- REGISTRATION INFORMATION
-
- Registration Procedure:
-
- Dustbowl Designs, Inc. DiskQwik device driver is a complete and fully
- functional Shareware program. You are invited to try and test the
- device driver for a time period of 14 days (2 weeks) in its
- unregistered status. After this 14 day trail period, the device
- driver must be registered with Dustbowl Designs, Inc. or disengaged.
-
- Unlike the flexibility provided in Shareware Applications for
- registration reminders, a Shareware Device Driver is often out of
- sight and out of mind. So, please take care to remember that you are
- still obliged to follow the rules of the 14 day trail period. This
- shareware version requires the user to press a specific key to
- continue the boot process and displays a "Don't Delay, Register Today"
- reminder. Registered versions boot through without ANY delays,
- whatsoever.
-
- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before
- buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it beyond
- the trial period, you are expected to register.
-
- Copyright laws apply to Shareware software products, and the copyright
- holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
- below. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
- the software, either to all or to a specific group. For example, some
- authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
- copy their Shareware products.
-
- 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 do not use the product, you do not pay for it.
-
- DiskQwik v1.10 is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
- to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
- but please 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 continue to use DiskQwik v1.10 after 14 days, you must make a
- registration payment of $25.00 to Dustbowl Designs, Inc.. Payment of
- the registration fee will license one copy of v1.20 for use on any one
- computer at any one time.
-
- Registered version benefits and features:
- * Custom control of the values used for setting Sector per Block
- (SPB).
- * WRITE Multiple companion to the READ Multiple routine.
- * Ultra-fast program loading without delays or required user
- intervention. (If you're getting tired of the random character
- starter and prolonged registration reminder, then it is
- probably time to register <grin>.)
- * Postscript version of the documentation.
- * Advanced technical support and continuous upgradability to all
- future registered versions via our BBS.
-
- You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that
- this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely
- moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no
- possibility of it being used at one location while it is being used at
- another.
-
- Commercial users of DiskQwik v1.10 must register and pay for their
- copies of DiskQwik within 14 days of first use or their license is
- withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
- Dustbowl Designs, Inc..
-
- Anyone distributing DiskQwik v1.10 for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact Dustbowl Designs, Inc. at the address below for
- authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to
- distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
- shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- DiskQwik v1.10 immediately (However Dustbowl Designs, Inc. must still
- be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
- latest shareware version of DiskQwik).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of DiskQwik v1.10 shareware
- distribution ZIP file along to your friends for evaluation. Please
- encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use
- it.
-
- We have studied hundreds of shareware products in order to determine a
- mutually acceptable registration fee. This wonderful device driver
- does provide a true enhancement to your system and likely allows you
- to derive benefit and system uses otherwise impossible. Therefore, we
- have established the following registration fees:
