Copyright note
--------------
fsck, eliminate, hardfix and any eventual companion utility are SHAREWARE and
are copyright Sergio Monesi 1994, 1995. They are NOT Public Domain.
Conditions of distribution
--------------------------
You can copy and distribute fsck (from now, with fsck I indicate the whole
fsck suite) as long as you include in the distribution all the text files,
executables and other bits without changing them in any way.
You cannot distribute any part of fsck separately (except the file MapExpl).
Here is the full list of files currently distributed with fsck:
- fsck
- eliminate
- hardfix
- fsck_help
- elim_help
- hard_help
- !SHAREWARE
- !QuickFix
- !Intro
- MapExpl
- StatsHelp
Magazines, PD libraries, FTP sites and any other kind of public distribution
systems are free to distribute fsck, but I'd like to be informed, so that I
can eventually keep them up to date.
fsck CANNOT be included in a commercial package without my approvation.
Conditions of use
-----------------
fsck is SHAREWARE: this means that you can try it but if you like what it does
you have to register.
Considering that fsck should not be used so often (even if it can be
effectively used as a CheckMap replacement), the tipical 2 weeks trial period
isn't appropriate. If you think it will be useful to you (or, even better, if
it cured your disc) or if you use it regularly instead of CheckMap, you have
to register.
To register you simply have to send me a small registration fee (in the form of
bank notes): 5 pounds, 15.000 lire, 20 marks, 10 US dollars, 50 francs, 25 Nlg.
or equivalent.
If you want you can include a disc and, say, 2 pounds for mail costs, and I
will send you the latest version and some other PD program.
I'd like to be informed if fsck fixed your HD map (and also if it failed), so
that I'll update the help file.
A small note
------------
If you now are using an improved version of fsck, is especially because there
is someone who encouraged me to continue its development by sending me a
registration fee. I freely distribute this new version instead of sending it
only to registered users because this is the spirit of ShareWare: I hope I
will not regret of this choice!
I recently finished to develop a new desktop version of the fsck suite
(called FSCK³).
It features:
- completely new desktop interface
- multitask disc scans
- integrated hardfix and eliminate
- file fixing
- easy-to-setup automatic scan on bootup
- map displayer program (including ability to show the position of the files
on disc)
I don't know if I'll release FSCK³ as ShareWare or if I'll try to release it
as a commercial program... I think that, in any case, I'll delay its public
release until september 1995.
