- Super Marble Solitaire Overview
- ===============================
-
- Super Marble Soitaire is an action-packed, blood & guts, thriller.......
- Well, maybe there isn't any blood & guts. But, you will "thrill" your
- friends when you show them how expertly you can play this classic game,
- whether on the computer, or on a real board. The extensive on-line
- documentation describes how to use "move patterns" to help you solve
- just about any board layout. After you master the many board patterns
- that are included in this version, you can design your own. You can
- even design "marked marble" problems, where one marble is a different
- color than the rest. Enter a name for your design, and enter your name
- as the designer. You can share your game designs with your friends.

- 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 required to register it.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and retail software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
- stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
- retail 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 retail
- or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier,
- because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower,
- prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee
- -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
-
-
- ASP Ombudsman Policy
- ====================
-
- This program 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 members'
- products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road,
- Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail
- to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536
