EVALUATION COPY
This is an evaluation copy of FINANCE MANAGER. In several places
of this manual you will notice the following message:
--------------- EVALUATION COPY - SECTION OMITTED ----------------
We feel that there is enough of the manual included to allow you
to make a good evaluation of FINANCE MANAGER. There are many
reasons why we did not include the entire manual on disk.
1. We would like to encourage more of our users to
become contributors. We have priced FINANCE
MANAGER very fairly and we feel it is a great
bargin. We hope you will support lower priced
software by readily paying. Other software
houses will then be forced to take notice.
2. We feel that the honesty of our "registered"
users should be rewarded. They are entitled
to extra value and support which should be
rightfully denied to those who do not pay.
3. The complete documentation takes up to much
disk space.
We hope that you will not be closed minded about the omissions,
and hope to have you on our list of registered contributors soon.
Anyone may obtain an evaluation copy of FINANCE MANAGER from a
friend or club. After you have had a chance to use and evaluate
the program in your own environment, you are trusted to either
send in a contribution or to discontinue use of the program. In
any case, you are encouraged to copy this program for evaluation
by others.
