REGISTRATION REMINDERS Unlicensed copies of Wilson WindowWare products are 100% fully functional. We make them this way so that you can have a real look at them, and then decide whether they fit your needs or not. Our entire business depends on your honesty. If you use it, we expect you to pay for it. We feel that if we treat you well, you will treat us well. Unlicensed copies of our products do have a registration reminder screen that appears whenever you start the program. This shouldn't really affect your evaluation of our software. We're sure that once you see the incredible quality of our software, you will dig out your credit card, pick up the phone, call the nice people at our 800 number and register the software. If you work for a large corporation, you can purchase most of our products the same way you buy your retail software. Just send the purchase request up the line. Most all the corporate software suppliers (Egghead Corporate, Software Spectrum, Corporate Software, Programmers Shop, and many others) purchase considerable volumes from us on a regular basis. When you pay for the software you like, you are voting with your pocketbook, and will encourage us to bring you more of the same kinds of products. Pay for what you like, and then, more of what you like will almost magically become available. LEGAL MATTERS Of course the usual disclaimers still apply. We are not responsible for anything at all. Nothing. Even if we are held responsible, the limit of our liability is the licensing fees you paid. The full text of our license agreement is found near the bottom of this file. HOW TO INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE Use our snazzy setup program... 1) Close down all extraneous Windows applications. (You do have to be in Windows to run SETUP.EXE) 2) Double-Click on the SETUP.EXE or use the Software install facility (if available) in Control Panel. 3) When the setup program asks for a directory, specify an initial directory, or accept the given default. 4) When the screen comes up that asks you what you want to install, do your selections, then hit the NEXT button to continue. UN-INSTALL INFORMATION This software may be uninstalled via the uninstall option in the Control Panel Add/Remove software dialog, or by running the setup.exe (or the setup32.exe) program in the installation directory. If you simply delete all the files first, you will not be able to run the uninstall program and there may still be traces of the program in various places on the system. UPDATE POLICY Wilson WindowWare frequently updates its products. There are various kinds of updates, including Major updates, Minor updates, and bug-fix updates. Minor and bug-fix updates for our shareware products are free - - subject only to our reasonable shipping and handling charges for disks. As we are not in the disk selling business, you may find that shareware vendors specializing in disk sales can easily sell disks cheaper than we can. On the other hand, we *always* have the most recent versions of our software. Our shipping and handling charges for update disks are as follows: 10.00 US and Canada for the first product. 5.00 US and Canada for each additional product. 9.50 Surcharge for shipping outside of US and Canada. If you obtain a minor or bug-fix update from Compuserve or other online service, a BBS, a shareware disk vendor or from another source, there is no charge from us (of course you will have to pay the on-line service fees, disk vendors fees, or at least pay your phone bill for downloading from a BBS). In addition, you may use a single set of disks to perform minor or bug-fix updates on any number of copies of a product. The policy and pricing for Major shareware updates vary. Depending on the nature of the upgrade, length of time since the previous major upgrade, desirability of new features added, the extent of revisions to the printed manuals (if any), work involved and possible price changes for new users, we may or may not charge fees. Update fees for major updates tend to run 20% to 40% of the cost of the product. Major updates tend to occur at intervals of 12 to 18 months. ON-LINE SUPPORT Wilson WindowWare has on-line support! Wilson WindowWare lives on the INTERNET. We maintain a World Wide Web Server and an anonymous ftp site WWW URL http://www.windowware.com FTP Site ftp.windowware.com /wwwftp/wilson/ Tech support is available at support@windowware.com Wilson WindowWare is also on Compuserve, in the WINAPA forum, in the Wilson WindowWare section (#15 currently). Downloads are available from DL15 of the WINAPA forum. Our section of the WINAPA forum is checked on a daily basis, and all questions will be responded to. Registered users may also call our BBS for the latest versions of our products. (206) 935-5198 USR HST/V.32bis V.42bis 14,400+ 8N1. Although we still allow 2400 baud connects as of September 1995, we are considering requiring at least a 9600 baud modem in the very near future - probably when we install our new 28,800 modems. Connects at 1200 baud and below are not currently permitted to log on. Portions of this product have been released as shareware. As such, our professional organization requires us to include the following statement. None of our customers has ever had to resort to the ASP Ombudsman. Association of Shareware Professionals Ombudsman Statement Wilson WindowWare, the producer of Wilson WindowWare software, is a 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 easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536 THE LEGALESE SECTION ADDRESS MANAGER Copyright ⌐ 1990-95 by Wilson WindowWare,Inc.
