  <p><img src="quickstartguide_files/thout_logo.gif"  /> Thout 
    (pronounced "th-out") was the ancient Egyptian God of Knowledge 
    symbolized by the Ibis. OSoft's Thout logo depicts an ibis with chaos and 
    confusion of binary information on one side and logic, order, and knowledge 
    on the other.

<p class="note"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Note: </font>We are actively seeking 
  authors and developers who would like to publish their content on OSoft.com 
  via the ThoutReader<sup><font size="2">TM</font></sup>. </strong>Many potential 
  authors would like to share their knowledge but describe the difficulty in attaining 
  publishers for their work. Often the market is too small to justify the time 
  and expense of producing a traditional book.</p>
<p><strong>Key benefits of submitting work to OSoft.com: </strong></p>
<ul>
  <li>Publish your content now! With our conversion scripts, we can have your 
    content up in a matter of days. </li>
  <li>You set the selling price for your work and earn significantly higher royalties 
    than through a traditional publisher. For example, if you wrote a small "How 
    To" pamphlet that you believe would help others; you might sell it for 
    as little as $5.00. We will also post it for free. We recommend, however, 
    that you charge a small fee so that you may donate some or all of your proceeds 
    to the open source foundation of your choice. </li>
  <li>Keep your copyrights with our "author friendly" agreement. </li>

<h2>Removing Packages</h2>

<p>Removing a package from the ThoutReader&#8482; <strong>does not delete the

  library. To remove a package from the ThoutReader&#8482; library:</p>

<div class="sect2">
<h2>Reader Registration Key<a name="reader_registration" id="reader_registration"></a></h2>

<p>The ThoutReader&#8482; has the ability to read encrypted commercial packages. 
  The encryption is based on the <b>user</b>, not the hardware the package is 
  installed on. This means that you can install your content on any number of 
  platforms/computers you own and use without restriction. Simply <a href="redownloading/#redownloading"><strong>re-download</strong></a> 
  the content and install your Reader Registration Key into your other machines. 
  Encryption is entirely contained within the package itself and is designed to 
  be minimally invasive. You only need to install the registration key once per 
  machine. After that, you can download additional commercial content from that 
  provider without any further action. There are no ongoing log-ins, passwords, 
  or other requirements.</p>
<p class="note"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Note:</font></strong> The ThoutReader&#8482; 
  Key is only required if you purchase commercial, encrypted content. No action 
  is required for the download and use of free content.</p>
<p class="note"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Note</font></strong><font color="#ff0000">:</font> 
  If you receive the following error message, it means that the Reader Registration 
  Key is not installed for that package.</p>
<p><img src="quickstartguide_files/error_regkey.jpg"  /></p>
<p>To add your ThoutReader&#8482; key, do the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Log in to your OSoft User Account</li>
  <li>Select Download Reader Registration Key and download your key to your computer 
    desktop</li>
  <li>Open the ThoutReader</li>
  <li>Select <strong>File</strong>...<strong>Add Key</strong>...Navigate to your 
    OSOFT.KEY file...Install the key</li>
  <li>You will receive a confirmation that the key was successfully installed.</li>
  <li>You can delete the key file on your desktop.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#160;<img src="quickstartguide_files/file_add_key.gif"  /></p>
<p class="note"><strong><font color="#ff0000">Note:</font></strong> You can store multiple 
  Reader Registration Keys into the ThoutReader&#8482;. For example, each publisher 
  that distributes content directly will generate their own User Registration 
  Key. You need only install that key one time. </p>

<p>OSoft has made it easy to copy "clean" versions of code. To the upper

  you click on the icon, an OSoft ThoutReader Code Window opens up with the content

<div class="sect3">
<h3>How Public Notes Work</h3>
 
Public notes are hosted and maintained in a MySQL database on OSoft's web server. 
The notes may be downloaded directly into the ThoutReader&#8482; and read offline. 
Submitting a public note requires the user to be logged in to his/her OSoft user 
account. This reduces spam and maintains the quality of the submissions. It also 
allows contributors to edit/delete their submissions from their OSoft user account. 
Because of the quantity of notes expected, public notes will be maintained by 
the community following established <a href="http://www.osoft.com/store/infocenter/policies.php%3Fsection%3D5">posting 
guidelines</a>.
