Welcome to VTrain for Windows 95, 98, and
Windows NT, the fully customizable flashcard trainer.

This is a fully functional version of the retail product, but it will stop working after 7 hours testing or 30 days after installation (whatever shorter).

Please take a few minutes to read this file.

(Please note : there is an older 16-bit Windows 3.1 version available for German speaking users.)


Minimum System Requirements
============================================================
Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0
PC 386 or above
2.5 MB free hard disk space
SVGA 640 x 480 x 8 bit
4 MB of RAM (depends on size of user files)


Registration
============================================================

General information

The right to use VTrain can be acquired by paying a registration fee. For private, non-commercial use, VTrain is SHAREWARE, i.e. this software can be evaluated for free during a 30 days or 7 hours period. The evaluation version does not have any functional limitations. If you want to keep on using the program, you have to register. In case you do not, you have to delete VTrain from your computer. 

VTrain computes the evaluation time in hours. After having been run for seven hours the program will not work any more. 
Seven hours are surely enough to test the functionality and applicability of this software.
You can find out how long you have been evaluating VTrain from the About VTrain  command in the Help Menu.


Registration fee for private users 

30,- DM (German Marks, approx. 15 Euros, about 15 U.S.$)  is a reasonable price for this software, I guess.

Should anyone have really little dough, I would also be satisfied with 20,- DM.

The upgrade from an older version to version 2.0 is available for 10 DM, although registered users of a previous version of VTrain will get the upgrade to version 2.0 for free if their license for Version 1.x was granted after 1 February 1999.


How to register

Please transfer the cost to the following account :

Paul Rdle
Acc. No. 3775574
380 707 24 Deutsche Bank 24

You can also send it via  Eurocheque or in cash, although these ways are not too safe. Of course, only crossed checks should be sent via snail mail.

Please write your complete Name and Address on the registration form REGIST.TXT or send those data to me in any other way.
Please mention the Version number you have with your order. I would send you an upgrade at no added cost, in case your version has been improved.

After receiving your order, I will send you your personal registration code, for you to unlock the software with. 


Extent of your license

Please try to understand that you can only register for the current version mentioned in this License Agreement.
The registration code is valid for all minor upgrades (in this case, 2.XX).  The installation process of minor upgrades does not affect the registration information stored in your hard disk.
As new versions of this software are issued, I will try to contact you. 


Guarantees

Sorrily, I cannot be held responsible for the fitness for any particular purpose.
I expressly decline any obligation to pay damages or compensations in relation to the use of this program. Of course, my goal is to write faultless software, but ... nobody is perfect.


Non-private Use

Commercial use of any kind and the use of VTrain by schools, administrations, associations, societies, political parties and trade unions, and any other legal entities, is expressly forbidden without the prior written permission of the author. 

In case you  wanted to purchase site licenses of VTrain for use within an institution, please contact me. I would be interested in such a deal, of course. 


Distribution

Changing this software and the accompanying texts, lending and hiring of this software are expressly prohibited.

Anyone may (and should) distribute copies of this software freely, provided that none of the files delivered by the author is modified or omitted and that no registration code is distributed along with this software. 

Hereby we grant you the right to distribute the shareware version of this software by any means, provided that no costs other than distribution costs are charged to the recipient.

Moral appeal

Some additional comments for the undecided and those who might be interested :

I think 30 German marks (about 15 U.S.$) are an affordable price for anyone. Take into account the huge amount of work invested in making such a program (about 35,000 code lines).
You want to keep on using this software ?  Acknowledge my work by registering.

Software does not develop spontaneously :  aside from lots of time and experience, suitable equipment is required, and compilers are not inexpensive, either.  Further, your registration will help me to further develop and improve this program.

If you are deriving benefit from this software, don't use a stolen copy !
