- 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 required to
- register it (or purchase the licensed version as in the case of
- Paint Shop Pro).
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail
- 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 retail or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
- can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower
- also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.
-
-
- ASP Ombudsman Policy
-
- 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 Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a
- CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536

- Before you can use Paint Shop Pro you have to run the Paint Shop Pro
- setup program from Windows so it will work properly on your computer.
- You cannot just copy the files from the Paint Shop Pro disk to your hard
- disk. The files on the distribution disk are packed in a special way to
- save space. The setup program unpacks those files and builds them on
- your working disk.
-
- 1. Start Windows.

- Manager's File Menu.

- will be requested to insert the next disk.

- icons to the program manager.
