ABOUT SHAREWARE

This Shareware product is copyrighted by Logicorp, Inc. and cannot be distributed without the Logicorp Inc.'s. permission.  Logicorp, Inc. retains all rights (unlike public domain software) to this Shareware program and can make changes to it, or withdraw it from public use as it wishes.  The distribution of Shareware is encouraged by Logicorp, Inc. so that others may evaluate it and determine if it meets their needs, use of which beyond a reasonable evaluation period requires you to register your copy of the program.

The Shareware concept is beneficial to both you and me.  You benefit from this "try it before you buy it" approach because it enables you obtain the program at a minimal investment, typically only the connect and line charges for telephone connection to a bulletin board or CompuServ, or the price of the disks and shipping (usually $5 -- $10) from the Shareware vendors, and then spend some time determining if the program meets your needs.

If after a trial use, if you wish to continue using the program, you must then register it.  Registration will entitle the you to the latest version, upgrades, technical support, etc.  However, if after the trial use, if you do not find the program suitable, you should stop using the program and/or pass it on for other potential users to evaluate.

The Shareware approach is additionally beneficial to both you and me because, Shareware is user supported, you may suggest or request certain enhancements, additions, etc., for consideration by me.  I am very interested in receiving you feedback to improve current and future products.  I encourage you to send us any comments.
