IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All our "Unusual Software" (TM) products are sold as Shareware.
Shareware is a term used to describe a system for distribution of
software. Under the shareware concept, software may be freely copied
and passed along to others, or distributed through bulletin board
systems, disk copying services, etc. As a recipient of a shareware
program, you may use the software for a short trial period to determine if
it meets your needs. If it does, you pay the registration fee. By paying the
fee, you are granted the right to retain the software for your use. If the
software is not suitable, you may discard it or pass it along for someone
else to try. Shareware provides substantial benefits to the computing
community of which you are a member: * You get to try out the software
before you pay for it so you know exactly what you're buying. * You get
access to a much broader base of available programs. Thousands of
excellent programs have been written by experts who would never
consider marketing through conventional commercial channels. Through
shareware, these people make their programs available to the
community. Usually, all they ask in return is a small fee to reward them
for the time and effort they've put into the program. * Shareware is
substantially less expensive than most commercial programs. You don't
pay for expensive advertising campaigns and fancy packages. The
shareware concept is based entirely on the honor system, and generally
works quite well. Most people are honest and wouldn't violate the trust
placed in them by the author of the software.
Registered users receive technical support, a newsletter, and upgrade
notifications, as well as discounts on registrations of other programs,
and occasional bonus offers. Check this disk for a file called FREE!.DOC
or BONUS.DOC for a list of bonuses available to registered users.
We also distribute a limited selection of shareware and public domain
programs from other authors. The fee paid to us for these "Bonus Disks"
is for our copying and distribution service. It is not paid to the authors
and is not part of the registration fee. See the Bonus Disk section for
details.
Note that some programs are "archived". This means that in order to fit
several large files on a single disk, a special archiving (compressing)
process has been used. The files must be un-compressed before use.
We provide the un-compressing program.
Before ordering software, read the description carefully, and pay special
attention to the system requirements. Some programs require a hard
disk, graphics capability, or additional memory. As far as we know, our
software will run on most "IBM compatible" personal computers. However,
since equipment configurations vary greatly, we cannot guarantee correct
results for everyone. If you have a problem, please let us know.
These programs are produced by a member of the Association of Share-
ware 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
P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a Compuserve message via
Easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

with registration under $29, and may not be combined with any other
discount offer.)
BONUS DISKS: $3 for each disk. Add a $3 shipping fee to your total
order. (Shipping fee applies only when Bonus Disks are ordered.) This is
not registration, just a copying fee. Registration should be paid to the
authors of the programs.
3 1/5" DISKS: We normally provide 5 1/4" disks. If you must have 3 1/5"
disks, please include an extra $1.00 per disk.
FOREIGN ORDERS: Please add $5 for special postage and handling. Un-
fortunately, we are unable to handle foreign funds. The most convenient
method for overseas customers is to pay by credit card (see instructions
below). Checks must be in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. Most
foreign banks offer this service to their customers. Canadian postal
money orders in U.S. funds are also acceptable. In the U.K. and Europe,
registrations may be paid through Stephen Lee, Shareware Marketing, Beer
EX12 3HU, England. There is a small service fee. Please write to Mr. Lee
for details.
CREDIT CARDS: For your convenience, you may register by credit card
through the Public (Software) Library. (This applies to registered versions
and Bonus disks ONLY, and may involve an extra shipping fee.) In the U.S.
call toll free, 800-242-4775. Others, call 713/524-6394. You can Fax your
credit card order to PSL at 713-524-6398, or mail it to them at P.O. Box
35705, Houston, TX 77235. PSL accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Remember to include your credit card number and expiration date, and sign your order (you may use our order form if you wish, but do not mail credit
card orders to R.K. West). PSL can also accept
orders via CompuServe at 71355,470. Minimum credit card order is $15.00.
NOTE: Some users have reported compatibility problems with the utility
used to un-arc large files (this is rare). If you prefer to receive un-arced programs, please include an extra $3 per disk to cover special handling and materials. Un-arced Bonus disks are not available.
All prices and discounts listed in this bulletin expire 06/30/91. We reserve the right to change product descriptions, system requirements and other information without notice, and to modify or rescind any discounts or
special offers at any time.
