility.

3. CUDGEL IS A POWERFUL, FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE, NOT A GAME.

Cudgel with CalendarEye and Client Portrait is not a game, it does not do anything by itself; it does not have an automatic demonstration. Cudgel is a powerful, structured, flexible data environment in which you can place much of the data you encounter and from which you can readily retrieve that data, automatically create intelligent short letters, and gain control over your cases, calendar, and client marketing.

The more you read the Cudgel and Helix manuals, the more you can do, and do more easily. Or just explore with the menus and demo panels; it's only software and sample fictional data.

CudgelDemo ships with two sample cases and a few sample actors, dates, matters, and the like. Sample actors include Michael Heinlein Smith of Groking Endeavors, Robin Clark Kent, Daniel Webster II, Otto Schmink, Adolph Entropy, Magistrate Solomon; the two sample cases are Alpha Centori v Zed Co and Alpha Centuri v Havoc Enterprises.

WARNING. The data that ship with Cudgel may be fictitious and/or out of date. Do not rely on any of the data (from address, phone number to case holding or citation) initially included; it is provided only as a tutorial within Cudgel.

The Welcome to Cudgel®Demo view presents five ways to explore Cudgel. First, Cudgel Topview shows fifty features grouped in five categories: CalendarEye, Client Portrait, Cudgel, Cadence, and Help. We suggest you interact with Cudgel, simulate getting a new client and case, and adding some of your own data. 

Second CaseBook shows common reports for a case—CaseBooklet shows Case Actors, Billings, Cites & Lines, Dates Marker, Exhibits, Papers, and VTabs; CaseBook opens 25 views.

Third, the Warning and Icon Symbols view displays fifty common icons keyed to upcoming deadlines, client issues, statutes of limitations, and data posting.

Fourth, the Online User Manual describes Cudgel operation in 26 chapters. 

Fifth, you can explore the Cudgel Start (textual description) and Setup Panels (29 icon-guided steps to set up your Own Firm, Actors, Work, Customize, and Files & Cases.

The Demo User is provided for demonstration versions of Cudgel. Choose Starter user and then Demo User's menus expand to most of the commands of the fully licensed Cudgel program, but with severely restricted access privileges. The Demo User often cannot print, and cannot import or export. Demo user may delete records only from some views. In addition, the Demo User is limited to about 30 records of data per several key relations; thereafter the demo misbehaves erratically. The Demo User is also limited in time; beyond the given time limit, the demo misbehaves erratically. Because of some use protection in the demo, it may perform slightly slower than regular Cudgel. The Demo User can print the Feedback form for GreenLight, and can print an order form to purchase Cudgel (the Yes! command under the Demo menu).

DemoFixer, under the Demo menu of Demo user, presents menu choices that customize Cudgel for your firm: form letter scripts, abbreviation, interest rates, cast tabs, quotes, matter statuses, treaties, firm organizational units, venues, deadline rules, zones, customized help hints, proof standards, and commands to make powerful changes.

Cudgel helps you work your way, with your clients, cases, and matters. You can start productively using Cudgel with only a few clients, matters, and scripts. As you continue to transfer your firm's data into Cudgel you'll gain the fast, flexible, friendly power of a relational database and the efficiency of Cudgel.  «

5. YOUR CUDGEL® DEMO LICENSE

READ THIS, it is your license to use Cudgel®.

Elan Associates (Elan) grants you a non-exclusive license to use GreenLight Software's (Greenlight) CudgelDemo (including Cudgel® with CalendarEye®, Client Portrait®, and Cadence®) (the Software) according to the following terms. 

If you do not agree to these terms, you must stop your use of Cudgel and related documentation. 

Please advise Elan of your experience with GreenLight software, at elan@keganlaw.com.

• Demo Version. CudgelDemo users may explore Cudgel® with CalendarEye®, Client Portrait®, and Cadence® to determine whether they wish to purchase Cudgel and may install the CudgelDemo version on their computers. CudgelDemo users may not reverse engineer or otherwise illegally simulate the organization, structure, or function of GreenLight software. Moreover, Cudgel was granted a patent, and is protected by copyright and trademark law. This agreement does not grant you any ownership right in or to the Software's intellectual property.

• Fully Licensed Version. A full license to use this GreenLight product may be obtained from Elan. The standard initial license permits five concurrent users with a single server, using Helix-licensed Helix Server with five Helix-licensed Helix Clients, permits alternative use with Helix Express (RADE- Rapid Application Development Environment) in Full or Custom mode, or use with Helix Engine, and permits remote use on a laptop computer by one of the licensed concurrent users.

• Copies & Transfers. You may physically transfer the Software from one computer to another provided that the number of licensed concurrent users is not exceeded, all users are members of your licensed organization, and Elan/GreenLight's proprietary notices remain prominent. You may not physically or electronically distribute copies of the non-demo software to others not covered by your license. Licenses for additional concurrent users are readily available; contact Elan Associates for license arrangements. Elan's license is personal to you and may not be transferred without prior written authorization from Elan.

• Open Architecture Cudgel. Cudgel is open architecture software; licensed users may see and modify the Cudgel source code, which is programmed in Helix language. However, you are solely responsible for the software once you make any changes to it. The underlying Helix software is not open source and is licensed by QSA Toolworks, not by Elan.

• Separate, Remote Use. A separate litigation Cudgel collection may be created for remote optimized use at trial. Simply make another working file from your Cudgel (with data) or from the GreenLight distribution disk (which will lack the previously entered data), calling it for example "CudgelDWebster". If you enter new data at trial and you want to integrate the new data with the firm centralized data, the new remote data will have to be synchronized with the firm centralized data— see your firm Administrator, who should be well versed in Helix and Cudgel. You may create a separate, remote Cudgel version, provided that you only use one remote Cudgel at a time. If you need to use two separate Cudgel collections at the same time, contact GreenLight for an appropriate license. 

• Warranty. GreenLight 30-day guarantees its products to perform as it describes; if you encounter an unsolved problem simply send us within thirty (30) days of your purchase of the Software license a written description of the problem with your certified statement that you have destroyed all copies of the Software and your purchase price will be refunded. You might want to try GreenLight help beforehand; a perceived unsolved problem may have a usable solution.

• DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. EXCEPT AS SPCIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS LICENSE, ELAN/GREENLIGHT MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING THEIR QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ELAN/GREENLIGHT BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF ELAN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES OF THIS LICENSE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

• Term. This license is effective until terminated. Elan has the right to terminate your license immediately if you fail to comply with any term of this agreement. Upon termination you must stop your use of the Software and destroy all copies of the Software and related documentation in your custody or control.

• Problems. This agreement is made under Illinois law, excluding its conflict of laws provisions. Should there be an unresolved dispute, the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts in Chicago Illinois USA. Please be practical— if you have a problem with Cudgel, let Elan know as soon as feasible. If you have a problem with Helix, let QSA Toolworks know as soon as feasible.

• Government Restricted Rights. This Software, including its documentation, is provided with RESTRICTED RIGHTS. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions of subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause of 38 CFR 52.277-7013. Contractor/manufacturer is Elan Associates, 79 W Monroe St #1320, Chicago IL 60603-4969, 312=782-6496.

• Miscellaneous. You acknowledge that you have read this agreement, understand it, and that it is the complete and exclusive statement of your agreement with Elan which supersedes any prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between Elan and you relating to the subject matter of this agreement. These license terms are subject to change; especially if you are reading this long after the initial distribution of a generally distributed, demonstration version of the Software.
