GFile revision 2.2A - Copyright 1994, Galen J. Bunnell <ASP>
Note to Registered users of previous GFile revisions
====================================================
If you are a registered user of a previous version of GFile, you are entitled
to use version 2.2A without additional registration fees or requirements.
License Information
===================
The user of this program, by the action of using the program, agrees to
the license and warranty terms below.
GFile is NOT public domain software, nor is it free. It is a
commercial software product, distributed using the 'Shareware'
concept. Under this concept, you are allowed to use GFile for
a period of 30 days to determine if it is useful to you. After
this initial trial period, if you wish to continue to use GFile,
you must register it by sending $20 US (cash, check, or money order)
to:
Galen J. Bunnell
P.O. Box 295
West Warren, MA (,USA) 01092-0295
Registrations are not transferable. Registration confers the right of an
individual to use GFile on any computer system.
Businesses/organizations/institutions, please see the special note below.
Please be sure to enclose your name and mailing address on a separate
sheet. Do NOT count on the return address on the envelope being readable.
For your convenience, I've included a form at the end of this file which you
may print and use for registration.
Upon receipt of your registration, you will be sent a letter confirming
your registration and a diskette containing the current version of GFile,
identical to the shareware version. You will also receive notification
of future revisions/updates of GFile as they become available and information
about how to obtain the latest version. Finally, you will be entitled to
GFile product support as described below.
Registration does not constitute ownership of GFile or any associated files.
ASP Ombudsman
=============
This program is produced by 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 Rd., Muskegon, MI USA, or
send a Compuserve message via CIS MAIL to ASP Ombudsman 72050,1433.
Support
=======
Registered users of GFile are entitled to product support for the lifetime of
the product - that is, so long as the product is distributed by the author -
or for 1 year from registration, whichever is greater.
The primary support mechanism for GFile is via mail. All problems will be
acknowledged, and solutions/workarounds provided when possible. If a problem
cannot be resolved, you are entitled to receive, at your request, a full
refund of the registration fee. Questions concerning configuration, use,
or customization are welcome and will be answered.
Alternatively, limited phone support is available - but not guaranteed. When
I'm not on the road (my 'daytime job' requires extensive travel), I can
usually be reached between 7 and 11 pm (EST/EDT or GMT-5/GMT-6), Mon-Fri;
and 9am - 11 pm Sat-Sun at (413)436-9279. This is a private (versus business)
line, so please ask for me by name. If I'm not available, indicate that the
call concerns GFile, and Sally (my dear wife), will tell you when I'll be
available. Please note that I cannot return or accept charges for long
distance calls.
Limited Warranty
=================
Although all efforts are made to insure proper operation of this program,
I cannot guarantee it will perform correctly on all systems under all
possible configurations. Therefore, before using GFile (or any new program),
back up your system completely and perform rigorous testing before relying
on GFile for critical operations. The author is not responsible for any
damage, loss, or problems caused directly or indirectly from the use of
GFile or any associated files. The liability of the author for the program
not operating as desired or expected shall be limited to the registration
fee paid for use of the program.
Special Registration Note for Businesses/Organizations/Institutions
===================================================================
Rather than register GFile for individuals, you may wish/need to register
based on the number of users of GFile. To do so:
Determine the number of people within your organization that
will be running GFile concurrently.
============
Submit registration fees for the determined number of users.
Note that registration is based on usage - not the number of copies
of GFile. In particular, if 10 (for example) users share a single
networked copy of GFile, the correct registration fee is 10 * $20 or
$200 - the same as if there were individual copies of GFile on each
system. However, also note that if 5 of the individuals worked days
and the other 5 nights, and there were never more than 5 instances
of GFile running at once, the correct registration fee would be
5 * $20 or $100.
Be sure to identify a single person, title, or office to which any
technical correspondence should be directed.
Submitting bug reports/suggestions for improvement
==================================================
All users of GFile are encouraged to submit bug (program trouble) reports.
Registered users will receive responses, and corrections or workarounds as
described in the support section above.
Please provide as detailed a description of the error as possible. If the
error is consistently reproduceable, please describe the steps needed to
reproduce the error. Include as detailed a description of the hardware and
software that make up the system as possible, including a listing of system
files (config.sys, autoexec.bat, win.ini, system.ini). Any information that
will help me reproduce the problem will result in quicker correction. If I
cannot reproduce the problem, any suggestions I make to resolve it will be
'stabs in the dark'.
Suggestions for improving GFile are always welcome. However, the order in
which they are implemented is:
1. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
2. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
3. Suggestions from Registered Users/Sites
4. Suggestions from beta testers
5. Chief Programmer's (my) ideas
6. Suggestions from unregistered sources
If you deduce from this that registering is a good way to influence the
future direction of GFile - You're correct. If you suspect that the Chief
Programmer always has more ideas than time to implement them, and that
suggestions received only from unregistered sources are rarely implemented -
You're correct again.
Please submit bug reports or suggestions for improvement to the same address
as listed for registration. Thank you.
