-
- Blueberry Software distributes a neat demo of their file-conversion filter.
-
- Send them a blank tape, they send you a tape with their complete filter product
- and the full manual. The demo filter does everything the full version does -
- except that the converted text is full of spelling errors due to an encryption
- algorithm.
-
- You can fully examine the product and evaluate its output for as long as you
- want. When you send Blueberry the purchase price, they send you a password -
- install the password to disable the encryption, and you are ready to go.
