- SDN DISTRIBUTION VERSION
-
- Sharing JOBS with others.
-
- We encourage you to upload JOBS' Shareware version to your favorite
- BBS or network. All we ask is that you upload the following three
- files without changing their names or contents:
-
- JOBS32.SDN JOBS32A1.SDN JOBS32A2.SDN
-
- While JOBS32.ABS is not needed to execute JOBS, it is helpful to those
- who would like to know more about JOBS before downloading it.
-
- It is important that the names remain unchanged as they indicate the
- version and are well suited to directory searches on most systems.
-
- When giving JOBS to friends, on disk, these three files should also be
- included so that they may also upload a proper file set to their
- favorite BBS.
-
- Honoring this request improves JOBS' distribution. Improved
- distribution means more sales. More sales means more enhancements and
- better product for you. Thank you for your cooperation.
-
-
- For your convenience, here are suggested desriptions of each file.
-
- JOBS32 .SDN JOBS - Install - features & descr.

- Questions and Answers about Shareware and the ASP
-
-
- What is "SHAREWARE"?
-
- "Shareware" is a term that describes a unique marketing approach for
- software. Shareware, unlike its commercial counterparts, may be
- freely copied and passed around. It may (and often is) distributed by
- electronic bulletin boards (BBSs), computer clubs, and disk libraries.
- The authors of the programs, however, retain all legal rights to the
- software (a copyright). They also request that people who try their
- software and decide to use it send a "registration fee" (which is
- equivalent to purchasing the software).
-
-
- Isn't it "Public Domain"?
-
- NO! Public domain software has been released completely to the
- public, and the author retains no legal rights. Shareware authors, on
- the other hand, hold copyrights on their programs. Just as for
- commerical soft- ware, the shareware programmer's software is
- protected by U.S. and inter- national copyright law.
-
-
- What do I get if I register?
-
- Many shareware companies offer printed documentation, disks, and tele-
- phone support as incentives for users to register their shareware.
- Some companies also offer free updates and commissions. But the most
- important benefit of registration is that you receive a legal license
- to continue using the software.
-
-
- Aren't registration payments voluntary?
-
- No. While some authors indicate that payment is voluntary, their
- willingness to give their software away does not infringe upon or
- modify the rights of other authors. If a shareware program's
- documentation clearly states that a registration payment is required
- for regular use, then you are bound by law to register or stop using
- the program.
-
-
- What is the Association of Shareware Professionals?
-
- The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) is a non-profit
- organization incorporated in the state of Washington. It is made up
- of shareware authors nationwide who desire to see recognized standards
- established for shareware programs and companies. The authors share a
- code of ethics and have agreed to adhere to the ASP's standards for
- software and documentation.
-
- The ASP is also striving to help disk dealers, the media, and the
- public to understand the nature and benefits of shareware. Through
- cooperation and mutual standards, the ASP hopes to promote shareware
- as a viable alternative to commercial software.
