- Definition of Shareware. . .
-
- "Shareware" is a form of distribution that gives users a chance to
- try software before buying it. If you try a shareware program and
- continue using it, you are expected to pay for it, just like you must pay
- for commercial software from a retail store. Copyright laws protect the
- rights of shareware authors just as they do big companies like Microsoft.
-
- Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
- authors, and many shareware programs are of quality comparable to the
- best commercial programs. (In both cases, there are good programs and
- bad ones.) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The
- shareware author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the
- evaluation edition of his software, either to all or to specific groups
- meeting certain criteria. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may include their shareware in
- a CD-ROM collection for retail sale.
-
- 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.

- Ombudsman Statement. . .
-
- This program 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 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
- Ombudsman 70007,3536.

- CMFiler Disclaimer - Agreement. . .
-
- Users of CMFiler must accept this disclaimer of warranty: CMFiler is
- supplied as-is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or
- implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
- and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for
- damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of
- CMFiler.
-
- _____
-
- Purchase of Individual License. . .
-
- CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin,
- President, NoVaSoft and author member of the Association of shareware
- Professionals. The shareware (evaluation) edition of CMFiler is offered
- at no charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share it
- with your friends, but do not give it away altered or as part of another
- system. The essence of "user-supported" 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 CMFiler
- after a 60-day trial period, you must make a payment of $30 to be
- licensed to continue using it. You will be sent by return mail a
- registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler with hard copy of the
- user's manual, and receive the additional benefits described below. You
- are thereby licensed to have as many copies of CMFiler as you wish (for
- example, one on each computer you use at home and work, plus one for your
- briefcase for troubleshooting someone else's system), with the
- understanding that these are for YOUR personal use and, if your wish,
- demonstration to others. Please recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY
- relaxed condition on copying and usage than most producers of commercial
- software specify, and it is specified this way for YOUR convenience.
-
- _____
-
- Purchase Benefits! ! !
-
- Purchase of individual license includes the following benefits:
-
-
- o bound user's manual and current registered version of CMFiler,
- as noted above
-
- o user technical support by phone, mail or CompuServe E-mail for
- at least one year.
-
- o buy an update at any time for $3 (essentially the diskette,
- packaging and mailing costs)
-
- o $10 cash commission EACH time a new buyer uses the CASH.FRM
- order form and cites you as the source of her/his evaluation copy of
- CMFiler.
-
- o Shareware Bonus Disk -- a collection of some of the best shareware
- utilities and applications ever written. They are included with the
- permission of their respective authors. On the CASH.FRM order form
- please indicate the maximum capacity floppy drive you have on your
- machine, as this determines which bonus disk (hence, how many
- programs) you get. Programs in the NoVaSoft bonus library include:
-
- - Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity
- program
- - Dave Hamel's award-winning BOXER editor
- - Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR
-
- CMFiler - Ordering Information 2
- - Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager
- - Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility
- - Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program
- - Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA
- - Eric Tauck's Wolfware Assembler
-
- The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs. The 1.2M,
- 720k and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer. Each of these
- excellent shareware selections is, like CMFiler, supported by the
- integrity of users just like you, so if you find your are using them
- beyond the author's evaluation period, please pay for them. Each is
- eminently affordable.
-
- o coupon for $8 off the normal Integrity Master purchase price, making
- it an absolute steal for you.
-

-
- Site Licenses. . .
-
- As noted above, the basic licensing "unit" is the individual user
- (as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person
- licensed to use CMFiler may have as many copies on as many machines as
- he/she wishes, under the condition that he/she reasonably assures that
- those copies are not regularly used by others in a fashion that
- circumvents their obligation to also purchase.
-
- For a "corporate" user, in which a company or school wishes to
- provide CMFiler as a workplace resource for employees or students, the
- company will purchase an individual license for a specific user, and
- then, on the same CASH.FRM order form, extend that license to multiple
- users in any combination of two ways:
-
- 1. The individual license may be extended at any time to any number
- of additional "unsupported" users at the rate of $7.50 per additional
-
- CMFiler - Ordering Information 3
- user ($5 per additional student user for schools), with no increment in
- the original benefits (ie., no additional hard copies of manual will be
- sent, and technical support will be provided only to the original
- licensee).
-
- (NoVaSoft recognizes that the number of users afforded access to
- CMFiler in a large company or network will vary as employees come and go
- and users are added and subtracted, and so we ask only for a good-faith
- estimate, BUT based on the total number of users afforded access, NOT on
- some lower estimate of the number of users who might be using CMFiler
- simultaneously. Once the company or school extends its original license
- to additional unsupported users in this fashion, it may at its own
- expense print this number of additional manuals and disks to distribute
- to the addition users. We have priced this license extension so
- reasonably that this additional cost per additional user is affordable
- for the smallest to the largest company, and represents a small fraction
- of the workplace productivity gain benefiting each additional user.)
-
- 2. It may also be extended to additional "supported" users at the
- rate of $15 per user. NoVaSoft will send to the original licensee one
- complete package (disks plus manual and any current material fringe
- benefits) per additional user.
-
- In either case of site license extension, the users added to the
- original licensed are licensed to use CMFiler ONLY in the workplace for
- which the license extension was purchased. Any users who wish to use
- CMFiler outside of that environment MUST purchase their own CMFiler from
- NoVaSoft.
-
- _____
-
- Further Distribution of the Shareware Edition of CMFiler. . .
-
- Distributors and BBS who belong to the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP) may offer CMFiler in their catalogs/BBS services
- immediately, and will automatically receive updates on the ASP author-to-
- vendor CD-ROM by virtue of their ASP membership. Other distributors
- whose only remuneration is a nominal fee for the disk itself, and whose
- literature makes it clear to their buyers that the program material is
- for evaluation only and must be separately purchased from the author if
- it is used past the evaluation period, may also offer CMFiler
- immediately, but should inform me so that I can provide them periodic
- updates. Distributors who wish to sell CMFiler packaged as or in a
- retail product must contact me, and are NOT authorized to distribute
- CMFiler without prior approval.
