About CI SOFTWARE Smear Screen Saver
This shareware screen saver makes your screen appear as if it is wet paint
and smears the contents continuously in different directions. A slider
bar lets you control the smearing effect. Full password protection is
provided.
Installing CI SOFTWARE Smear Screen Saver
Copy the SMEARCI.SCR file to your Windows directory (Most likely
C:\WINDOWS). From the Program Manager within Windows double click the
Main folder. Within the Main folder, double click the Control Panel icon
and then double click the Desktop icon. Open the list of names within the
Screen Saver section of the Desktop and select Smear. You can then click
the Setup button to bring up the CI SOFTWARE Smear Screen Saver Setup
screen. In the Setup screen, the smearing effect can be adjusted with the
slider bar and password protection can be enabled or disabled here by
clicking on the check box. Have fun by experimenting with different
settings of the smear effect slider bar.
The Shareware Concept
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 and the next program
upgrade.
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 programmers 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.
