CHINESE CHECKERS
Version 1.1
September 3, 1991
Copyright (c) 1991, ImagiSOFT, Inc.
All rights reserved.
WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
Shareware distribution gives you a chance to try Chinese Checkers
before buying it. If you try Chinese Checkers and continue to use it,
you are expected to register.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and
ImagiSOFT, Inc. retains all rights to Chinese Checkers. We
specifically grant you the right to copy and distribute this software,
under the limitations of the license agreement found below.
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!
Chinese Checkers is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to you 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 you with quality
software without high prices, and yet to give us incentive to continue
to develop new products.

DISTRIBUTING CHINESE CHECKERS
Anyone distributing Chinese Checkers for any kind of remuneration must
first contact ImagiSOFT, Inc. at the address below for authorization.
This authorization is automatically granted to distributors recognized
by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin
offering Chinese Checkers immediately; however, ImagiSOFT, Inc. must
still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with
the latest version of Chinese Checkers.
If you are going to distribute Chinese Checkers in a compressed file,
please use the name CC11.??? (.ZIP, .ARC, .LZH, etc). We would
appreciate if you would distribute our original CC11.ZIP whenever
possible so that new users can be assured that they aren't receiving a
program infected with a virus.
Please include the following files in your distribution copy:
CHINESE.EXE main program
CHINESE.TXT registration info, license agreement, etc.
CC_ORDER.TXT order form
CHINESE.WL graphics file
REGISTER.WL " "

IMPORTANT NOTE: The Chinese Checkers program checks for missing or
altered files. If either of our *.TXT files has been altered or if
one of the *.WL files is missing, the program will exit to DOS.
SHAREWARE MAGAZINE DISCOUNT
Everyone who registers Chinese Checkers will receive a coupon which
gives a $7.00 discount on a subscription to Shareware magazine. This
is another way of saying "Thank You for Supporting Shareware!"
THANK YOU!
We at ImagiSOFT, Inc. would like to thank you, our customers, for
making Chinese Checkers possible. We had a lot of fun working
together on this project. David, our chief programmer, is primarily
responsible for Chinese Checkers -- he spent six tedious months
working in assembly language developing the user interface. He spent
another four weeks developing Chinese Checkers itself. Russ spent a
week on the artwork -- we are very proud of his talent! Our quality
control people, Steve, Kathy, and Dorine, gave this program a thorough
work out before they signed off. Mike coordinated this project and
wrote the documentation.
Of course, it is the financial support of our loyal customers which
made Chinese Checkers possible. We appreciate you very much. Look
for more games and other imaginative products from ImagiSOFT soon!
