Definition of Shareware. . .
"Shareware" is a form of distribution that gives users a chance to
try software before buying it. If you try a shareware program and
continue using it, you are expected to pay for it, just like you must pay
for commercial software from a retail store. Copyright laws protect the
rights of shareware authors just as they do big companies like Microsoft.
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and many shareware programs are of quality comparable to the
best commercial programs. (In both cases, there are good programs and
bad ones.) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
shareware author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
evaluation edition of his software, either to all or to specific groups
meeting certain criteria. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may include their shareware in
a CD-ROM collection for retail sale.
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 ultimate money-back guarantee
-- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

Ombudsman Statement. . .
This program program is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware
principle 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 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
Ombudsman 70007,3536.

CMFiler Disclaimer - Agreement. . .
Users of CMFiler must accept this disclaimer of warranty: CMFiler is
supplied as-is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of
CMFiler.
_____
Purchase of Individual License. . .
CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin,
President, NoVaSoft and author member of the Association of shareware
Professionals. The shareware (evaluation) edition of CMFiler is offered
at no charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
with your friends, but do not give it away altered or as part of another
system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal
computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to
provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
If you find this program useful and find that you are using CMFiler
after a 60-day trial period, you must make a payment of $30 to be
licensed to continue using it. You will be sent by return mail a
registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler with hard copy of the
user's manual, and receive the additional benefits described below. You
are thereby licensed to have as many copies of CMFiler as you wish (for
example, one on each computer you use at home and work, plus one for your
briefcase for troubleshooting someone else's system), with the
understanding that these are for YOUR personal use and, if your wish,
demonstration to others. Please recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY
relaxed condition on copying and usage than most producers of commercial
software specify, and it is specified this way for YOUR convenience.
_____
Purchase Benefits! ! !
Purchase of individual license includes the following benefits:
o bound user's manual and current registered version of CMFiler,
as noted above
o user technical support by phone, mail or CompuServe E-mail for
at least one year.
o buy an update at any time for $3 (essentially the diskette,
packaging and mailing costs)
o $10 cash commission EACH time a new buyer uses the CASH.FRM
order form and cites you as the source of her/his evaluation copy of
CMFiler.
o Shareware Bonus Disk -- a collection of some of the best shareware
utilities and applications ever written. They are included with the
permission of their respective authors. On the CASH.FRM order form
please indicate the maximum capacity floppy drive you have on your
machine, as this determines which bonus disk (hence, how many
programs) you get. Programs in the NoVaSoft bonus library include:
- Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity
program
- Dave Hamel's award-winning BOXER editor
- Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR
CMFiler - Ordering Information 2
- Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager
- Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility
- Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program
- Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA
- Eric Tauck's Wolfware Assembler
The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs. The 1.2M,
720k and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer. Each of these
excellent shareware selections is, like CMFiler, supported by the
integrity of users just like you, so if you find your are using them
beyond the author's evaluation period, please pay for them. Each is
eminently affordable.
o coupon for $8 off the normal Integrity Master purchase price, making
it an absolute steal for you.

_____
Site Licenses. . .
As noted above, the basic licensing "unit" is the individual user
(as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person
licensed to use CMFiler may have as many copies on as many machines as
he/she wishes, under the condition that he/she reasonably assures that
those copies are not regularly used by others in a fashion that
circumvents their obligation to also purchase.
For a "corporate" user, in which a company or school wishes to
provide CMFiler as a workplace resource for employees or students, the
company will purchase an individual license for a specific user, and
then, on the same CASH.FRM order form, extend that license to multiple
users in any combination of two ways:
1. The individual license may be extended at any time to any number
of additional "unsupported" users at the rate of $7.50 per additional
CMFiler - Ordering Information 3
user ($5 per additional student user for schools), with no increment in
the original benefits (ie., no additional hard copies of manual will be
sent, and technical support will be provided only to the original
licensee).
(NoVaSoft recognizes that the number of users afforded access to
CMFiler in a large company or network will vary as employees come and go
and users are added and subtracted, and so we ask only for a good-faith
estimate, BUT based on the total number of users afforded access, NOT on
some lower estimate of the number of users who might be using CMFiler
simultaneously. Once the company or school extends its original license
to additional unsupported users in this fashion, it may at its own
expense print this number of additional manuals and disks to distribute
to the addition users. We have priced this license extension so
reasonably that this additional cost per additional user is affordable
for the smallest to the largest company, and represents a small fraction
of the workplace productivity gain benefiting each additional user.)
2. It may also be extended to additional "supported" users at the
rate of $15 per user. NoVaSoft will send to the original licensee one
complete package (disks plus manual and any current material fringe
benefits) per additional user.
In either case of site license extension, the users added to the
original licensed are licensed to use CMFiler ONLY in the workplace for
which the license extension was purchased. Any users who wish to use
CMFiler outside of that environment MUST purchase their own CMFiler from
NoVaSoft.
_____
Further Distribution of the Shareware Edition of CMFiler. . .
Distributors and BBS who belong to the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP) may offer CMFiler in their catalogs/BBS services
immediately, and will automatically receive updates on the ASP author-to-
vendor CD-ROM by virtue of their ASP membership. Other distributors
whose only remuneration is a nominal fee for the disk itself, and whose
literature makes it clear to their buyers that the program material is
for evaluation only and must be separately purchased from the author if
it is used past the evaluation period, may also offer CMFiler
immediately, but should inform me so that I can provide them periodic
updates. Distributors who wish to sell CMFiler packaged as or in a
retail product must contact me, and are NOT authorized to distribute
CMFiler without prior approval.
