ButtBot is charityware. This means that if you decide to keep the software you or your company have to donate USD 30 (or the equivalent in your local currency) to a charity.

ButtBot is provided to you on an "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" basis. You assume the entire risk of loss in using ButtBot. ButtBot is complex and may contain some nonconformities, defects or errors. We do not warrant that ButtBot will meet your needs or expectations, that operations of ButtBot will be error free or uninterrupted, or that all nonconformities can or will be corrected.

What is ButtBot?

ButtBot will make your life easier if you are building web applications and are using image buttons by batch generating buttons from a file. Imagine the time it would take to produce hundreds of buttons in different languages using PhotoShop. Using ButtBot you design your buttons with your ordinary graphics package, create a ButtBot settings file after which you only have to enter the text and filenames for the buttons in an Microsoft Excel Sheet. ButtBot will handle the rest.

Similar software costs hundreds of dollars. Why can I download ButtBot for free from this website?

Although ButtBot can be downloaded free of charge from this website you have to donate a minimum of US$ 30 (or the equivalent in your local currency) to a charity (preferably one of those listed below) and send an email to buttbot@spray.se so that we kan keep track of the amount of donations. Donations will also encourage us to upgrade the software with more features. You are very welcome to send suggestions to buttbot@spray.se.

Ok. I have downloaded the software. How do I use it?

ButtBot is designed to be very easy to use. There is no help file available yet but we plan on releasing one in the near future. If you encounter problems please look at the ButtBot Help Page. We have limited time to answer support-related e-mails.

Where do I send bug reports, feature suggestions, praise, encouraging emails etc?

There is only one e-mail address to remember: buttbot@spray.se.

What hardware/software do I need to run ButtBot?

The current version of ButtBot requires MS Excel 2000 to be installed on the same computer to be able to use the batch function. The current version has only been tested on Windows 2000 Professional. Future releases will support more platforms.
