WHAT SHAREWARE IS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted
software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the software
before purchasing it.  After an evaluation period, the user is
required to register the product if s/he decides to keep using it.

    Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate
complaints that users have with commercial software distribution.

   1. Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of
      charge, in his or her home, *before* deciding to buy it.

   2. Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards,
      through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups.

   3. Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to advertise,
      Shareware is less expensive than commercial software.

   4. Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users'
      requests for help or bug fixes than large software companies.

   5. Shareware software, needless to say, is never copy-protected.


    In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true.  Users show
their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible
distribution scheme by registering their software.  Without user
registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear.  It is
not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the registration.
You are the other guy's "other guy".


WHAT SHAREWARE IS NOT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Shareware is not "free" software.  Shareware is not Public
Domain software.  The fee that you may have paid to receive a
Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid for.
This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User Group, Bulletin
Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of getting the program
to you.  Shareware software is paid for by registering your copy
with the author.

ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the

shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman (OMB)
can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
does not provide technical support for members' products.  Please

telephone and/or FAX number if available.
