- The following is an explanation of Shareware and why it is
- important to register. Please note that the EZ-WINDOWS Pulldown
- Menu System is a Shareware product and may be freely distributed.
- However, EZ-WINDOWS Volume I and future volumes are *not*
- Shareware and may only be obtained directly from the author.
- Please see REGISTER.DOC on registration information for both the
- Pulldown Menu System and other products available from StrongSoft.

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
- 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 guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of EZ-WINDOWS Pulldown Menu System (henceforth the EZ-WINDOWS
- Pulldown Menu System shall be referred to as "EZ-WINDOWS PMS") must
- accept this disclaimer of warranty:
-
- "EZ-WINDOWS PMS is supplied as is. The author disclaims
- all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without
- limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of
- fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability
- for damages, direct or consequential, which may result
- from the use of EZ-WINDOWS PMS."
-
- EZ-WINDOWS PMS 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 it and continue to use it after a 30 day trial period,
- you must make a registration payment to StrongSoft Engineering.
- The 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. Please see the REGISTER.DOC
- file for information on registeration..
-
- Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting StrongSoft.
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of EZ-WINDOWS PMS along
- to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to
- register their copy if they find that they can use it. All
- registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of
- EZ-WINDOWS PMS.
