by sales personnel, the layout of your business spreadsheet
templates, etc. Contact the author. Special arrangements are

If you are new to computers you may not have heard the term
SHAREWARE. Basically this means an author or group has prepared
a software program which you are free to copy and share with
others, but the author of this software requests a REGISTRATION
FEE. The idea is that if the program is useful you evaluate it
for a limited period (usually 30 days) and then become a legally
registered user of the program by paying the registration fee.
If you do not wish to register, you are expected to cease using
the program. Shareware is an honor system.
Are you registered if you "found" this tutorial already
installed on your computer or purchased it from a computer club
or shareware disk vendor or other retailer? Probably not. ONLY
registered owners receive a printed registration with unique
registration number and four special diskettes. You can ONLY
become a registered user by mail through the program's author.
This package is shareware which means try before you buy. It is
acceptable to copy and share it with friends - but only
registered PAYING users receive the bonus disks, registration
certificate and latest update.
The sole owner of this software package is Seattle Scientific
Photography and Jim Hood who assume no liability, intended or
otherwise, for the use or misuse of this package or the
information or software code contained within. No warranties are
offered, either expressed or implied. Your rights in this
respect may vary from state to state. You are granted a limited
license to copy and use this shareware software for a 30 day
evaluation period pending your possible submission of a
registration fee which brings additional benefits and a legal
registration license as noted above.
