SDN DISTRIBUTION VERSION
Sharing JOBS with others.
We encourage you to upload JOBS' Shareware version to your favorite
BBS or network. All we ask is that you upload the following three
files without changing their names or contents:
JOBS32.SDN JOBS32A1.SDN JOBS32A2.SDN
While JOBS32.ABS is not needed to execute JOBS, it is helpful to those
who would like to know more about JOBS before downloading it.
It is important that the names remain unchanged as they indicate the
version and are well suited to directory searches on most systems.
When giving JOBS to friends, on disk, these three files should also be
included so that they may also upload a proper file set to their
favorite BBS.
Honoring this request improves JOBS' distribution. Improved
distribution means more sales. More sales means more enhancements and
better product for you. Thank you for your cooperation.
For your convenience, here are suggested desriptions of each file.
JOBS32 .SDN JOBS - Install - features & descr.
JOBS32A1.SDN JOBS - DOS shell/Disk manager 1 of 2
JOBS32A2.SDN JOBS - DOS shell/Disk manager 2 of 2
Questions and Answers about Shareware and the ASP
What is "SHAREWARE"?
"Shareware" is a term that describes a unique marketing approach for
software. Shareware, unlike its commercial counterparts, may be
freely copied and passed around. It may (and often is) distributed by
electronic bulletin boards (BBSs), computer clubs, and disk libraries.
The authors of the programs, however, retain all legal rights to the
software (a copyright). They also request that people who try their
software and decide to use it send a "registration fee" (which is
equivalent to purchasing the software).
Isn't it "Public Domain"?
NO! Public domain software has been released completely to the
public, and the author retains no legal rights. Shareware authors, on
the other hand, hold copyrights on their programs. Just as for
commerical soft- ware, the shareware programmer's software is
protected by U.S. and inter- national copyright law.
What do I get if I register?
Many shareware companies offer printed documentation, disks, and tele-
phone support as incentives for users to register their shareware.
Some companies also offer free updates and commissions. But the most
important benefit of registration is that you receive a legal license
to continue using the software.
Aren't registration payments voluntary?
No. While some authors indicate that payment is voluntary, their
willingness to give their software away does not infringe upon or
modify the rights of other authors. If a shareware program's
documentation clearly states that a registration payment is required
for regular use, then you are bound by law to register or stop using
the program.
What is the Association of Shareware Professionals?
The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) is a non-profit
organization incorporated in the state of Washington. It is made up
of shareware authors nationwide who desire to see recognized standards
established for shareware programs and companies. The authors share a
code of ethics and have agreed to adhere to the ASP's standards for
software and documentation.
The ASP is also striving to help disk dealers, the media, and the
public to understand the nature and benefits of shareware. Through
cooperation and mutual standards, the ASP hopes to promote shareware
as a viable alternative to commercial software.
