CONTENTS OF DISTRIBUTION SET
**************************************************************************
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 beyond the trial period, you must register.
Copyright laws apply to Shareware software products,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware products.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it is 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 do not use the
product, you do not pay for it.
**************************************************************************

Users of Printer Status Demo must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
Printer Status Demo is supplied as is. Gregory H. Bragg disclaims
all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
