- ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
-
- Synfonics/Dominant Systems 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 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send
- a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman
- 70007,3536."

- 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 buyn. 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.
-
- AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 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 AT EASE
- WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING and continue to use AT EASE WITH COMPUTER
- PROGRAMMING after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
- registration payment of $49.00 to SYNFONICS. The $49.00
- 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 AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING must register
- and pay for their copies of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
- within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-
- License arrangements may be made by contacting SYNFONICS/DOMINANT
- SYSTEMS.
-
- Anyone distributing AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING for any kind
- of remuneration must first contact SYNFONICS/DOMINANT SYSTEMS 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 AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
- immediately (However SYNFONICS/DOMINANT SYSTEMS must still be
- advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
- latest version of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER
- PROGRAMMING along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage
- them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All
- registered users will receive three months of phone support and a
- copy of the 240 page AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING workbook.
