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.
OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT
"Kevin E. Woods is 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."
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of New York City Guide must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"New York City Guide 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 conse-
quential, which may result from the use of New York City Guide. Good
data processing procedure dictates that any program be thoroughly
tested with non-critical data before relying on it. The user
must assume the entire risk of using the program. Any liability
of the seller will be limited to product replacement or refund
of purchase price."
New York City Guide is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please 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 New York City Guide and continue to use
New York City Guide after a 30-day trial period, you must make a re-
gistration payment of $10 to Kevin E. Woods. The $10
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one
computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like
a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another,
just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.
Paying the registration fee also entitles you to 3 months of
telephone support and discounted updates to New York City Guide.
If you are a Compuserve user, you may register on line -
type (GO SWREG) and use the program's ID #73670,1003 when
asked for it. If you are not a Compuserve user, print this
file and cut along line. Send lower portion using the address
below, with your $10.
Thank you.
