ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
Synfonics/Dominant Systems is 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."
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 buyn. 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.
AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING is a "shareware program" and is
provided at no charge to the 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 AT EASE
WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING and continue to use AT EASE WITH COMPUTER
PROGRAMMING after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $49.00 to SYNFONICS. The $49.00
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer
at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book.
An example is that this software may be used by any number of
people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one
location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be
read by two different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING must register
and pay for their copies of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-
License arrangements may be made by contacting SYNFONICS/DOMINANT
SYSTEMS.
Anyone distributing AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING for any kind
of remuneration must first contact SYNFONICS/DOMINANT SYSTEMS at
the address below for authorization. This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as
adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such
distributors may begin offering AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
immediately (However SYNFONICS/DOMINANT SYSTEMS must still be
advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
latest version of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of AT EASE WITH COMPUTER
PROGRAMMING 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 three months of phone support and a
copy of the 240 page AT EASE WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING workbook.
To register, or to request support, please contact:
Synfonics/Dominant Systems
14141 Polk St, Suite 36
Sylmar, CA 91342
The registration fee is $49.00 (plus appropriate tax and $5.00
shipping and handling for the workbook).
