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. Companies often 
provide incentives to register. These may include a copy of the 
latest version of the program, a printed manual, additional 
features or software, telephone support, etc. Incentives vary 
widely from program to program. 

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 shareware version, 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 this program must accept this disclaimer of 
warranty: "This program 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 this program." 

This program 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. Shareware is NOT "public 
domain" software. All files must be kept intact and unmodified. 

If you find this program useful you may want to order the 
enhanced (non-shareware) version, see the file ORDER.FRM for 
information. The purchase price 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 two locations at the same time, just as a book 
cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. 

We request that if you wish to use this program and not order the 
non-shareware version that you send us a postcard with your name 
and address to "register" the shareware copy. 

Anyone distributing the shareware shareware version of this 
program for any kind of remuneration must read the file 
VENDOR.DOC and abide by the instructions therin. Only First 
Magnitude and authorized agents may distribute non-shareware 
copies of First Magnitude software. 

You are encouraged to pass copies of the shareware version of 
this software along to your friends for evaluation. Please 
encourage them to register shareware if they use it.
