A WORD ABOUT SHAREWARE: If you are new to computers you may not
have heard the term SHAREWARE. Basically this means an author or
group has prepared a software program which you are free to copy
and share with others, but the author of this software requests
a REGISTRATION FEE. This fee is also a matter of good conscience.
The idea is that if the program is useful you evaluate it for a
limited period (usually 30 days) and then become a legally
registered user of the program by paying the registration fee.
If you do not wish to register, you are expected to cease using
the program. Shareware is an honor system. Bonus disks are other
programs are mailed to users upon receipt of a registration fee!
Registered owners can receive the LATEST COPY of PC-LEARN either
with or without registration and two special bonus disks!
