1) Welcome to your evaluation copy of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5.
You are welcome to use this program and evaluate it for a period
of 30 days. After which you must either delete it, or pay the
registration fee. Hundreds of hours went into this project to
bring you a fine quality program, that will only increase your IQ.
Not all areas and features of this program are enabled, since it is
an evaluation (demo) copy. After you register, you will receive the
full blown program, fully enabled.
There are several ways to make an evaluation copy of a program. I won't
go into all the different reasons I chose the disabling feature method,
but I will tell you that installing, running, and deleting this program
will not mess up your computer, or your registry. It is a simple
program that you can see how most of the features work, then if
you like it you can easily register, (Purchase), this program.
It is an evaluation version in very much the same way you get free
food samples at the grocery store. You sample enough of it to see
how you like it, then you can purchase the entire product if it works
for you.
With this evaluation version, you have a button on many of the program
screens that has a picture of a hand holding a piece of paper.
I named this button the "Reserved" button. Press it and you will see what
is reserved for you in the registered version of the program on this particular
screen.
The registered version is many times larger than this sampler.
In it there will be no "Reserved" buttons, and every program feature will
be fully usable and enabled.
If you need help anywhere in the program, simply press the F1 key.
Online help will help you negotiate the screen you are on.
The English language is the wordest language in the world. We currently
have about 455,000 active words, and about 700,000 words that are dead
and have been retired from our vocabulary.
The words in this program were taken from different magazines, books,
newspapers and speeches. They are for the most part eloquent words that
a successful person should know and use. Each word has been used very
recently in a publication or broadcast.
Perhaps you are familiar with some of them, or many of them. You will find
many of them on the GRE list of vocabulary words.
(A GRE, "Graduate Record Examination", test is a preparation for a master's
degree or a Ph.D.)
If you buy and use the program as intended, you are guaranteed of success
in a powerful and very useful vocabulary. Vocabulary is a very useful
muscle in expressing yourself and your feelings. Developing your vocabulary
automatically develops your reading, spelling and writing skills.
They are all connected.
** Ombudsman Statement**
WormSoft Productions is 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 157-F Love Ave.,
Greenwood, IN 46142 USA.
FAX 317-888-2195, or send email to omb@asp-shareware.org.
**************************************************************************
NOTE: To register this program means to Buy it! It will not place your
name on a junk mailing list or anything. It is simply the word we use
for purchasing our program.
2) Shareware Features:
Since this is the shareware (evaluation) copy of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5,
it is limited on some of the program's features.
You still can see enough in this program to get a good idea of what the
complete program is like. When you register (pay for) this program, you
will get the entire program, with every feature enabled for your enjoyment.
In this evaluation copy you have about 120 words to study, and you still
can take two tests. You still can view all the study tips for
learning new words, and you still can enjoy features such as CD-Rom music
and changing font/screen colors etc.
Please keep in mind that this is only a demo of what the complete program
will look like. For the small amount of money it cost you to register
this program, you would be hard pressed to find a better allocation of your
money that would benefit you or your children for the rest of your lives.
Don't forget that Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 is fully expandable, and it will
never fill up. You can edit the word list, add to them, subtract from them
and use the program the rest of your life.
What follows below are the program features for the REGISTERED version
of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5.
Below that is the definition of shareware. Since few people realize
what shareware really is, I felt it was important to apprise you.
After you finish perusing this documentation, press the agree button to
execute the program. If you do not agree with these terms, press one
of the other two buttons, and the program will exit.

4) 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

"Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 is supplied as is. The author disclaims all

the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.

which may result from the use of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5."
Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 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 Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 and continue
to use Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 after a reasonable trial period, you must
make a registration payment of $19.95 plus $4.00 S&H to WormSoft Productions.
The $19.95 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 Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 must register and pay for their
copies of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
WormSoft Productions.
Anyone distributing Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 for any kind of remuneration must
first contact WormSoft Productions 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
Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 immediately (However WormSoft Productions must still
be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Vocabulary Trainer 1.5 along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
