- | WHAT IS SHAREWARE? |
- +----------------------------+
- Welcome to the Shareware revolution. This remarkable method of
- software distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and
- Andrew Fluegelman. It has become a major force in the computer
- industry, helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy
- protection schemes.
-
- You are encouraged to copy the PC-File Shareware diskette(s) and
- share them freely with others. You have the luxury of trying out the
- complete programs, at your own pace and in the comfort of your own
- home or workplace. This is not a disabled or demo copy, but the
- complete fully-functional working version of the program.
-
- After you have used PC-File for a reasonable evaluation period (not
- to exceed 60 days) you must either stop using it or buy a licensed
- copy from ButtonWare or from an authorized dealer.
-
- Why pay at all?
- * You receive the most current copy of the program
- * Bound printed manuals (over 650 pages with screen shots)
- * The option of purchasing pre-defined applications
- * Notification of updates and new products
- * Inexpensive updates (typically 1/3 the retail price)
- * Periodic special price offers (for our registered users only)
- * Your input and ideas help shape future products
- * A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly participated
- in the Shareware revolution
- * The satisfaction of helping to keep software prices down, by
- supporting a distribution method which doesn't depend on
- expensive advertising campaigns
-
- At ButtonWare, we are committed to the continued development of
- useful, friendly (easy to use), inexpensive software. Your payment is
- very important. It helps to fund the creation of new software
- programs and encourages the Shareware approach to software
- distribution. In essence, your payment is a vote for this program and
- for this method of software sales.
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Jim Button
- Founder and president.
