- WHAT IS 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 DAMENU must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "DAMENU 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 DAMENU."
-
- DAMENU 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 DAMENU and continue to use DAMENU after a reasonable
- trial period, you must make a registration payment of $15.00 to Just-In-Time
- Computing Services. The $15.00 registration fee will license one copy for
- use on any one computer at any one time.
-
- Commercial users of DAMENU must register and pay for their copies of DAMENU
- within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License
- arrangements may be made by contacting Just-In-Time Computing Services.
-
- VENDOR INFORMATION
-
- Anyone distributing DAMENU for any kind of remuneration must first contact
- Just-In-Time Computing Services at the address below for authorization. This
- authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
- (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
- distributors may begin offering DAMENU immediately (However Just-In-Time
- Computing Services must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
- up-to-date with the latest version of DAMENU.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of DAMENU along to your friends for
- evaluation, as long as the DAMENU system is complete and unmodified.
- Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
- they can use it. All registered users will receive upgrade information and
- notification of the latest version of the DAMENU system.

- ASP OMBUDSMAN
-
- 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. Please write
- to:
- ASP Ombudsman
- 545 Grover Road
- Muskegon, MI 49442
-
- or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
-
- Thanks.
