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 an updated program with 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
permission 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 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 don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of MATH LADDER - SENIOR must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
MATH LADDER - SENIOR 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 conse-
quential, which may result from the use of MATH LADDER - SENIOR.
MATH LADDER - SENIOR 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 find this program
useful and find that you are using MATH LADDER - SENIOR and
continue to use MATH LADDER - SENIOR after a reasonable trial
period, you must make a registration payment of $10.00 to RONALD
BLOCHER. The $10.00 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 MATH LADDER - SENIOR must register and pay for
their copies of MATH LADDER - SENIOR within 30 days of first use or
their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting RONALD BLOCHER.
Anyone distributing MATH LADDER - SENIOR for any kind of
remuneration must first contact RONALD BLOCHER 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 MATH LADDER - SENIOR immediately (However RONALD
BLOCHER must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of MATH LADDER - SENIOR.)
You are encouraged to pass a copy of MATH LADDER - SENIOR along to
your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered
users will receive a copy of the latest version of the MATH LADDER -
SENIOR, and 90 day technical support.
MATH LADDER - SENIOR is produced by a member of the Association of
Shareware 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 member's products. Please
