WELCOME TO REMIND-ME FOR WINDOWS 95/98/NT
***********************************************************

Remind-Me is designed to keep track and remind you of important events
before they occur.  Remind-Me displays holidays, birthdays,
anniversaries, or any scheduled event in a list or on an attractive
traditional calendar.  Have Remind-Me alert you of events when your
computer starts, or at any specified time.  Remind-Me has built-in
support for sending e-mail when an event comes up.  Have the e-mail sent
automatically, or compose it yourself.  Remind-Me seamlessly integrates
the option to attach a personal greeting, recorded using your computer's
sound card and microphone.  With Remind-Me you will never forget an
important date again.

Comments, suggestions, and questions are welcomed.  See below for
information on how to contact Beiley Software.

***********************************************************
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 Remind-Me (copyright 1998-9 by Beiley Software) must accept this
disclaimer of warranty:

"Remind-Me 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 Remind-Me."

Remind-Me 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 Remind-Me and
continue to use Remind-Me after a reasonable trial period, you must make
a registration payment to Beiley Software.

The 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 Remind-Me must register and pay for their copies of
Remind-Me within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. 
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Beiley Software.

Anyone distributing Remind-Me for any kind of remuneration must first
contact Beiley Software at the address above for authorization.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of Remind-Me 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 registered
version of Remind-Me.
