- Shareware information as at 19 Dec 93
-
- Apteryx Lisp is a Lisp system for Microsoft Windows 3.x.
- It is copyrighted 1993 by Apteryx Lisp Ltd, a private
- company registered in New Zealand.
-
- It is being distributed as shareware. This means that users may try
- the program for at most a month on their computer before deciding to
- register as a user and pay for the right to use the program permanently
- on their computer.
-
- Currently, new versions of Apteryx Lisp are uploaded to the Compuserve
- WINSHARE forum. Shareware distributors may take a copy of the program
- and themselves distribute it as shareware, charging a normal distribution
- fee. Distributors must always make clear that the program is shareware,
- and that their distribution fee does not cover the cost of a licence to
- use the software. Individual users may also distribute copies of the
- program to their friends or other users to allow them to evaluate the
- program on a trial basis. In all cases, what must be distributed is the
- archive APTERYX.ZIP file that contains the program executable, help file
- and other documentation files.
-
- Currently the benefit that users will receive on registration is
- a certificate stating their right to use the program. If registered users
- were sent printed manuals, latest copy of the program on disk etc, this
- would more than double the required cost of registration.
-
- If this policy changes, so that for example a manual is provided but
- the payment required is higher, then users already licensed to use that
- version of the software will only need to pay the difference in order
- to receive the manual.
-
- Support is currently available via Compuserve 100241,1154.
