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 with printed manual.
&
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
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 programs
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.
&
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
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.

DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE - cont.
TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #3 is a "shareware program" and is provided
at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as
part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software
is to provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program
useful and find that you are using TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #3 and
continue to use TURBO TPU TOOLKIT! Kit #3 after a reasonable trial
period, you must make a registration payment of $50.00 to LONE WOL
