WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
------------------
For many of you, this may be your first exposure to shareware.
To help eliminate possible confusion, we have included a short
description of this unique marketing concept, explaining what it
is, how it benefits you, and why it relies on you for its survival.
What is shareware? Shareware is not a kind of software. It is a
revolutionary method of marketing Commercial quality software.
TOOLING SOLUTIONS a high quality, commercial software package that
we are allowing you to examine in your unique environment for up to
15 days before you make the purchase decision. With traditional
marketing methods, you have to purchase the "desired" software
from a computer store or through mail order businesses, then try
it out, and hope it does what you want. Shareware allows you to
"try before you buy!"
We rely upon you, the customer, to examine our software. If you
find our software useful, or use it for more than a 15 day
trial period, you are required to register it. Your support is
needed for us to continue to improve our products.
TOOLING SOLUTIONS(tm) is being marketed in special form as shareware.
This means you have the opportunity to use and evaluate it before you
decide to buy. If you regularly use TOOLING SOLUTIONS, then you are
required to send your registration fee to the author according to the
instructions in this document. (The cost as of this writing is
$79.00 or $49.00 U.S. per single-user license, depending on the
features you desire.) When you register, you receive a copy of the
latest registered version of TOOLING SOLUTIONS, which includes the
features listed in this document, plus any enhancements that may have
been added since this document was released. Using this shareware
issue for more than 15 days constitutes "regular" use under this
license, and requires the user to register. You may freely distribute
the shareware version for evaluation purposes.
PC, XT, PC/AT and PS/2 are trademarks, and IBM is a registered
trademark, of International Business Machines Corporation.
BRUN45.EXE from Microsoft is licensed solely for this software.

SHAREWARE/REGISTERED differences
---------------------------------
The registered TOOLING SOLUTIONS package includes the most recent
versions of all the programs included in this shareware issue.
This shareware version has two programs omitted to decrease download
time. FileExpress ver. 5.1 by EXPRESSWARE CORPORATION is recommended
for adding to or updating the tool steel/supplier database and the
Delta-k bend allowance test bend database.
It is recommended for its ease of use. Although any database program
will work. The tool steel database, forms and screens for
FILE EXPRESS is supplied. The READY BENDER(tm) computer catalogue
has also been omitted. If you choose this option from the main menu,
the ordering information will appear.
These two files occupy about 1.6 meg. of disk space.

PRICING
-------
There are two registered packages you can choose from, depending
on your needs. One is currently available for $79.00 U.S., and
the other for $49.00.
The $49 registered package is the same as the $79 package, however,
to keep costs to a minimum, the bound Manual is not included.
(The manual makes extensive use of figures or graphics, so it would
not be practical to create a manual on disk.)
The programs have been written to be as simple as possible to use.
Both registered version includes (4) 3 1/2" program disks.
Included with both versions, is a supplemental shareware disk which
includes programs that are not on the menu. These programs are
useful to the tool engineer. A databasing program is also included.
The $79 registered package includes a 225 page bound manual.
Otherwise, it is the same as the $49 package.
The $79 package is highly recommended for the technical information
on different tooling processes that it covers.

to change after January 1, 1995. The latest shareware issue of
TOOLING SOLUTIONS, which includes the most up-to-date information
