- PLEASE NOTE: These components are used by Delphi programmers to
- develop print applications which they sell to end users. The demo
- that is included assumes that you have Delphi installed. It will
- not function on its own. They use the DBDEMOS alias and data.

- PrintIt! Information

- 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.
-
- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
- ----------------------
-
- Users of PrintIt! must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "PrintIt! 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 conse-
- quential, which may result from the use of PrintIt!."
-
- PrintIt! is a "shareware product" 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 when registered.
- 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 product
- useful and find that you are using PrintIt! and continue to use
- PrintIt! after a reasonable trial period, you must register it
- with J. Calitz. This registration fee will license
- one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. The
- registration and the activation code will be valid for future
- minor upgrades, bug fixes and enhancements to PrintIt!
- Version 4.0. When we have received your payment, we will
- fax or post your activation code to you. 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. Programs developed by
- using the PrintIt! components may be distributed without
- any additional royalties.
-
- Commercial users of PrintIt! must register and pay for their
- copies of PrintIt! within 30 days of first use or their license
- is withdrawn.
-
- Anyone distributing PrintIt! for any kind of remuneration must
- first contact J. Calitz at the address below for authorization.
- This authorization will be automatically granted to shareware
- distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
- PrintIt! immediately (However J. Calitz must still be advised so
- that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
- version of PrintIt!.).
-
- PrintIt! has a nag screen which displays when PrintIt! is not
- registered. If not registered then the not registered message
- will also print on all reports and printouts. If registered
- the message on the reports will be replaced by the user's own
- wording or nothing if required.
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of PrintIt! along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it.
-
-
- A. Description
- ----------------
-
- PrintIt! are fully functional print components for Delphi. It
- enables you to print forms, reports, tables, queries, etc. with
- a minimum of programming. Unlike other Delphi demo shareware
- components, there is no need for Delphi to run while your program
- (with PrintIt! ) is executing. You must however have the Delphi
- Paradox Engine installed if you are using database access.
-
- This copy of PrintIt! displays a NOT REGISTERED message on the
- screen when preparing a printout and prints a NOT REGISTERED message
- on all printouts if not registered. If you register, you will receive
- an activation code that disables the nag screen and nag message printed
- at the bottom of each printout.
-
- We reserve the right to change prices without notice.
-
- B. Add-Ons or enhancements
- ---------------------------
-
- We would appreciate any comment or suggestion to improve the
- PrintIt! product even further. New versions are coming out
- frequently with bug fixes and enhancements. Please let us know
- if there is any other requirement that you may have.
-
- SUPPORT POLICY
- --------------
-
- Support will be done via the Internet, by mail or by fax. Details
- on how to contact us can be found in the registration program.
