					>*< ShareWare Information >*<

    Now for the bad news that everyone hates to hear. FilesBBS Manager 
is ShareWare and what that means to you the user is that you are free 
to use the program in it's current configuration as long as you 
desire. Only problem with that is that un-registered versions will 
have a 10 second delay at the start and end of the program, all other 
functions are operational. You can obtain a demo key to try out the 
program for 30 days to see if you like it or not. After that time if 
you decide to register the program you will be required to pay either 
$15 or it's equilivant depending on where you register the program at. For  more 
info on registering FBM, see Register or README.TXT file.

    Thanks,

       John
