- Definition of shareware
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Shareware distribution gives the user a chance to try software before
- buying it. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you
- don't use the product, you don't pay for 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. It's only through your honest support that
- this and other shareware programs can be offered at low costs.

- Portfolio Manager Registration Information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Portfolio Manager is a copyrighted program protected by both U.S. and
- international copyright law. If you obtained the program from a
- shareware disk vendor, an on-line computer service or bulletin board, a
- friend or colleague, or other similar sources, you have an UNREGISTERED
- shareware version. The program was created using FOXPRO(tm) Ver 1.02
- and compiled with the FOXPRO(tm) compiler to produce the distribution
- version.
-
- The unregistered version of Portfolio Manager is functionally identical
- to the registered version, except the unregistered shareware version
- should only be used for a limited evaluation period, as described
- below. The unregistered version does not include the bonus (see below)
- programs, however, the absence of these modules does NOT limit or
- restrict the program in the performance of its primary functions.
- Installation of the registered version, when purchased, will not affect
- the data entered with the unregistered version. ALL previously entered
- data still exists and is recognized by the registered version, however,
- upgrading from versions prior to v4.3 WILL require an upgrade utility.
-
- The registration fee for a single copy of Portfolio Manager is $49.
- Payment of the registration fee entitles you to:
-
- 1) A disk with all the updates since release
- 2) Notification of future releases of Portfolio Manager
- 3) Unlimited technical support via E-mail, phone or regular mail
- 4) A module to save and retrieve data from past years
- 5) Bonus programs as shown below:
- A) CALCULATOR - results may be transferred to the program if
- numeric input was requested when the F2 key was activated
- B) CALENDAR - check dates forward or backward
- C) FINANCIAL CALC - fourteen ways to evaluate an investment
- D) LOAN COMPUTATIONS - seven ways to evaluate a loan
- 7) An upgrade utility, if needed, to preserve your data from prior
- versions
- 8) My thanks & gratitude (now there is a real incentive !!!)

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Users of the Portfolio Manager must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "Portfolio Manager 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 Portfolio Manager."
-
-
- Portfolio Manager License Agreement
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Definitions:
- PM and Portfolio Manager shall be used interchangeably
- SSI and Shane Software shall be used interchangeably
-
- (1) Portfolio Manager is Copyrighted 1985-1993 by Shane Software
- International and Steve Hane, and is protected by U.S. domestic and
- international copyright laws.
-
- Page 3 (license & warranty continued)
-
- (2) PM, Version 4.3 and above, will usually be distributed on three
- 5.25 diskettes. Disk 2 and disk 3 are identical for the registered
- and evaluation copies of PM. The label on disk 1 provides the
- distinction between a registered copy and the evaluation copy.
- A registered version of Portfolio Manager is a copy which was
- purchased directly from Shane Software International OR an
- authorized representative of SSI. It is evidenced by a diskette with
- a label bearing a serial number and the word "registered".
- An evaluation "shareware" copy of Portfolio Manager is a copy
- distributed on diskette or via an electronic bulletin board, on-line
- service, or other electronic means, obtained from shareware vendors,
- or obtained from another individual, and where the label does NOT
- have a serial number or the word "registered" on the disk label.
-
- (3) Unregistered "evaluation" copies of PM are distributed to allow
- you to try the program before you pay for it. The unregistered
- shareware version of the program may be used free of charge for an
- evaluation period of up to 30 days. If you decide you like PM and
- want to continue using it beyond the 30 day trial period, you should
- purchase a registered copy from SSI or an authorized representative.
- Continued use of the program beyond the trial period will not result
- in any "hostile" action or limit program or data access. Like most
- shareware programs, it is up to the individual user to determine if
- the program provides enough value to warrant continued use and hence
- a formal registration.
-
- (4) A registered copy of PM will be registered in the name of the
- person who purchased it. Your registered copy of PM may be used on
- up to two separate computers, provided you are the only person who
- uses it on both machines. This allows you to install PM on a home
- computer and on a PC at work. The registered copy of PM is not copy
- protected, and you may make as many backup copies as you deem
- necessary as long as they are not distributed or resold in any form.
-
- (5) Distribution Restrictions: You may copy and distribute an
- unregistered shareware version of PM only. The distribution disks
- may be passed to other users provided you do NOT release the
- registration disk to ANY other person. Regardless of the type media
- on which the program was distributed (see 2 above), you may not
- give, transfer, or otherwise allow another person to have, copy,
- use, or obtain in any other way a copy of a disk with a label
- bearing a serial number and the word "registered".
-
- If you distribute the shareware "evaluation" copy of PM, the
- program must be distributed in its entirety, including all modules
- and documentation. Due to the size of Portfolio Manager, the
- evaluation copy MUST be distributed on it's own media and may NOT be
- combined with any other software without the express written consent
- of the author. An exception to the above is the addition of ".DOC"
- file(s) by a vendor or distributor to explain or expand on
- information about the program or it's distribution. The price
- charged for an evaluation copy of PM should not exceed an amount
- which covers the reasonable costs of distribution.
-
- (6) Portfolio Manager is a stand alone application program and
- should not affect other software on your computer. However, you
- assume all responsibility for any adverse effects caused by the
- use of Portfolio Manager.
-

-
- (7) LIMITED WARRANTY: Shane Software International warrants to
- owner of a registered copy of Portfolio Manager that the software
- will operate in accordance with the description given in the
- documentation, and that the disk(s) will be free of physical
- defects which might interfere with normal use. For a period of
- 90 days from the date of your purchase of Portfolio Manager, SSI
- will, subject to the restrictions above and below, repair or
- replace any defective item, or refund the purchase price of any
- diskette and/or any other parts or components of Portfolio Manager
- found to be defective, IF such defect is the fault of SSI and not
- the result of misuse or abuse. Such a refund, repair, or
- replacement shall be your sole remedy for any defects, program
- error(s), or documentation error(s). In no event shall Shane
- Software International be responsible for any other costs or
- damages whatsoever due to errors in usage or your failure to read,
- understand, or follow instructions in the documentation.
- SHANE SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED
- OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF
- MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SHANE
- SOFTWARE INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED TO THE COST OF
- REPLACEMENT OF ANY DEFECTIVE DISK(S).
-
- (8) Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are dissatisfied with a
- registered copy of Portfolio Manager for any reason, regardless of
- the existence of software errors or media defects, you may return
- the entire package at any time up to 30 days after receipt for a
- full refund of your original registration fee.
-
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of Portfolio Manager along to
- your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will
- receive a copy of the latest version of the Portfolio Manager system.
-
- Commercial users of Portfolio Manager must register and pay for
- their copies of Portfolio Manager within 30 days of first use or
- their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made
- by contacting Shane Software Int'l.
-
- Authorization to distribute Portfolio Manager and charge a reasonable
- distribution fee is granted, however, this fee may not exceed the
- reasonable cost of per disk distribution (suggest $6.00 or less per
- disk). If you're distributing Portfolio Manager as a commercial vendor,
- PLEASE notify Shane Software Int'l so you can be kept up-to-date with
- the latest version of Portfolio Manager.
