Definition of Shareware. . .
"Shareware" is a form of distribution that gives users a chance to
try software before buying it. If you try a shareware program and
continue using it, you are expected to pay for it, just like you must pay
for commercial software from a retail store. Copyright laws protect the
rights of shareware authors just as they do big companies like Microsoft.
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and many shareware programs are of quality comparable to the
best commercial programs. (In both cases, there are good programs and
bad ones.) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
shareware author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
evaluation edition of his software, either to all or to specific groups
meeting certain criteria. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may include their shareware in
a CD-ROM collection for retail sale.
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 buy. 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.

CMFiler Disclaimer - Agreement. . .
Users of CMFiler must accept this disclaimer of warranty: CMFiler is
supplied as-is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of
CMFiler.
_____
Purchase of Individual License. . .
CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin,
President, NoVaSoft. The shareware (evaluation) edition of CMFiler is
offered at no charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to
share it with your friends, but 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 CMFiler
after a 60-day trial period, you must make a payment of $30 to be
licensed to continue using it. You will be sent by return mail a
registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler with hard copy of the
user's manual, and receive the additional benefits described below. You
are thereby licensed to have as many copies of CMFiler as you wish (for
example, one on each computer you use at home and work, plus one for your
briefcase for troubleshooting someone else's system), with the
understanding that these are for YOUR personal use and, if your wish,
demonstration to others. Please recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY
relaxed condition on copying and usage than most producers of commercial
software specify, and it is specified this way for YOUR convenience.

Purchase Benefits! ! !
Purchase of individual license includes the following benefits:
o bound user's manual and current registered version of CMFiler,
as noted above
o user technical support by mail for one year.
o buy an update at any time for $3 (essentially the diskette,
packaging and mailing costs)
o $10 cash commission EACH time a new buyer uses the CASH.FRM
order form and cites you as the source of her/his evaluation copy of
CMFiler.
o Shareware Bonus Disk -- a collection of some of the best shareware
utilities and applications ever written. They are included with the
permission of their respective authors. On the CASH.FRM order form
please indicate the maximum capacity floppy drive you have on your
machine, as this determines which bonus disk (hence, how many
programs) you get. Programs in the NoVaSoft bonus library include:
- Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity
program
- Dave Hamel's award-winning BOXER editor
- Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR
CMFiler - Ordering Information 2
- Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager
- Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility
- Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program
- Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA
- Eric Tauck's Wolfware Assembler
The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs. The 1.2M,
720k and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer. Each of these
excellent shareware selections is, like CMFiler, supported by the
integrity of users just like you, so if you find your are using them
beyond the author's evaluation period, please pay for them. Each is
eminently affordable.
o coupon for $8 off the normal Integrity Master purchase price, making
it an absolute steal for you.

FROM PsL.***

Site Licenses. . .
As noted above, the basic licensing "unit" is the individual user
(as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person
licensed to use CMFiler may have as many copies on as many machines as
he/she wishes, under the condition that he/she reasonably assures that
those copies are not regularly used by others in a fashion that
circumvents their obligation to also purchase.
For a "corporate" user, in which a company or school wishes to
provide CMFiler as a workplace resource for employees or students, the
company will purchase an individual license for a specific user, and
then, on the same CASH.FRM order form, extend that license to multiple
CMFiler - Ordering Information 3
users in any combination of two ways:
1. The individual license may be extended at any time to any number
of additional "unsupported" users at the rate of $7.50 per additional
user ($5 per additional student user for schools), with no increment in
the original benefits (ie., no additional hard copies of manual will be
sent, and technical support will be provided only to the original
licensee).
(NoVaSoft recognizes that the number of
