What is shareware?
Shareware is a distribution system under which you are free to try out a piece of software for a period of time (usually on the order of a week or so) for evaluation purposes without obligation. If you decide that you would like to contine using the software, you are required to send a small fee (in the case of DiskTracker, $20) to the author for the continued usage of the program, or else delete the software from your system. If you choose to register, the author will, in return, give you notice of any future upgrades and free upgrades when requested (as well as his eternal gratitude (I'm not kidding!)).
You may (and I certainly encourage it) freely distribute UNREGISTERED copies of DiskTracker to friends and associates, as well as upload it to bulletin board (on-line) services and internet FTP (file transfer protocol) sites (please get my permission before distributing DiskTracker on CD-ROMs or on other collections (email TheVortex@kagi.com)). Just be sure that, if you choose to pass around copies of DiskTracker, you include all of the documentation and support files which were originally included with the program.
Note that I have not disabled features in unregistered copies of DiskTracker. I feel that it is important, as it allows you, the user, to get more acquainted with all of a programs features, and it builds a trusting relationship between you (the user) and me (the programmer). However, IN NO WAY, does this free you from your obligation to register the software. So send off those checks!
Okay, so how to I register?
In the "DiskTracker Registration" folder (the same place where you found this read me), is an application called "Register DiskTracker". When you launch this application, you are given a form which you need to fill out. You can then print out the order form (or copy it to the clipboard to email it). You then send the form to:
Kagi Shareware
1442-A Walnut Street #392-TV
Berkely, California, 94709-1405
USA
or email it to: shareware@kagi.com
You may pay using a check/money order, cash, invoice, VISA, MasterCard, or First Virtual.
Shortly after Kagi Shareware receives your payment, I will send you a registration code which will disable the annoying startup message.
