The Shareware Principle
Shareware is one alternative to the increasingly high price of
commercial software. Good software is made available for a
limited test period to users for their evaluation. Once that
test period is over, you should determine if you think the
program is useful. If you use the program, you should send the
requested contribution to the author of the program. Otherwise,
you should delete the software from your machine. This software
is not intended as a "freebie". Just as you work hard for a
living and do not want people taking advantage of you by not
paying you for your work, this is our occupation and it takes a
TREMEDOUS amount of time, $$$money$$$, energy, and effort. If
software authors are not reimbursed for their work, they will
eventually quit writing for the shareware public.
Single User On the opening screen of File Commando II, our name, address,
Registration telephone number, and requested registration price of $40 is
shown. The phone number is only provided for use in registering
your copy or for REGISTERED users to call for phone support. We
cannot give extensive phone support to unregistered users. If
you have a question or a problem, we will try to help you, but
if you do not intend to register your copy, please do not call.
Benefits Registered users receive the latest version, a printed manual,
and a key file to disable the shareware notice screen.
If you wish to make any comments or suggestions, we recommend
that you write us a letter rather than phone so that we can
keep a record. If you are not a registered user and you wish a
response to your letter, please send a self-addressed, stamped
envelope (SASE).
Corporate & Registration is based on the number of users using the program
Multiple Copy and the number of systems that the program is installed on.
Registration What this means is that the single-user registration fee of $40
does NOT register an entire user group, business, school
district, or any other multiple user/computer organization. For
cases like these, we have quantity pricing, as follows:
Number of machines/users Discount
5 - 10 10%
11 - 20 20%
26 - 50 30%
51 - 100 40%
101 - 200 50%
201 - call!
Site licenses & bundling/resale agreements are also available.
Please call for more information.
Unregistered All unregistered copies of File Commando II display the
Copies registration information screen every 20 minutes for 10
seconds. When you register your copy of the program, you will
receive a version that eliminates this nuisance. Other than
this not-so-subtle reminder, File Commando is not crippled or
limited in any other way.
Registration We accept Mastercard/Visa/American Express by telephone only.
If registering by mail, please send your name and address
printed clearly along with a check or money order for the
registration fee. When ordering outside of the United States,
please make certain that your account is on a US bank in US
funds. For oversees orders, please add $10.00 for Air mail
delivery. Otherwise, we have to send it by boat (and you know
how long that can take!).
Program Credits
File Commando was created by Shane & Sandi Stump for S & S Software, Copyright
(C) 1983-1989.
This program and manual could not have been written without the significant
help of our eight cats: Wickett, Princess, Mr. Moby, Allegro, Panda Bear,
Merlin, Toby, and Genghis Khat.
A few people also helped along the way. We would like to thank Mike Bryden, Bob
Willoughby, Michael Ash, Larry Hayden,& (most of all) Inspector Charles Heineke
for their invaluable aid in testing, suggesting, and supporting File Commando.
This program was written using Turbo-C and Debugger, Watcom-C, and Microsoft
Assembler on the Compaq Portable 80386 and the Toshiba T5200.
The manual was written using Lotus Manuscript on an ALR 80386 and a
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet.
