- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
-
- LICENSE FOR USE:
- Shareware Trial Edition.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- WARNING! THIS IS NOT FREE OR PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE. THIS IS A
- COPYRIGHTED COMMERCIALLY PUBLISHED PROGRAM.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
- Shareware is a means of marketing Software at a reasonable price.
- Developers of Software use Shareware to distribute their products
- using Shareware because it provides a minimal advertising cost.
- Advertising costs money. In order to market a program on a retail
- basis, a developer typically needs to sell a minimum of 5000
- copies a month. Shareware circumvents this somewhat and helps
- provide you the customer with a good value at a much lower price
- than you would receive from a commercial source.
- In order for shareware to work, If users are actually using
- a product, they must register. Developers can't continue to
- develop and improve products if customers don't register and
- upgrade. Running a small business costs money. If you enjoy using
- a shareware product, either register it or tell the developer
- what they can do to provide a product that you will register. If
- you don't register remove the product from your system and don't
- use it. Shareware is not Free or Public Domain Software. You
- can't expect timely upgrades and fixes from Free or Public Domain
- Software. With a Product like ASTRO, if you register, and you
- find there are problems I will do everything I can to see that
- the product works well for you. I will provide you as much
- assistance as I can. This unfortunately costs money. I can't do
- it without your registration.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- This software is provided for Trial Purposes Only! The
- purpose of this is to give you the user the opportunity to try
- out ASTRO without having to buy it in order to try it.
- This version allows you to use all features of this version
- unimpaired. You are Entitled to Use this Shareware Version for Up
- to 30 days from purchase without Obligation. You may not use this
- version for any Commercial Purpose. I will attempt to provide a
- minimal level of technical support to any caller who calls asking
- for help without registration.
- When you register this program, I will send you the latest
- version of ASTRO, free of limitations and reminders, complete
- with all utilities.
-
- All of the Documentation is in Windows Write format. In order to
- convert that documentation to ASCII text format, a program called
- WRITOTXT has been provided. Simply run WRITOTXT on the files that
- you need to convert.
-
- ASTRO for Windows is a Fun, Powerful, Easy to use Astrology
- Program for Microsoft Windows 3.1. ASTRO takes advantage of
- many Windows features. Graphics and text reports you can view,
- print or convert to text files. Produces Natal, Compatibility
- and transits charts. Registered versions have more
- features. Registrationprice varies from $29.95 to $129.95
- depending on what you need.
-
- This 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 USA 49442-9427,
- Fax 616-788-2765, or send a CompuServe message via
- CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
