- SHAREWARE - "USER SUPPORTED" SOFTWARE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Shareware, sometimes called "user supported" software, is a distribution
- method, not a type of software. It is "try before you buy" software.
- The essence of user supported software is to provide computer users with
- quality software without high prices, and yet provide incentive for
- programmers to continue to develop new products.
-
- Copyright laws apply to shareware and commercial software alike.
- Shareware authors, however, grant you limited rights to copy and
- distribute the software. These rights vary with different authors and
- programs, but serve to give you and others a chance to try the software
- before buying it.
-
- The shareware concept depends on the support of its users. After a
- specified trial period, if you decide to keep using a shareware program,
- you are expected to send in the requested payment to register with the
- author. These funds reward the authors for their valuable work, and
- fuels their future endeavors - support, new programs, new and better
- features. With shareware, you get the ultimate money-back guarantee -
- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

- ALLY AS SHAREWARE
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Wasco Technical Software has made a version of ALLY available as
- shareware. After you acquire the ALLY shareware, you may take up to 21
- days to evaluate it, free. The shareware version of ALLY displays a
- registration reminder screen, describing the allowed evaluation period
- and registration requirement. ALLY shareware is complete and fully
- functional - it is not crippled in any way.
-
- You must send payment to license ALLY in order to use it beyond the
- shareware evaluation period. Site-license arrangements are available.
- Registered users receive the retail version of ALLY, product support,
- new product notices, and upgrade discounts. The retail version of ALLY
- is serialized and does not display a shareware screen. For pricing,
- print the accompanying file REGISTER.DOC file or contact Wasco Technical
- Software for an order form.
-
- ALLY shareware may be copied and passed around, but only in its
- complete, original, and unaltered form with all disk-based documentation
- intact. Feel free to share ALLY shareware with your friends and
- associates, and encourage them to register their copy if they find that
- they can use it. You may not bundle ALLY shareware as part of a system,
- service or sale without permission from Wasco Technical Software.
- Serialized retail versions of ALLY may not be distributed. If you would
- like a copy of the shareware version to share with others, please call
- or write.
-
-
-
-
- Anyone other than ASP vendor members who wish to distribute ALLY
- shareware for any kind of remuneration must first contact Wasco
- Technical Software for authorization. Vendor members of the Association
- of Shareware Professionals may begin distributing ALLY shareware
- immediately, but should advise us if they wish to be kept up-to-date
- with the latest version.
-
- You can always find the latest shareware distribution of ALLY in the
- CompuServe AutoCAD forum (!GO ACAD), library 8 or 9. Registered ALLY
- users who wish to join Compuserve can sign up for a FREE Compuserve
- Intropak with $15.00 usage credit.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- SUPPORT
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Registered ALLY users receive support for a minimum of three months from
- the date of registration. Contact us by voice mail, fax, regular mail,
- or electronic mail via Compuserve (we check Compuserve mail on a regular
- basis). We are interested in hearing suggestions from anyone who has
- tried ALLY. We value your suggestions and try to implement as many as
- we can.
-
- If you have encountered a problem, please try to give us enough
- information to verify or duplicate it. Explain in detail the keystrokes
- executed and what you perceive the problem to be. It is important to
- describe your hardware, AutoCAD version, and any TSR programs or other
- AutoLISP programs you may have loaded. We attempt to find and remedy
- any ALLY software problems, but cannot promise compatibility with all
- hardware or software environments.
