THE PRINCIPLE OF SHAREWARE
==========================
Most of the programs on this MUSTANG CD-ROM are classified as shareware.
"Shareware" is defined as copyright-protected software that can be tried
before purchase. The 'shareware' version of a program can, and should
be, freely copied and handed over to interested individuals. Nowadays
numerous professionally programmed products are distributed as shareware
and are usually of an equally high standard as commercially available
software although there is no underlying cost for product promotion and
marketing. Within a short period of time these products are available on
a world-wide scale through distribution via mailboxes, floppy disks and
CD-ROMs.
As a user you are entitled to try out the shareware version for a
certain amount of time. If you then decide to use the program for a
longer time than the test period you are obliged to become a registered
user. Usually this is accomplished by exacting a, usually modest,
registration fee DIRECTLY TO THE AUTHOR. In most cases you then will
receive the full version and/or printed manuals from the author,
including regular updates.
Registration details may vary from program to program. Please carefully
read the exact regulations which are contained in text files attached to
programs. Some programs may also show registration details when the user
starts or quits the program.
The idea of shareware vitally depends on mutual trust between author,
distributor and you, the user.
PLEASE SUPPORT THIS IDEA BY REGISTERING.
The programs contained on this CD-ROM are released as we received them.
We hope for your understanding that we cannot offer any guarantee that
the program will function properly and that we cannot be held liable for
any damage which may result through correct or incorrect use of the
programs. Shareware always provides the address/e-mail of author. Should
you have any queries in connection with a certain product please contact
author directly.
With the purchase of this CD-ROM no registration fees have been exacted.
The price only covers production cost and development of included menu
system.
The menu and the file manager coming with this CD-ROM do not represent
shareware. They are protected by Copyright (C) 1994 by STARCOM
