SHAREWARE - "USER SUPPORTED" SOFTWARE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Shareware, sometimes called "user supported" software, is a
distribution method, not a type of software. It is "try
before you buy" software. The essence of user supported
software is to provide computer users with quality software
without high prices, and yet provide incentive for programmers
to continue to develop new products.
Copyright laws apply to shareware and commercial software
alike. Shareware authors, however, grant you limited rights
to copy and distribute the software. These rights vary with
different authors and programs, but serve to give you and
others a chance to try the software before buying it.
The shareware concept depends on the support of its users.
After a specified trial period, if you decide to keep using a
shareware program, you are expected to send in the requested
payment to register with the author. These funds reward the
authors for their valuable work, and fuels their future
endeavors - support, new programs, new and better features.
With shareware, you get the ultimate money-back guarantee - if
you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

CADET AS SHAREWARE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Wasco Technical Software has made this version of CADET
available as shareware. If you acquired CADET as shareware,
you may take up to 21 days to evaluate it, free. Shareware
copies of CADET display a registration reminder screen,
describing the evaluation period and registration requirement.
Users who register their shareware copy or mail order CADET
direct are given a registration code to bypass the screen.
You must send payment to license CADET in order to use it
beyond the shareware evaluation period. Site-license
arrangements are available. Registered users receive a CADET
program diskette with AutoLISP source code, a private CADET
registration code, product support, new product notices, and
upgrade discounts. For pricing, print the accompanying file
REGISTER.NOW or contact us for an order form.
As shareware, the CADET software may be copied and passed
around, but only in its complete, original, and unaltered form
with all disk-based documentation intact. Feel free to share
CADET with your friends and associates, and encourage them to
register their copy if they find that they can use it. Please
note that the CADET registration codes and the *.SRC files are
for licensed users only, do not disclose them to others.
Also, you may not bundle CADET as part of a system, service or
sale without permission from Wasco Technical Software.
Anyone other than ASP vendor members who wish to distribute
CADET for any kind of remuneration must first contact Wasco
Technical Software for authorization. Vendor members of the
Association of Shareware Professionals may begin distributing
CADET immediately, but should advise us if they wish to be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of CADET.
You can always find the latest shareware distribution of CADET
in the CompuServe Autodesk forum (!GO ADESK), library 8 or 9.
Registered CADET users who wish to join Compuserve can sign up
for a FREE Compuserve Intropak with $15.00 usage credit.

SUPPORT
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Registered CADET users receive support for a minimum of three
months from the date of registration. Contact us by voice
mail, fax, regular mail, or electronic mail via Compuserve (we
check Compuserve mail on a regular basis). We are interested
in hearing suggestions from anyone who tries CADET. We value
your suggestions and try to implement as many as we can.
If you have encountered a problem, please try to give us
enough information to verify or duplicate it. Explain in
detail the keystrokes executed and what you perceive the
problem to be. It is important to describe your hardware,
AutoCAD version, and any TSR programs or other AutoLISP
programs you may have loaded. We attempt to find and remedy
any CADET software problems, but cannot promise compatibility
with all hardware or software environments.
