Shareware Information
-----------------------------------------------------------
U-Convert-It 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 U-Convert-It and continue to use U-Convert-It
after a 30 day trial period, you must make a registration
payment of $15 to Fred Block. The $15 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 U-Convert-It
must register and pay for their copies of U-Convert-It
within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Fred
Block.
*** For ordering information, see the ORDER.TXT file. ***
Please remember that if you use this software you
are required to pay the registration fee of $15.00 as
