DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
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. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With regis-
tration, 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 distribu-
tion. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distri-
bute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
For example, some authors require written permission before a com-
mercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
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 ulti-
mate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't
pay for it.
II. Association of Shareware Professionals' Ombudsman policy.
"This program is produced by a member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
ASP wants to make sure that the shareware princi-
ple 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."

this software may be used by any number of people and may be free-
ly 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. Just as a book cannot be read by two different
persons at the same time. Commercial users of Program Entity Organ-
izer (PEO) and SEO must register and pay for their copies of
