2 Program status
==================
Flows is being distributed as shareware. If you use the program for more
than 30 days, you are expected to pay for its use by sending the
registration fee of HFL25.00 (US$ 17.00) to the author:
R.W. Gerrits
Wagnerplein 228
5011 LX Tilburg
Netherlands
The software package, which MUST include the files listed above, may be
freely copied and distributed. It's use is subject to the conditions
outlined in this document.
3 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, you
are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum
trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right
to continue using the software to receiving an updated program with
a printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In
both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or
to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permiss-
ion before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should
find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's com-
mercial 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 don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
4 Disclaimer -- Agreement
===========================
Users of Flows must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
``Flows is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from
the use of Flows.''
Flows is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user
for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your colleagues, but 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 find this program
useful and find that you are using Flows and continue to use Flows after
a reasonable trial period of 30 days, you must make a registration
payment as described on the first page of this document. The applicable
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any
one time. 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's being used at
another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Commercial users of Flows must register and pay for their copies of
Flows within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting the author.
Anyone distributing Flows for any kind of remuneration must first
contact the author at the address above 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 Flows immediately. However
the author, R.W. Gerrits, must still be advised so that the distributor
can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of Flows.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Flows along to your colleagues
for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they
find that they can use it.
