-
- TextPad 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 shareware 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
- TextPad and continue to use it after a reasonable trial period,
- you must make a registration payment. This registration fee
- will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.
- All users will receive a copy of the latest release of TextPad when
- they register, and free technical support for a limited period
- (see the on-line help for details).
-
- You must treat this software just like a book. For example,
- this software may be used by any number of people and may be
- freely moved from one computer location to another, as long as
- there is no possibility of it being used at more than one
- location at a time. Just as a book cannot be read by two
- people at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of TextPad must register and pay for their
- copies of TextPad within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn. Site License arrangements may be made by
- contacting Helios Software Solutions.
-
- Anyone distributing TextPad for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact Helios Software Solutions 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 TextPad immediately. (However Helios Software
- Solutions must still be advised so that the distributor can be
- kept up-to-date with the latest version of TextPad.).
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of TextPad along to your
- friends for evaluation, but you must include all files in the
- original distribution. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they make use of it.
-
-
- 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.
-

- ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT:
-
- Helios Software Solutions is 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 members' products. Please
- write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442
- or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman
- 70007,3536.
