- What Is Shareware?
-
- Shareware is a unique system of distribution that allows authors
- to place their products in the hands of the end user before the
- end user pays for it. This allows the user to determine if the
- software meets his or her needs.
-
- The shareware distribution system allows thousands of authors to
- bring their products to market inexpensively - saving the user
- from having to bear these costs. Implied in this is the premise
- and promise that the end user will pay the registration fee if he
- or she uses the product.
-
- The Copyright laws apply to shareware products. The author
- retains ownership even though the product may be copied.
-
- You may copy programs from "SHAREWARE SUPREME - GAMES" CDROM, but
- if you use any, please register with the authors. These payments
- encourage and sustain the continued availability of new and
- existing products.
-
- Digital Publishing Company is an approved vendor and associate
- member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP
- wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If
- you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP
- member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.
- The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
- an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members'
- products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
- Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe
