- InfoSpy starts. Added code to InfoSpy startup procedure to look for this
- new flag.

- during InfoSpy startup.

- state.

- utility quickly scans your local or netowrk disk and presents you with a
- list of all directories, their total disk size in kb and the percentage of
- the total disk that they occupy. All subdirectories and also enumerated.
- 10. Corrected pointer bug while pulling NETWARE user id's. THis will prevent
- garbage in the user id.
- 11. Corrected module allocation bug by manually unloading the INFTKDLL.DLL
- module like other modules.

- 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.
