SUGGESTED LONG DESCRIPTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Business Clock Link is for business and their managers who employ a
group of people who work on a variety of jobs.  Business Clock Link
is a PC-based time clock and in/out board that helps the manager
monitor production, maintain discipline and improve worker
communication.

Unlike other PC based time clock programs, Business Clock Link
is oriented toward the needs of managers.  So we say that Business
Clock Link is "The Clock That Means Business."

Business Clock Link's features include:  (1) Continuous display of
who's in, what they're doing and when they started.  (2) Real-time
job reporting system with task reporting.  (3) Networkable and
sneakernetworkable file system.  (4) Worker messaging system that
gets messages to workers immediately and confidentially.  (5) dBASE
IV file formats with exporting.  (6) On-Line worker discipline with
demerits, reprimands and locking workers.  (7) Worker Scheduling to
prevent early clock-in, force an end-of-day clock-out and
automatically enter breaks and lunches.  (8) Barcoded worker badges.
(9) "Ticker Tape" continuous printing of transactions to guard data
and provide a quick scan of the latest transactions. (10) Time
synchronization with Novell Netware (tm) fileservers. (11) Terminate
and Stay Resident (TSR) utility for hot-key clock-in/clock-out.

WHAT SHAREWARE IS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted
software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the software
before purchasing it.  After an evaluation period, the user is
required to register the product if s/he decides to keep using it.

    Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate
complaints that users have with commercial software distribution.

   1. Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of
      charge, in his or her home, *before* deciding to buy it.

   2. Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards,
      through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups.

   3. Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to advertise,
      Shareware is less expensive than commercial software.

   4. Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users'
      requests for help or bug fixes than large software companies.

   5. Shareware software, needless to say, is never copy-protected.


    In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true.  Users show
their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible
distribution scheme by registering their software.  Without user
registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear.  It is
not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the registration.
You are the other guy's "other guy".


WHAT SHAREWARE IS NOT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Shareware is not "free" software.  Shareware is not Public
Domain software.  The fee that you may have paid to receive a
Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid for.
This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User Group, Bulletin
Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of getting the program
to you.  Shareware software is paid for by registering your copy
with the author.

ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    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 (OMB)
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.  The OMB may be contacted by FAX by sending to
the ASP FAX number: [phone].  In communication with the OMB
please include a telephone and/or FAX number if available.
