- If you are a registered user of a previous version of GFile, you are entitled
- to use version 2.2A without additional registration fees or requirements.
-
-
- License Information
- ===================
- The user of this program, by the action of using the program, agrees to
- the license and warranty terms below.
-
- GFile is NOT public domain software, nor is it free. It is a
- commercial software product, distributed using the 'Shareware'
- concept. Under this concept, you are allowed to use GFile for
- a period of 30 days to determine if it is useful to you. After
- this initial trial period, if you wish to continue to use GFile,
- you must register it by sending $20 US (cash, check, or money order)
- to:
- Galen J. Bunnell
- P.O. Box 295
- West Warren, MA (,USA) 01092-0295
-
- Registrations are not transferable. Registration confers the right of an
- individual to use GFile on any computer system.
- Businesses/organizations/institutions, please see the special note below.
-
- Please be sure to enclose your name and mailing address on a separate
- sheet. Do NOT count on the return address on the envelope being readable.
- For your convenience, I've included a form at the end of this file which you
- may print and use for registration.
-
- Upon receipt of your registration, you will be sent a letter confirming
- your registration and a diskette containing the current version of GFile,
- identical to the shareware version. You will also receive notification
- of future revisions/updates of GFile as they become available and information
- about how to obtain the latest version. Finally, you will be entitled to
- GFile product support as described below.
-
- Registration does not constitute ownership of GFile or any associated files.
-
-
- 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 the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Rd., Muskegon, MI USA, or
- send a Compuserve message via CIS MAIL to ASP Ombudsman 72050,1433.

- Support
- =======
- Registered users of GFile are entitled to product support for the lifetime of
- the product - that is, so long as the product is distributed by the author -
- or for 1 year from registration, whichever is greater.
- The primary support mechanism for GFile is via mail. All problems will be
- acknowledged, and solutions/workarounds provided when possible. If a problem
- cannot be resolved, you are entitled to receive, at your request, a full
- refund of the registration fee. Questions concerning configuration, use,
- or customization are welcome and will be answered.
- Alternatively, limited phone support is available - but not guaranteed. When
- I'm not on the road (my 'daytime job' requires extensive travel), I can
- usually be reached between 7 and 11 pm (EST/EDT or GMT-5/GMT-6), Mon-Fri;
- and 9am - 11 pm Sat-Sun at (413)436-9279. This is a private (versus business)
- line, so please ask for me by name. If I'm not available, indicate that the
- call concerns GFile, and Sally (my dear wife), will tell you when I'll be
- available. Please note that I cannot return or accept charges for long
- distance calls.
-
-
- Limited Warranty
- =================
- Although all efforts are made to insure proper operation of this program,
- I cannot guarantee it will perform correctly on all systems under all
- possible configurations. Therefore, before using GFile (or any new program),
- back up your system completely and perform rigorous testing before relying
- on GFile for critical operations. The author is not responsible for any
- damage, loss, or problems caused directly or indirectly from the use of
- GFile or any associated files. The liability of the author for the program
- not operating as desired or expected shall be limited to the registration
- fee paid for use of the program.
-
-
- Special Registration Note for Businesses/Organizations/Institutions
- ===================================================================
- Rather than register GFile for individuals, you may wish/need to register
- based on the number of users of GFile. To do so:
-
- Determine the number of people within your organization that
- will be running GFile concurrently.
- ============
- Submit registration fees for the determined number of users.
-
- Note that registration is based on usage - not the number of copies
- of GFile. In particular, if 10 (for example) users share a single
- networked copy of GFile, the correct registration fee is 10 * $20 or
- $200 - the same as if there were individual copies of GFile on each
- system. However, also note that if 5 of the individuals worked days
- and the other 5 nights, and there were never more than 5 instances
- of GFile running at once, the correct registration fee would be
- 5 * $20 or $100.
-
- Be sure to identify a single person, title, or office to which any
- technical correspondence should be directed.
-
-
- Submitting bug reports/suggestions for improvement
- ==================================================
- All users of GFile are encouraged to submit bug (program trouble) reports.
- Registered users will receive responses, and corrections or workarounds as
- described in the support section above.
-
- Please provide as detailed a description of the error as possible. If the
- error is consistently reproduceable, please describe the steps needed to
- reproduce the error. Include as detailed a description of the hardware and
- software that make up the system as possible, including a listing of system
- files (config.sys, autoexec.bat, win.ini, system.ini). Any information that
- will help me reproduce the problem will result in quicker correction. If I
- cannot reproduce the problem, any suggestions I make to resolve it will be
- 'stabs in the dark'.
-
- Suggestions for improving GFile are always welcome. However, the order in
- which they are implemented is:
- 1. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
- 2. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
- 3. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
- 4. Suggestions from beta testers
- 5. Chief Programmer's (my) ideas
- 6. Suggestions from unregistered sources
-
- If you deduce from this that registering is a good way to influence the
- future direction of GFile - You're correct. If you suspect that the Chief
- Programmer always has more ideas than time to implement them, and that
- suggestions received only from unregistered sources are rarely implemented -
- You're correct again.
-
- Please submit bug reports or suggestions for improvement to the same address
- as listed for registration. Thank you.
