#THE CONCEPT OF SHAREWARE#
The concept of Shareware is simple. With commercial software you
have to pay for the product before you can try it. If, having
tried it, you don't like it, you almost certainly wont get your
money back and most of the price you have paid will have been to
cover the cost of packaging, advertising and marketing the
product to you.
With Shareware you are supplied with a fully working copy of the
software "On approval". If you obtained your copy from a disk
vendor then you will have paid a small fee to have the disc
duplicated and mailed to you. This is to cover his
administration costs and none of it is paid over to the programs
author.
Shareware products are not inferior to commercial products. In
many cases the reverse is true. You are simply allowed to copy
the programs and give them to friends on the understanding that
they should register their use if they find them useful and
continue to use them.
Easy Word is not the most comprehensive word processor in the
world but it is without doubt the simplest to use and is
probably the best value for money. If you decide to use it then
please be as fair with the author as he has been with you and
pay your licence fee. There really is no difference between
using unregistered shareware and keeping any other form of
product supplied "On approval" without paying for it.
If you do make copies for friends then please include this
document, the licence document, the feedback document and the
support statement. Better still - make them a disc copy of the
original distribution disc.
Finally - Please mail the feedback document direct to the author
