THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT
This program 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 this program and continue to use
this program after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment of $ 20.00 to ABC Software. The $ 20.00
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.
Similarly a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of this program must register and pay for their
copies of this program within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements especially favorable to educational
institutions may be arranged by contacting ABC Software.
Anyone distributing this program for any kind of remuneration must
first contact ABC Software 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
this program immediately (However ABC Software must still be advised so
that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of this
program). The latest version is available and may be downloaded from
ABC Software's WWW site at: http://www.islandnet.com/~abcsoft/homepage.htm
You are encouraged to pass a copy of this program 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 a copy of the latest version of the China Clippers
program.

OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT
The ASP Board has set up an office of Ombudsman and appointed an ASP
member as Ombudsman. The Ombudsman's sole role is to mediate disputes
between ASP members and their customers. The Ombudsman reports to the
Board situations where s/he feels Board action or knowledge is
appropriate.
All ASP Members and Associate Members are required to cooperate with the
Ombudsman when so requested.
"This 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 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536."
