WinXs Version 2.0
Copyright (C) 1997 Mick Meaden
All Rights Reserved
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and con-
tinue 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 pocket-
book, 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 WinXs must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
WinXs is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warran-
ties, 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
WinXs.
WinXs 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 pro-
grammers to continue to develop new products. If you find
this program useful and find that you are using WinXs and
continue to use WinXs after a reasonable trial period, you
must make a registration payment of $18 to the author. The
$18 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 WinXs must register and pay for their
copies of WinXs within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
tacting the author.
Anyone distributing WinXs for any kind of remuneration must
first contact the author at the address given in the file
REGISTER.TXT for authorization. This authorization will be
automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
(ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distribu-
tors, and such distributors may begin offering WinXs immedi-
ately (However the author must still be advised so that the
distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version
of WinXs).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of WinXs along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register
their copy if they find that they can use it. All
registered users will receive a copy of the latest version
of the WinXs system.
ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT

The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem
with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support
for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
