- =========
- |
- | "Shareware" is a term used to describe a system for distribution
- | of software. Under the shareware concept, software may be freely
- | copied and passed along to others, or distributed through bulletin
- | board systems, etc.
- |
- | As a recipient of a shareware program, you may use the software
- | for a short trial period to determine if it meets your needs. If
- | it does, you pay the registration fee. By paying the fee, you are
- | granted the right to retain the software for your use. If the
- | software is not suitable, then you may discard it.
- |
- | The shareware system provides substantial benefits the computing
- | community (of which YOU are a member):
- |
- | 1) You get to try out the software BEFORE you buy it so you know
- | exactly what you're buying.
- |
- | 2) Shareware is substantially less expensive than most commercial
- | programs. You don't pay for costly marketing programs and
- | fancy packaging.
- |
- | 3) You get access to a MUCH broader base of available programs.
- | Thousands of excellent programs have been written by expert
- | programmers who would never consider marketing commercially.
- | Through the concept of shareware, these people make their
- | programs available to the community. Usually, all they ask in
- | return is a small fee to reward them for the time and effort
- | they've put into the program.
- |
- | The system is based entirely on the honor system, and generally
- | works quite well. (Most people are honest and wouldn't violate
- | the trust placed in them by the author of the software.)
- |
- | Shareware is NOT free software - the author counts on your integrity.
- | Please register using the form the end of this manual.
- |
- | You are encouraged to copy this software and pass it along to
- | others who may be interested in using it.
- |
- | This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
- | Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
- | principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware
- | related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly,
- | ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a
- | dispute or problem with an
- | ASP member, but does not
- | provide technical support ---------
- | for members' products. ------|-- | (tm)

- | thanks for giving it a shot. |
- | |
- | If, however, you find it beneficial and wish to continue using it, |
- | please register it by completing the bottom of this form and sending |
- | the appropriate fee. This will give you a nicely printed manual with |
- | more detailed information, an update of the program including any new |
- | features, and a clear conscience whenever you use the program. If |
