Definition of shareware
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shareware distribution gives the user a chance to try software before
buying it. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you
don't use the product, you don't pay for 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 buy. And, because the overhead
is low, prices are low also. It's only through your honest support that
this and other shareware programs can be offered at low costs.

Portfolio Manager Registration Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Portfolio Manager is a copyrighted program protected by both U.S. and
international copyright law. If you obtained the program from a
shareware disk vendor, an on-line computer service or bulletin board, a
friend or colleague, or other similar sources, you have an UNREGISTERED
shareware version. The program was created using FOXPRO(tm) Ver 1.02
and compiled with the FOXPRO(tm) compiler to produce the distribution
version.
The unregistered version of Portfolio Manager is functionally identical
to the registered version, except the unregistered shareware version
should only be used for a limited evaluation period, as described
below. The unregistered version does not include the bonus (see below)
programs, however, the absence of these modules does NOT limit or
restrict the program in the performance of its primary functions.
Installation of the registered version, when purchased, will not affect
the data entered with the unregistered version. ALL previously entered
data still exists and is recognized by the registered version, however,
upgrading from versions prior to v4.3 WILL require an upgrade utility.
The registration fee for a single copy of Portfolio Manager is $49.
Payment of the registration fee entitles you to:
1) A disk with all the updates since release
2) Notification of future releases of Portfolio Manager
3) Unlimited technical support via E-mail, phone or regular mail
4) A module to save and retrieve data from past years
5) Bonus programs as shown below:
A) CALCULATOR - results may be transferred to the program if
numeric input was requested when the F2 key was activated
B) CALENDAR - check dates forward or backward
C) FINANCIAL CALC - fourteen ways to evaluate an investment
D) LOAN COMPUTATIONS - seven ways to evaluate a loan
7) An upgrade utility, if needed, to preserve your data from prior
versions
8) My thanks & gratitude (now there is a real incentive !!!)
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users of the Portfolio Manager must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Portfolio Manager 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 Portfolio Manager."
Portfolio Manager License Agreement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Definitions:
PM and Portfolio Manager shall be used interchangeably
SSI and Shane Software shall be used interchangeably
(1) Portfolio Manager is Copyrighted 1985-1993 by Shane Software
International and Steve Hane, and is protected by U.S. domestic and
international copyright laws.
Page 3 (license & warranty continued)
(2) PM, Version 4.3 and above, will usually be distributed on three
5.25 diskettes. Disk 2 and disk 3 are identical for the registered
and evaluation copies of PM. The label on disk 1 provides the
distinction between a registered copy and the evaluation copy.
A registered version of Portfolio Manager is a copy which was
purchased directly from Shane Software International OR an
authorized representative of SSI. It is evidenced by a diskette with
a label bearing a serial number and the word "registered".
An evaluation "shareware" copy of Portfolio Manager is a copy
distributed on diskette or via an electronic bulletin board, on-line
service, or other electronic means, obtained from shareware vendors,
or obtained from another individual, and where the label does NOT
have a serial number or the word "registered" on the disk label.
(3) Unregistered "evaluation" copies of PM are distributed to allow
you to try the program before you pay for it. The unregistered
shareware version of the program may be used free of charge for an
evaluation period of up to 30 days. If you decide you like PM and
want to continue using it beyond the 30 day trial period, you should
purchase a registered copy from SSI or an authorized representative.
Continued use of the program beyond the trial period will not result
in any "hostile" action or limit program or data access. Like most
shareware programs, it is up to the individual user to determine if
the program provides enough value to warrant continued use and hence
a formal registration.
(4) A registered copy of PM will be registered in the name of the
person who purchased it. Your registered copy of PM may be used on
up to two separate computers, provided you are the only person who
uses it on both machines. This allows you to install PM on a home
computer and on a PC at work. The registered copy of PM is not copy
protected, and you may make as many backup copies as you deem
necessary as long as they are not distributed or resold in any form.
(5) Distribution Restrictions: You may copy and distribute an
unregistered shareware version of PM only. The distribution disks
may be passed to other users provided you do NOT release the
registration disk to ANY other person. Regardless of the type media
on which the program was distributed (see 2 above), you may not
give, transfer, or otherwise allow another person to have, copy,
use, or obtain in any other way a copy of a disk with a label
bearing a serial number and the word "registered".
If you distribute the shareware "evaluation" copy of PM, the
program must be distributed in its entirety, including all modules
and documentation. Due to the size of Portfolio Manager, the
evaluation copy MUST be distributed on it's own media and may NOT be
combined with any other software without the express written consent
of the author. An exception to the above is the addition of ".DOC"
file(s) by a vendor or distributor to explain or expand on
information about the program or it's distribution. The price
charged for an evaluation copy of PM should not exceed an amount
which covers the reasonable costs of distribution.
(6) Portfolio Manager is a stand alone application program and
should not affect other software on your computer. However, you
assume all responsibility for any adverse effects caused by the
use of Portfolio Manager.

(7) LIMITED WARRANTY: Shane Software International warrants to
owner of a registered copy of Portfolio Manager that the software
will operate in accordance with the description given in the
documentation, and that the disk(s) will be free of physical
defects which might interfere with normal use. For a period of
90 days from the date of your purchase of Portfolio Manager, SSI
will, subject to the restrictions above and below, repair or
replace any defective item, or refund the purchase price of any
diskette and/or any other parts or components of Portfolio Manager
found to be defective, IF such defect is the fault of SSI and not
the result of misuse or abuse. Such a refund, repair, or
replacement shall be your sole remedy for any defects, program
error(s), or documentation error(s). In no event shall Shane
Software International be responsible for any other costs or
damages whatsoever due to errors in usage or your failure to read,
understand, or follow instructions in the documentation.
SHANE SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SHANE
SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE COST OF
REPLACEMENT OF ANY DEFECTIVE DISK(S).
(8) Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are dissatisfied with a
registered copy of Portfolio Manager for any reason, regardless of
the existence of software errors or media defects, you may return
the entire package at any time up to 30 days after receipt for a
full refund of your original registration fee.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Portfolio Manager 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 a copy of the latest version of the Portfolio Manager system.
Commercial users of Portfolio Manager must register and pay for
their copies of Portfolio Manager within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made
by contacting Shane Software Int'l.
Authorization to distribute Portfolio Manager and charge a reasonable
distribution fee is granted, however, this fee may not exceed the
reasonable cost of per disk distribution (suggest $6.00 or less per
disk). If you're distributing Portfolio Manager as a commercial vendor,
PLEASE notify Shane Software Int'l so you can be kept up-to-date with
the latest version of Portfolio Manager.
