- You really receive 3 programs in one. The first, is a educational
- program to read, review and learn your legal rights by reviewing,
- on screen, the FULL annotated text of laws and governmental
- regulations. The annotations, prepared by an attorney, carefully
- point the out the parts of the statute that are very important
- for your legal rights.
-
- LEGAL FORMS: The program features an artificial intelligence
- document generation program that prepares the following legal
- forms. In many instances each form has several different
- variations that you program by answering on screen questions. At
- this time the program can generate over 140 different forms from
- over 100 different categories.
-
- TUTORIALS
-
- This program also features tutorials, which are instructional
- texts that explain the nuts and bolts of various legal problems
- in an easy to understand way. In addition, the tutorials feature
- an on-line dictionary and the ability to examine both full text
- of the laws and the explanation on screen.

- ABOUT SHAREWARE
-
- (The following is courtesy of Paul Mayer, although we have added
- some comments; we don't claim copyright to Mr. Mayer's writings)
-
- 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. (Our policy is listed
- above.) 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. (Our policy allows persons or user groups to freely
- distribute the shareware version of the program. Commercial disk
- vendors must contact us first.)
-
- 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 systems 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.
-
- HOW TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM
-
- On disk one, there is an automated install program. Please backup
- the distribution disks first. (See your dos manual for
- instructions on use of the diskcopy command.) Place disk 1 in a 5
- 1/4" floppy drive, and then make that drive the default drive
- (for example if the floppy drive is "A" enter A: followed by
- Return (the enter key), then type Install, and enter a carriage
- return (the enter key) and follow the directions.
-
- (Or if you acquired 3.5" disks, use them!)
-
- ASP MEMBERSHIP
-
- We are members of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
