1.1 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.

1.2 Disclaimer - agreement
--------------------------
Users of Cross Words Deluxe (c) must accept this disclaimer of
warranty: Cross Words Deluxe (c) 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 Cross Words Deluxe
(c).
Cross Words Deluxe (c) 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 Cross Words Deluxe (c) and continue to use Cross Words
Deluxe (c) after a reasonable trial period, you must make a
registration payment of $20.00 to Strategic Solutions. The $20.00
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.
Commercial users of Cross Words Deluxe (c) must register and pay
for their copies of Cross Words Deluxe (c) within 30 days of first
use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting Strategic Solutions.

remuneration must first contact Strategic Solutions at the address
below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically
granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering Cross Words Deluxe (c) immediately (However Strategic
Solutions must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of Cross Words Deluxe (c)).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Cross Words Deluxe (c) along
to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
heir copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
