-
- A WORD ABOUT SHAREWARE: If you are new to computers you may not
- have heard the term SHAREWARE. Basically this means an author or
- group has prepared a software program which you are free to copy
- and share with others, but the author of this software requests
- a REGISTRATION FEE. This fee is also a matter of good conscience.
- The idea is that if the program is useful you evaluate it for a
- limited period (usually 30 days) and then become a legally
- registered user of the program by paying the registration fee.
- If you do not wish to register, you are expected to cease using
- the program. Shareware is an honor system. Bonus disks are other
- programs are mailed to users upon receipt of a registration fee!
-
- Registered owners can receive the LATEST COPY of PC-LEARN either
- with or without registration and two special bonus disks!
