ABOUT SHAREWARE...
Shareware (also known as user supported software and other names) is a
concept not understood by everyone. The authors of Shareware retain all
rights to the software under the copyright laws while still allowing
free distribution. This gives the user the chance to freely obtain and
try out software to see if it fits his needs. Shareware should not be
confused with Public Domain software even though they are often obtained
from the same sources.
If you continue to use Shareware after trying it out, you are expected
to register your use with the author and pay a registration fee. What
you get in return depends on the author, but may include a printed
manual, free updates, telephone support, etc. Only by paying for the
Shareware you use do you enable the Shareware author to continue to
support his software and create new programs. Considering that the
Shareware registration fees are almost always far less than the purchase
price of comparable commercial software it's obvious that Shareware is a
good deal for everyone.
There are real advantages to you in the Shareware system. You get to
try out software to make sure it is compatible with your hardware and
that it fits your needs before you "buy" it with your registration.
The author saves the expense of advertising, packaging and distribution
and passes the savings on to you. Plus, most Shareware authors are
much more accessible than commercial software sources so that your
questions and suggestions are much more likely to be responded to.
Thank you for your support.
To start, enter EZPARTS. Simple, the screen will be basically blank,
this is because you have no parts entered into your new database.
Use the HELP key or press enter to begin entering partnumbers. The
good news is after you have decided that EZPARTS is right for your
needs and you send for a registered copy your test database will be
usable without any modifications. Inaddition, you will be able to
specify other databases other than the default PARTFILE.DB with the
registered copy. EZPARTS was designed to be run from a PC with a hard
drive and a EGA/VGA color monitor, it will however work off of floppies
and a monochrome monitor. If there are any problems with EZPARTS and
your system please let us know as we can not test it on every machine.
Thanks again........ Simple Software
