Welcome to PIC_TC (Version 1.10)
PIC_TC
"a PIC library for Turbo C"
by
Dennis F. Lovely
Version 1.10, June 1990
(c) copyright 1990 by CSH Services
LICENCING AND SHAREWARE POLICY
This version of PIC_TC is being distributed under the 'ShareWare'
concept. The 'ShareWare' concept is based on three principles:
1. People need to try programs to see if they are useful.
2. Software authors can be supported directly by users.
3. Copying and networking of programs can be encouraged.
Only by supporting the program authors who release valuable
programs as 'ShareWare' can you encourage others to do the same.
The bottom line is - if you're still using a user supported
program after a couple of weeks, then it's pretty obvious that it's
worth something to you, and you should send in a contribution.
If user supported software works, then everyone will benefit. The
user will benefit by receiving quality products at low cost, and
by being able to "test drive" software thoroughly before
purchasing it. The author benefits by being able to enter the
commercial software arena without first needing large sources of
venture capital.
Why choose this route?
Because of cost. As an individual, I cannot even come close to
meeting the costs of marketing commercial software. Here is what
I'm asking:
If you like this program, and find it of use, then your registration
($25 US / $30 CDN) will be greatly appreciated and used in supporting
future, improved versions. Plus, I will mail you the next update as
soon as it is ready, at no additional charge. A program disk, includ-
ing all source code and laser printed documentation is available for
$45 US / $54 CDN, plus you still get the next update, again at no
additional charge.
ii
What do you get for your registration?
1) the next major version will be sent to you, at no additional
charge. After that, you can always get the current version
for a distribution charge of $10.
2) you encourage me to keep improving and adding features to the
PIC_TC library.
3) if you wish, you'll get on my mailing list for announcements
of future versions and/or products.
4) you'll get support. I do not have the time to support non-
registered users, but I will always make time to support
registered users.
What can you do with your copy of PIC_TC?
Actually, just about anything you want to! Remember that PIC_TC is the
copyrighted property of CSH Services. Beyond that, I would appreciate
if you would:
1) Copy and freely distribute it, as long as NO fee is charged
for such copying and distribution and it is distributed ONLY
in its original, unmodified form.
2) Please, don't rip me off! If you'd like to distribute PIC_TC
embedded in your own software for commercial gain, then
please become a registered user.
3) If you are using this program in a commercial or educational
environment, then I really think that you should register your
copy. That way I'll stay in business and you'll be sure to get
support!
I really would like to hear your comments about PIC_TC. Even if
you're not a registered user, feel free to let me know what you
think about it. If it really stinks, then tell me about it, and
be sure to let me know where it might be improved! With your
comments, hopefully I can produce a better product.
I can be reached at:
Tel: (506) 453-4966
Fax: (506) 452-1040
during the hours of 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.
Please do NOT call at other times. Sorry, but I cannot accept collect
calls.
