- You Probably Didn't Pay For This Software, But It Really Isn't Free.
-
-
- DIRECTOR is being marketed as Shareware. A Shareware program
- can be downloaded from numerous bulletin boards around the
- country. It may also come on a disk with other Shareware
- programs, the disk usually being sold for under $5.00. The
- philosophy behind Shareware is simple. Good quality software can
- be obtained for free, or practically so, for you to try out. You
- are free to copy the programs and pass them on to friends. They
- also can use the program and see if it meets their needs. If
- only after trying out the product any of you decide you like the
- program and find yourselves using it regularly, you are required
- to register with the author and pay the usually low registration
- fee.
-
- Because Shareware authors don't have to pay the high costs of
- advertising and distribution, they can provide you with high
- quality software at very reasonable prices. However, Shareware
- will only exist if you register for the programs you are using.
- Major software companies are constantly announcing release dates
- of new products and then later pushing forward those release
- dates by many months. The reason for these delays is that good
- software takes a long time to develop and debug. The same is
- true for good Shareware. The DIRECTOR programs, DL.EXE, DB.EXE
- and DM.EXE, took a long time to develop and I am constantly trying
- to make them run faster and add new features. It is only through
- your support that I'll be able to continue to do this. The
- registration price for DL and DB are 30.00. When you register,
- you will be sent the latest versions and a complete manual on
- disk. For $ 5.00 more you can also get a printed copy of the
- manual. I am also available by phone or on Compuserve, where my
- ID # is 71320,1277, to answer any questions or receive any
- suggestions for future releases.
-
- DIRECTOR is constantly being improved. I've already written a
- viewer for WordPerfect files. I will also be working on viewers
- for dBase and Microsoft Word. If you register, you will get these
- additions plus other improvements, plus unlimited support by
- phone, letter or CompuServe. The registered version will also not
- have a trailer on it telling you to register.
-
-
- You have 30 days to evaluate DIRECTOR and and see if you like
- it. If, after that you continue to use it, you are required to
- register.
