                               ABOUT SHAREWARE 
                               

         What is "Shareware" or "User Supported Software"? 

         The concept of "Shareware" or "User Supported Software" 
         represents a revolution in software distribution.  You, the 
         consumer, have the luxury of trying out complete, powerful, 
         quality programs made available to you sensibly priced.  
         Many of the programs listed in our catalog rival and even 
         surpass their commercially available counterparts at a 
         fraction of the cost. 


         Programs listed here are distributed under agreements with 
         the program authors.  None of the money you paid for the 
         program disks goes to the author.  This fee represents a 
         distribution charge and does not cover the cost of the 
         program itself.  If you continue to use a product after a 
         reasonable trial period, you are expected to comply with the      []
 
         authors defined registration fee or donation.  As a 
         registered user you will often receive additional benefits 
         such as enhanced documentation, product support, and new 
         version announcements. 

         One explanation of Shareware that we're particularly fond of 
         goes as follows; 

         "Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. 
         You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook 
         whether it is commercial or Shareware.  The Shareware system 
         makes fitting your needs easier because you can try before 
         you buy. Since 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."
