     REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

     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 buy. 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.

          Ombudsman Statement. . .

          This program 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 Road, Muskegon,
     MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
     Ombudsman 70007,3536.

          CMFiler Disclaimer - Agreement. . .

          Users of CMFiler must accept this disclaimer of warranty: CMFiler 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
     CMFiler.

          Individual Registration. . .

          CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin,
     President, NoVaSoft and author member of the Association of shareware
     Professionals. The evaluation version of CMFiler is offered at no charge
     to any potential 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 CMFiler
     after a 60-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of $30.
     Checks may be made payable to Charles F. Martin or NoVaSoft.  You will be
     sent by return mail a registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler
     with hard copy of the user's manual.  You are thereby licensed to have as
     many copies of CMFiler as you wish (for example, one on each computer you
     use at home and work, plus one for your briefcase for troubleshooting
     someone else's system), with the understanding that these are for YOUR
     personal use and, if your wish, demonstration to others.  Please
     recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY relaxed condition on copying and
     usage than some authors specify.  It is specified this way for YOUR
     convenience.

          Registration Bonuses! ! !

          In addition to a bound user's manual and current version of CMFiler,
     registration entitles you to user technical support by mail or CompuServe
     E-mail for at least one year.

          Registration ALSO brings you a FREE future major update of CMFiler
     on-disk.  If you are a CompuServe subscriber and so wish, you may be
     added to an E-mail list and receive periodic upgrades of CMFiler by
     CompuServe E-mail.  These files will be transmitted as binary files
     compressed using the PKZIP utility.  Please indicate if this is your
     desire in the area provided on the registration form.

          Registration ALSO entitles you to a $10 cash commission EACH time a
     new registrant uses the accompanying registration form and cites you as
     the source of her/his evaluation copy of CMFiler.  Thus, not only do you
     get a truly fine utility packed with features, but you may effectively
     reduce your registration fee, or even net some cash, just by showing and
     offering the evaluation edition of CMFiler to others.

          Each new registrant ALSO receives a Shareware Bonus Disk -- a
     collection of some of the best shareware utilities and applications
     available.  They are included with the permission of their respective
     authors.  On the registration form please indicate the maximum capacity
     floppy drive you have on your machine, as this determines which bonus
     disk (hence, how many programs) you get.  Programs in the NoVaSoft bonus
     library include:

     o  Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity program
     o  Dave Hamel's BOXER editor
     o  Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR
     o  Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager
     o  Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility
     o  Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program
     o  Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA

     The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs.  The 1.2M, 720k
     and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer.  You will receive the
     disk corresponding to your highest capacity drive, as you indicate on the
     registration form.  Each of these excellent shareware selections is, like
     CMFiler, supported by the integrity of users just like you, so if you
     find your are using them beyond the author's evaluation period, please
     register them.  Each is eminently affordable.  Wolfgang Stiller has
     authorized me to issue coupons for $8 off the normal Integrity Master
     registration price, making it an absolute steal for you.

          And, if all the above weren't enough, you ALSO receive a certificate
     that entitles you to purchase one CD-ROM of the best shareware in the
     world from JCS Marketing, Inc., for only $9.95 -- i. e., at half-price.
     JCS Marketing, Inc., has emerged as one of the real leaders in the CD-ROM
     distribution industry, and their library is unsurpassed.  You won't find
     a better CD-ROM value anywhere.

          Site Licenses. . .

          As noted above, the basic "unit" of registration is the individual
     user (as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person
     licensed to use CMFiler by virtue of this registration may have as many
     copies on as many machines as he/she wishes, under the condition that
     he/she reasonably assures that those copies are not regularly used by
     others in a fashion that circumvents their obligation to also register.
     This concept works fine for the individual user.  For a "corporate" user,
     in which a company or school wishes to provide CMFiler as a workplace
     resource for employees or students, the company's license may be extended
     to a license for multiple users in any combination of two ways:

          1.  The single-user license conferred to the company or one of its
     officials with the original $30 registration may be extended at any time
     to any number of additional "unsupported" users at the rate of $7.50 per
     additional user ($5 per additional student user for schools), with no
     increment in the original benefits (ie., no additional hard copies of
     manual will be sent, only one copy of the future upgrade will be sent and
     technical support will be  provided only to the original registrant).

          I recognize that the number of users afforded access to CMFiler in a
     large company or network will vary as employees come and go and users are
     added and subtracted, and so I ask only for a good-faith estimate, BUT
     based on the total number of users afforded access, NOT on some lower
     estimate of the number of users who might be using CMFiler
     simultaneously.  Once the company or school extends its original
     registration to additional unsupported users in this fashion, it may at
     its own expense print this number of additional manuals and disks to
     distribute to the addition users.  I have priced this license extension
     CMFiler - Registration                    4

     so reasonably that this additional cost per additional user is affordable
     for the smallest to the largest company, and represents a small fraction
     of the workplace productivity gain benefiting each additional user.

          2.   The original license may also be extended to additional
     "supported" users at the rate of $15 per user, and I will send to the
     original registrant one complete registration package (disk plus manual
     and any current material fringe benefits) per additional user.

          In either case of company license extension, the users added are
     licensed to use CMFiler ONLY in the company's workplace for which the
     license extension was purchased.  Any users who wish copies for their
     personal use MUST individually register CMFiler with NoVaSoft.

          Further Distribution of CMFiler. . .

          Distributors and BBS sysops recognized by the Association of
     Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
     distributors may begin offering CMFiler in their catalogs/BBS services
     immediately, and will automatically receive updates by mail by virtue of
     their ASP membership.  Other distributors whose only remuneration is a
     nominal fee for the disk itself, and whose literature makes it clear to
     their buyers that the program material must be separately registered with
     the author, may also offer CMFiler immediately, but should inform me so
     that I can provide them periodic updates.  Distributors who wish to sell
     CMFiler packaged as or in a retail product must contact me, and are NOT
     authorized to distribute CMFiler without prior approval.
