- 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 DOSNIX must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "DOSNIX 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 conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of DOSNIX."
-
- DOSNIX 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 DOSNIX and continue to use
- DOSNIX after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
- istration payment of $25.00 to the author. The $25.00
- 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.
-
- Commercial users of DOSNIX must register and pay for their
- copies of DOSNIX within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
- tacting the author.
-
- Anyone distributing DOSNIX for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact the author 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
- DOSNIX immediately (However the author must still be advised
- so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
- version of DOSNIX.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of DOSNIX along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it.
-
- This version of DOSNIX is a completely usable set of utilities
- and has not been crippled. However, due to space considerations
- several utilities have been left out. When you register you will
- be mailed a copy of the enhanced version of DOSNIX which includes
- these additional utilities: CPDIR, GET, SPLIT, SGREP and WC. If
- you would like to try the enhanced version before registering you
- can download it from CompuServe or GENIE or you can order it using
- the form below. Your registration gives you the right to use future
- versions of DOSNIX and you may upgrade at any time by sending $5.00
- for shipping and handling.
-
-
- To register your copy of DOSNIX or to purchase a site license,
- fill out the form and mail it to the author at the address below:
