- 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.

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of Personalized Training Diary must accept this
- disclaimer of warranty:
-
- Personalized Training Diary 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
- Personalized Training Diary.
-
- The trial version of Personalized Training Diary is a
- "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for
- evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, 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 Personalized Training Diary and continue to use
- Personalized Training Diary after a reasonable trial period, you
- must make a registration payment of $49.95 to Lake fFfips
- Software. The $49.95 registration fee will license one copy for
- use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this

- software just like a book. An example is that this software may
- be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
- computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility
- of it being used at one location while it's being used at
- another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons
- at the same time.
- Commercial users of Personalized Training Diary must
- register and pay for their copies of Personalized Training Diary
- within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
- Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Lake fFfips
- Software.
- Anyone distributing Personalized Training Diary for any
- kind of remuneration must first contact Lake fFfips Software for
- authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted
- to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering to its
- guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
- begin offering Personalized Training Diary immediately.
- However, Lake fFfips Software must still be advised so that the
- distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of
- Personalized Training Diary.
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of the trial version of
- Personalized Training Diary along to your friends for
- evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they
- find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a
- copy of the latest version of PTD with registration and trial
- information removed and a professionally printed copy of the
- manual.
