- WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
-
- Shareware distribution gives you a chance to try Chinese Checkers
- before buying it. If you try Chinese Checkers and continue to use it,

- ImagiSOFT, Inc. retains all rights to Chinese Checkers. We

-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
- find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's
- commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs
- easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead
- is low, prices are low also. SHAREWARE HAS THE ULTIMATE MONEY-BACK

-
- Chinese Checkers is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
- to you 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

- software without high prices, and yet to give us incentive to continue
- to develop new products.

-
- THANK YOU!
-
- We at ImagiSOFT, Inc. would like to thank you, our customers, for
- making Chinese Checkers possible. We had a lot of fun working
- together on this project. David, our chief programmer, is primarily
- responsible for Chinese Checkers -- he spent six tedious months
- working in assembly language developing the user interface. He spent
- another four weeks developing Chinese Checkers itself. Russ spent a
- week on the artwork -- we are very proud of his talent! Our quality
- control people, Steve, Kathy, and Dorine, gave this program a thorough
- work out before they signed off. Mike coordinated this project and
- wrote the documentation.
-
- Of course, it is the financial support of our loyal customers which
- made Chinese Checkers possible. We appreciate you very much. Look
- for more games and other imaginative products from ImagiSOFT soon!
