**** ASP OMBUDSMAN POLICY ****
This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a
shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member
directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide
technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
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.
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.
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.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of PROPOPT must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"PROPOPT is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of PROPOPT."
PROPOPT 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 PROPOPT and
continue to use PROPOPT after a reasonable trial period, you must make
a registration payment of $39 + $5.00 S&H (+7.25% or $2.83 tax on CA orders
- please use order form) to Donald R Bates. The $39 registration fee will
license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must
treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software
may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a
book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of PROPOPT must register and pay for their copies of
PROPOPT within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Donald R Bates.
Anyone distributing PROPOPT for any kind of remuneration must first
contact Donald R Bates at the address below for authorization. This
authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized
by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors,
and such distributors may begin offering PROPOPT immediately (However
Donald R Bates must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of PROPOPT.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of PROPOPT along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find
that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the
latest version of the PROPOPT system.
