README.DOC
GHSCALES is an interactive program that displays, plays and lets you
create your own scale patterns. Chord arpeggios can also be
created.
THIS IS A FULLY FUNCTIONAL UNREGISTERED SHAREWARE PROGRAM.
What is shareware?
------------------
Shareware is software like any other commercial software except you
get to try it out before sending the purchase, or "registration",
price to the author(s). If you try a Shareware product and continue
to use it past a reasonable trial period (usually two weeks), then
you are expected to pay the registration fee.
GHSCALES is a fully functional program. None of its features have
been disabled -- we want you to discover its full potential for
helping you become a better musician before sending us the
registration fee.
GHSCALES IS NOT A FREE PROGRAM, NOR IS IT A PUBLIC DOMAIN PROGRAM.
This is the ultimate money back guarantee, because if you DON'T
continue to use the software after a two week trial period, you are
under no obligation to pay the registration fee.
Your benefits for registering
-----------------------------
The registration fee for GHSCALES is $49.95 (plus
shipping/handling and appropriate sales tax) for a single user.
For that amount, you will receive:
1. GHCHORDS, a guitar chord program that works much like GHSCALES
but is specifically designed to handle chords. Not only are over
30 kinds of chords covered, each chord has several different
fretboard positions. You can also create up to 5 positions of
your own for each chord.
2. GHCULTUR, a program much like GHSCALES but covering cultural
scales from around the world.
3. A REGISTERED version of GHSCALES will be sent to you also. The
difference is that the registered version does not have the
opening and closing registration reminder screens.
4. Notification of and discounts on future program upgrades.
Your registration fee entitles use of any one or combination of
these programs by only one person at a time. Some computers allow
more than one program to run at a time. You may run all three
programs concurrently in such an environment.
Technical support
-----------------
We are available to answer your questions by CompuServe or US mail.
If legitimate bugs are found, we will release a program fix upgrade
(such as Version 1.1) and distribute program fix diskettes to
registered customers for the price of shipping and handling.
This support does not extend to program enhancements. We want to
know about your ideas for program enhancements, however, when the
program is actually enhanced it will become an upgrade rather than
a program fix (Version 2.0 for example). Registered customers will
be given notification of upgrades and discounts on them.

Copyrights and exceptions
-------------------------
Just as with commercial software, copyright laws apply to Shareware.
The copyright holder of GHSCALES, Ray A. Kampa, retains all rights,
with a few specific exceptions as outlined below:
You may copy and distribute the UNREGISTERED version of GHSCALES as
long as:
- The original files and programs are unchanged. Please make a
copy of the original GHSCALES diskette or download before your
evaluation to preserve the original state of the .SAL and .DEF
files.
- All the original files are included on the copy diskette or
upload. Please make sure this README.DOC file is included.
- You don't charge any money for the software itself. Asking for
money to cover shipping/handling and materials is permitted.
The unregistered version is clearly marked by an opening and ending
screen which appear when the program is run.
THE REGISTERED PROGRAMS CANNOT BE COPIED AND DISTRIBUTED TO ANYONE
ELSE.
THE REGISTERED PROGRAMS CANNOT BE UPLOADED TO BULLETIN BOARDS.
The Austin Vail Associates philosophy
-------------------------------------
Our software is born of imagination and raised by you, the customer.
We want to know what you think, what you want, what you need.
For example, GHSCALES was first done in a rough pilot test form
(Version 0.0) and uploaded to bulletin boards. Various people tried
it out and gave their criticisms and wish lists. Enough people
thought the program was a good idea, and so we continued its
development. From this development we came up with the ideas for
GHCHORDS and GHCULTUR.
After another round of critical tests, we present GHSCALES Version
1.0 for your evaluation.
We believe the quality of our software and our dedication to
bringing the very best music education software to market will
encourage you to register. Our confidence that you will find our
programs useful has caused us to make the unregistered version of
GHSCALES fully functional.
Other Shareware authors disable certain key functions in their
programs. In many cases this makes sense, for other cases it is
simply an irritation. We have decided to give you a fully
functional program because otherwise you might not fully realize the
program benefits. Then, to encourage registration, we offer two
other programs that work very similarly and give you even more
benefits.
