LICENSE
BrowseMaster is a Shareware product. As such, it is made available
to the general computing public for evaluation. Evaluating users are
licensed to operate BrowseMaster on their personal computers for the
purpose of test and evaluation on a trial basis for a limited trial
period. It is not possible to reasonably define any definitive limits
of a fair and equitable time period for evaluation, therefore it is left
to the user's judgment and sense of fair play as to the time required to
make a decision as to its usefulness. If the user decides the program
is not of sufficient merit to warrant purchase through registration with
New-Ware, the program should be removed from their personal computer.
Otherwise, if the program is deemed useful and is in regular use on the
user's personal computer system, registration with New-Ware is required.
Registered users are those users that use the program on a regular
basis and register with payment to New-Ware. By virtue of registration
and payment for the program, registered users are granted a license to
continue to utilize the program on their personal computer for as long
as they choose. This license authorizes the user to use the program on
any personal computer system he or she may own so long as the program is
operated on only one computer system at a time. Registration also

results in the user receiving a fully registered copy of the program and
special privileges on the New-Ware BBS.
