WELCOME TO ToQuicken
***********************************************************
ToQuicken is a simple utility that converts files of
downloaded stock or mutual fund prices into a format
that Quicken is capable of importing. The whole purpose
of ToQuicken is to allow America Online, CompuServe, or
Dow Jones members to be able to use their on-line service
to obtain price information and easily update their
Quicken files.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions they
are welcomed by the author. See below for information on

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 ToQuicken(copyright 1993 by Mark Beiley) must
accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"ToQuicken 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 ToQuicken."
ToQuicken 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 ToQuicken and continue to use ToQuicken
after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $5 to Mark Beiley.
The 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 ToQuicken must register and pay for
their copies of ToQuicken within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may
be made by contacting Mark Beiley.
Anyone distributing ToQuicken for any kind of remunera-
tion must first contact Mark Beiley at the address above
for authorization.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of ToQuicken along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to reg-
ister their copy if they find that they can use it. All
registered users will receive a registered version of
ToQuicken
