- │ A word about user supported software: │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
- The user supported software concept (usually referred to as
- shareware) is an attempt to provide software at low cost. The
- cost of offering a new product by conventional means is
- staggering, and hence dissuades many independent authors and
- small companies from developing and promoting their ideas. User
- supported software is an attempt to develop a new marketing
- channel, where products can be introduced at low cost.
-
- If user supported software works, then everyone will benefit.
- The user will benefit by receiving quality products at low cost,
- and by being able to "test drive" software thoroughly before
- purchasing it. The author benefits by being able to enter the
- commercial software arena without first needing large sources of
- venture capital.
-
- But it can only work with your support. We're not just talking
- about BREEZE here, but about all user supported software. If
- you find that you are still using a program after a couple of
- weeks, then pretty obviously it is worth something to you, and
- you should send in a contribution.
-
-
-
- * Note: The mail merge and graphical print preview facilities
- are not enabled in the unregistered version of the program
- in order to fit Breeze on a single distribution disk. However,
- all the essential features are fully operational.
