- SHAREWARE INFORMATION Last updated: August, 1993
-
- Shareware is a method of distributing software that gives you 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 the details about the evaluation
- period, registration fee, and support.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder may choose to retain all rights. The
- only meaningful difference between shareware and commercial
- software is the method of distribution. Shareware authors
- specifically grant the rights to copy and distribute the software
- and documentation, either to all users and by all methods, or with
- some restrictions.
-
- You should try to find software that suits your needs and budget,
- whether it's commercial or shareware. Both types have good
- programs and bad, but shareware makes finding the right program
- easier, because you can try before you buy. Also, because
- shareware distribution costs are much lower, shareware prices are
- often lower, too. Finally, shareware has the ultimate money-back
- guarantee: if you don't use it, you don't pay for it.

- Thank you for your support!
