+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Welcome to the Shareware revolution. This remarkable method of |
| software distribution was co-pioneered in 1982 by Jim Button and |
| Andrew Fluegelman. It has become a major force in the software |
| industry, helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy |
| protection schemes. |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
HERE'S HOW SHAREWARE WORKS:
You are encouraged to copy the diskettes and share them freely with
others. You have the luxury of trying out the complete programs, at your
own pace and in the comfort of your own home or workplace. This is not a
crippled or "demo" copy, but the complete working version of the program.
After you have used the program for a reasonable evaluation period you
must either discontinue use of the program or purchase a licensed copy
from Charles Huntley or from an authorized dealer.
Why pay at all?
--------------------------------------------------------------
* You receive a CURRENT copy of the program.
* One year of technical support.
* Notification of updates and new versions.
* Notification of new products.
* Periodic special price offers (for our registered users only).
* Your input and ideas help shape future products.
* A sense of pride and ownership, by having honestly
participated in the Shareware revolution.
* You help to keep software prices down, by supporting a
distribution method which doesn't depend on expensive advertising
campaigns.
So please dive in and enjoy the fun of legally sharing good software
with your friends and associates. But also be aware of the following
restrictions, designed to protect the community of Shareware users and to
prevent others from taking unfair advantage of the trust, hard work, and
good will of Shareware authors. Exceptions to these conditions must be
received in writing from Charles Huntley.
1. Disk vendors (those who sell Shareware disks for a profit) must follow
the procedure outlined.
2. Vendors may not charge more than $3 per diskette.
3. The files and programs on the disks may not be modified or deleted.
4. The programs cannot be sold as part of some other more inclusive
package.
5. The programs cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
6. In the case of distribution via any telecommunications link
the following must be done:
All programs (and documentation files) must be transferred
in a library or archive format. This means that all the files on
each disk must be combined into one file - one file for each
disk. This is sometimes called Zip or Zoo or Arc.
7. If you're copying the disks for distribution to students in a classroom,
you must provide them with the following written notice:
+----------------------------------------------------+
| These diskettes are distributed to you through the |
| courtesy of (your school or instructor name) and |
| C. Huntley. No royalty nor registration fee has |
| been paid for the programs, which are for your use |
| and evaluation as a student. |
| |
| If you wish to receive technical support and |
| announcements of updates and improvements, you |
| must first become a "registered user." You do |
| that by purchasing each program you plan to use - |
| from an authorized dealer or directly from |
| us: |
| |
| Charles Huntley |
| 2261 Market St.,#296 |
| San Francisco, CA 94114-1693 |
| |
| You may also purchase by calling: |
| (415) 431-5197 |
+----------------------------------------------------+
8. Shareware distribution is permitted only in the United States, Canada,
the British Isles, and Australia. Please see the section below
entitled: SHAREWARE COPYING OUTSIDE OF THE USA.
9. When this program is used on a network, one licensed copy of the
program must be purchased for each station that uses the program.
+----------------------------------------+
| SHAREWARE COPYING OUTSIDE OF THE USA |
+----------------------------------------+
1. Shareware distribution of programs is permitted only in the
United States, Canada, the British Isles, and Australia (the
"Shareable Area").
2. For information on distribution of our software in countries
outside the shareable Area please contact your local distributor. These
distributors have exclusive distribution rights in the non-Shareable
Area.
+----------------------------------------+
| PRINTING A COPY OF THE USER'S MANUAL |
+----------------------------------------+
If you did not purchase this program directly from Charles Huntley or from
an authorized dealer, then you are considered to be evaluating the
program.
We have tried to provide you with everything necessary to evaluate this
program. The program utilizes clear, informative menus.
This is sufficient for most people to do a good evaluation of the program.
However, some people prefer to have a complete copy of the printed manual.
A complete copy of the printed "User's Manual" for this program is
available on floppy disk to help you with your evaluation of the program.
The name of the documentation file always ends with .DOC.
To print a copy on your printer Type:
MS-DOS: TYPE Drive:\Dir\Program.Doc>Prn
PC-DOS: ECHO Drive:\Dir\Program.Doc>Prn
Good Luck and hope you enjoy the program.
