What does the program do?
You really receive 3 programs in one. The first, is a educational
program to read, review and learn your legal rights by reviewing,
on screen, the FULL annotated text of laws and governmental
regulations. The annotations, prepared by an attorney, carefully
point the out the parts of the statute that are very important
for your legal rights.
LEGAL FORMS: The program features an artificial intelligence
document generation program that prepares the following legal
forms. In many instances each form has several different
variations that you program by answering on screen questions. At
this time the program can generate over 140 different forms from
over 100 different categories.
TUTORIALS
This program also features tutorials, which are instructional
texts that explain the nuts and bolts of various legal problems
in an easy to understand way. In addition, the tutorials feature
an on-line dictionary and the ability to examine both full text
of the laws and the explanation on screen.
Features of all programs: An on line notepad, and on line help.

ABOUT SHAREWARE
(The following is courtesy of Paul Mayer, although we have added
some comments; we don't claim copyright to Mr. Mayer's writings)
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. (Our policy is listed
above.) 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. (Our policy allows persons or user groups to freely
distribute the shareware version of the program. Commercial disk
vendors must contact us first.)
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 systems 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.
HOW TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM
On disk one, there is an automated install program. Please backup
the distribution disks first. (See your dos manual for
instructions on use of the diskcopy command.) Place disk 1 in a 5
1/4" floppy drive, and then make that drive the default drive
(for example if the floppy drive is "A" enter A: followed by
Return (the enter key), then type Install, and enter a carriage
return (the enter key) and follow the directions.
(Or if you acquired 3.5" disks, use them!)
ASP MEMBERSHIP
We are members of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
This is a standards making body to improve and encourage
shareware. (See the manual for information on ASP's consumer advocate.)
