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 SQUEEZE PLAY - ENGLISH must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
SQUEEZE PLAY - ENGLISH 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 SQUEEZE PLAY - ENGLISH.
SQUEEZE PLAY - ENGLISH 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

computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to
provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If

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.

copies of SQUEEZE PLAY - ENGLISH within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
RONALD BLOCHER.
