ECHO
ECHO NATIONAL SOFTWARE LABS is dedicated to bringing you the best public domain
ECHO and Shareware programs available. A great deal of time and effort goes into
ECHO the acquisition, selection and testing of programs. Our goal is to offer you
ECHO the best and newest programs in each category.
ECHO
ECHO The fee we charge for distributing the programs in the NSL Library covers the
ECHO cost of our efforts. The program authors do not receive any part of that fee.
ECHO
ECHO SHAREWARE is software which is provided to you to "try before you buy." It is
ECHO not free software. Shareware authors request registration fees from those who
ECHO try their programs and decide they will continue to use the programs. Because
ECHO shareware authors do not have to pay the high cost of advertising, the fees
ECHO they charge for registration are modest compared to the prices you would pay
ECHO for comparable programs marketed commercially. Shareware is a real bargain.
ECHO
ECHO Shareware authors deserve to be compensated for the hard work they put into
ECHO the programs you benefit from. In many cases your registration fee provides you
ECHO with extras like printed manuals, telephone support, update service, etc. In
ECHO addition, only your support can maintain the Shareware concept as a viable
ECHO alternative to paying high prices for commercial software.
