- REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
-
- Simple version...
-
- Before reading all details, note that a single-user registration
- costs only $15 and includes includes 2 years of free updates,
- exclusive of shipping and handling. I believe this is an
- exceptional bargain, but it only works because of your honesty.
- See/print the file REGISTER.FRM for the registration form.
-
- Simple registration...
-
- If you are a Compuserve member then GO SWREG and enter registration
- ID #1558. By this method, the fee is $15+S&H.
-
- Definition of Shareware. . .
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
- buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you
- are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details --
- some request registration while others require it, some specify a
- maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the
- simple right to continue using the software to an updated program
- with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
- the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of
- comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad
- ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
- author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
- software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For
- example, some authors require written permission before a commercial
- disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether
- it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting
- your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because
- the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate
- money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay
- for it.
-
- File Finder/Grouper" (FFG) Disclaimer - Agreement. . .
-
- Users of FFG must accept this disclaimer of warranty: FFG is
- supplied as-is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
- implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
- merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes
- no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result
- from the use of FFG.
-
- FFG is a copyrighted Shareware program by Thomas G. Vavoso,
- President, EnGamma. The evaluation version of FFG is offered at no
- charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
- with your friends and associates, but please do not give it away
- altered or as part of another system. The essence of
- "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
- quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive
- for programmers to continue to develop new products.
-
- If you find this program useful and find that you are using FFG
- after a 60-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of
- $15. Checks may be made payable to "Thomas G. Vavoso". If you
- include the shipping/processing fee (see below), you will be sent a
- registered copy of the latest version of FFG when available. You are
- entitled to have as many copies of it as you wish (for example, one
- on each computer you use at home and work, plus one for your
- briefcase for troubleshooting someone else's system), with the
- understanding that these are for YOUR personal use and demonstration
- to others. Please recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY relaxed
- condition on copying and usage than some authors specify. It is
- done for YOUR convenience.
-
- Registration also entitles you to an automatic license extention to
- all subsequent releases of the DOS command line version of FFG
- during the two-years immediately following your registration.
- That's right--the $15 fee includes a two-year "maintenance" plan
- that entitles you to the latest release of the product upon request.
- The only cost you incur for updates within the two year period is
- for any shipping/handling distribution costs, which should be
- minimal if done electronically. Registration also entitles you to
- user support by mail. See the file REGISTER.FRM for the
- registration form.
-
- Prospective commercial users of FFG may contact the author to
- arrange for site and/or network licenses.
-
- Distributors and BBS sysops recognized by the Association of
- Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors may begin offering FFG in their catalogs/BBS
- services immediately. Other distributors whose only remuneration is
- a nominal fee for the disk itself, and whose literature makes it
- clear to their buyers that the program material must be separately
- purchased from the author, may also offer FFG immediately, but
- should inform me so that I can provide them periodic updates.
- Distributors who wish to sell FFG packaged as, or in, a retail
- product must contact me, and are not authorized to distribute this
- version of FFG.
