- software at realistic prices.
-
- So what is Shareware?
-
- Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors through
- bulletin boards, on-line services, disk vendors, and by copies being
- passed among friends. It is commercial software that you are allowed to try
- before you pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back
- guarantees.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
- There is good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail
- software. The primary difference between shareware and retail software
- is that with shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it.
-
- You benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it
- meets your needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are
- able to get their products into your hands without the expenses it takes
- to launch a traditional retail software product.
-
- The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
- products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
- you use. It is the registration fees you pay which allow us to support and
- continue to develop our products. Please show your support for shareware by
- registering those programs you actually use and by passing them on to
- others. Shareware is kept alive by your support!
