My shareware programs are registered as a "package deal". Registering for any one program grants you rights to use all of the others. I feel this represents a much better value than other authors who charge separate fees for each one of their programs. Your one-time payment of $19.95 will grant you registration of every program listed in this document.
Registration is good for all versions -- past, present, and future -- of the programs listed in this file. You only need to register once.
Paying the $19.95 registration fee entitles you to use of all of the following:
There's also some more program in this series which I haven't listed -- see http://www.sb-software.com/curproj.html for information on all of my current projects.
Registration Policy (via US-Mail):
Online Registration via Credit Card:
I support online credit card registration with a secure web server. You can find my software registration page at http://www.sb-software.com/credit/credit.html.This page includes instructions and will direct you to the ordering page which is located on a secure server.
The secure server supports the Secure Sockets Layer and encrypts your credit card information so that it cannot be intercepted or tampered with by anyone. It's a widely accepted standard and absolutely the safest way to do business on the web. You can also fax credit card information to me at 520-797-8325 if you'd prefer.
Your registration code will be generated and emailed to your email address immediately after your registration information has been received and validated. The whole process only takes a minute or two.
Once you have received your code, just enter it into the software as described in the preceding section. It's very easy, and you'll be up and running in no time at all!
The charge will appear on your credit card as "SB Software".
Specific registration benefits include:
Please do consider registering this shareware if you continue to use it. The programming is very involved and time consuming, and it really gives me a lot more incentive to add new features if I receive compensation for my work.

I have several different domains/websites for redundancy purposes. If you can't get through to one, then please try the others:
I also try to maintain recent copies of my shareware on the following sites:
If all of the above fail, you might want to try the shareware.com search site. Their address is http://www.shareware.com.
About the shareware philosophy:
Many of you are familiar with shareware, but for some it is a new concept. Shareware is not free software. Shareware simply entitles you to evaluate the software for a certain period of time before having to pay for it. That way, you can make sure that the software is really worthwhile before you have to part with your hard-earned money.
While I usually do not place an explicit evaluation term on my programs, I would expect that if you find the software useful for 30 days or more, then you should pay for it. It's the right thing to do. Paying for the software is usually referred to as "registering", and when your payment is received, I will send you a registration code. This registration code can then be entered into the software, removing any "nag" features (such as "delays") that might be present. Most of my programs also have an about box that proudly displays your name, so that all your friends will know that you supported the software.
All of my software features a lifetime registration policy. You only have to register once. If I release a new version of a particular program, your registration is automatically good for it. You need never register again.
My registrations operate as a package deal. Paying the registration fee entitles you to registered status in every single program listed in this document. Even if you don't need them all, chances are you find use for several of them. For example, suppose you want a binary news downloader (SBNews), a web downloader (SBWcc), a viewer (SBJV), and a sorting utility (SortPics). From another shareware author, this would probably result in four different programs and four different registration fees, to a total of $80-$100. With my policy, one low registration fee of $19.95 pays for them all!
So why should you register? Registering provides me with the financial support that I need to continue my programming efforts. The more registrations I receive, the greater my incentive to continue working on a project. The more work I put into a project, the better the finished product, and the more you'll enjoy it. So you can see that by registering you ultimately benefit yourself!
