    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 pocket,
    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 ActaeOn must accept this disclaimer of warranty:

    "ActaeOn 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
    ActaeOn."

    ActaeOn 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 ActaeOn and
    continue to use ActaeOn after a reasonable trial period, you
    must make a registration payment of $39.95 (+$4 S/H) to
    Shareable Software International (See ORDER.FRM). The $39.95
    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 people at the same time.

    Commercial users of ActaeOn must register and pay for their
    copies of ActaeOn within 30 days of first use or their
    license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made
    by contacting Shareable Software International.

    Anyone distributing ActaeOn for any kind of remuneration must
    first contact Jon Clempner at the address below for
    authorization. This authorization will be automatically
    granted to distributors recognized by the Association of
    Shareware Authors - UK (ASA-UK) or the Association of
    Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines
    for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin
    offering ActaeOn immediately (However Jon Clempner must still
    be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date
    with the latest version of ActaeOn.).

    You are encouraged to pass a copy of ActaeOn 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
    ActaeOn system.
