You really receive 3 programs in one. The first, is a educational program to read, review and learn your legal rights by reviewing, on screen, the FULL annotated text of laws and governmental regulations. The annotations, prepared by an attorney, carefully point the out the parts of the statute that are very important for your legal rights. LEGAL FORMS: The program features an artificial intelligence document generation program that prepares the following legal forms. In many instances each form has several different variations that you program by answering on screen questions. At this time the program can generate over 120 different forms. (PLEASE SEE SECTION 3 OF THE FULL MANUAL FOR WARNINGS REGARDING SOME FORMS WHICH ARE BEING CHANGED AND HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY PULLED DUE TO CHANGES IN THE LAW) TUTORIALS This program also features tutorials, which are instructional texts that explain the nuts and bolts of various legal problems in an easy to understand way. In addition, the tutorials feature an on-line dictionary and the ability to examine both full text of the laws and the explanation on screen. Features of all programs: An on line notepad, and on line help. We also have a DOS shell which allows you to perform system functions or run other program without exiting this Legal guide. The disk and files which you have RUN identically to the registered version of the Home and Business Legal Guide.

ABOUT SHAREWARE (The following is courtesy of Paul Mayer, although we have added some comments; we don't claim copyright to Mr. Mayer's writings) 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. (Our policy is listed above.) 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. (Our policy allows persons or user groups to freely distribute the shareware version of the program. Commercial disk vendors must contact us first.) 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 systems 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. HOW TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM On disk one, there is an automated install program. Please backup the distribution disks first. (See your dos manual for instructions on use of the diskcopy command.) Place disk 1 in a 5 1/4" floppy drive, and then make that drive the default drive (for example if the floppy drive is "A" enter A: followed by Return (the enter key), then type Install, and enter a carriage return (the enter key) and follow the directions.
