An evaluation/demonstation copy of A-Shell is simply one that has not been encoded for your specific situation and use. You may therefore download A-Shell and use it for demonstration and/or evaluation without doing anything special; just install it and go. The unencoded versions are about 99% functional, with the main limitation being the deliberately annoying "nag" messages you will get every time you run the software.

Although there is quite a large body of published information on A-Shell, the only manual you should need to get up and running is the A-Shell Setup Guide. You can find that document, and others, on our documents page.
