- SHAREWARE - "USER SUPPORTED" SOFTWARE
- -------------------------------------
- Shareware, sometimes called "user supported" software, is a distribution
- method, not a type of software. It is "try before you buy" software.
- The essence of user supported software is to provide computer users with
- quality software without high prices, and yet provide incentive for
- programmers to continue to develop new products.
-
- Copyright laws apply to shareware and commercial software alike.
- Shareware authors, however, grant you limited rights to copy and
- distribute the software. These rights vary with different authors and
- programs, but allow you a chance to try the software before buying it.
-
- The shareware concept depends on the support of its users. After a
- specified trial period, if you decide to keep using a shareware program,
- you are expected to send in the requested payment to register with the
- author. These funds reward the authors for their valuable work, and
- fuels their future endeavors - support, new programs, new and better
- features. With shareware, you get the ultimate money-back guarantee -
- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
-
- CADET AS SHAREWARE
- ------------------
- Wasco Technical Software has made a version of CADET available as
- shareware. After you acquire the CADET shareware, you may take up to 30
- days to evaluate it, free. The shareware edition of CADET displays a
- registration reminder screen, describing the allowed evaluation period
- and registration requirement. This shareware is fully functional,
- complete with spelling dictionary and AutoCAD command line interface.
-
- You must send payment to license CADET in order to use it beyond the
- shareware evaluation period. Site-license arrangements are available.
- Registered users receive a serialized registered copy of CADET (which
- does not display the shareware screen), product support, new product
- notices, upgrade discounts and bonus items (see REGISTRATION BONUSES).
-
- For costs and complete details of registering, print the accompanying
- file REGISTER.DOC, our registration and order form. This form can also
- be printed from the CADET editor.
-
- CADET shareware may be copied and passed around, but only if complete
- and unmodified. If you wish to distribute a copy or copies of the CADET
- shareware, whether you be an individual, shareware vendor, BBS
- operator, or user's group, refer to the accompanying file VENDOR.DOC for
- complete details and requirements.
-
- NOTE: The dictionary distributed with the shareware edition is our
- comprehensive 43,000 word abridged version. This version contains the
- majority of common English words, sufficient to allow you to evaluate
- CADET's spell check feature. The full 112,000 word unabridged version
- of the CADET dictionary is considered too large for general shareware
- distribution, but will be provided to registered users as a bonus.
-
-
-
- REGISTRATION BONUSES
- --------------------
- Registered CADET users receive a half dozen or more registration
- bonuses, as outlined in the accompanying text file BONUS.DOC. Although
- not essential to CADET's use, the bonuses do provide several desirable
- conveniences to users of CADET. See BONUS.DOC for details.
-
- Note: When you register, you are forbidden to further distribute the
- registered version of CADET you receive, either in part or whole,
- including any included items described as bonuses or extras. You may
- only distribute the shareware edition of CADET. See the accompanying
- text file VENDOR.DOC for shareware distribution restrictions.
-
