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 Smokin' must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Smokin' 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 conse-
quential, which may result from the use of Smokin'."

Smokin' is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
friends, but 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 Smokin' and continue to use
Smokin' after a reasonable trial period, you must make a reg-
istration payment of $25 to Methodica Software.  The $25
registration fee will license one copy for use by you personally 
on any computer.  

Commercial users of Smokin' must register and pay for their
copies of Smokin' within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
tacting Methodica Software.

Anyone distributing Smokin' for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Methodica Software at the address below for 
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted 
to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
Smokin' immediately (However Methodica Software must still be advised so
that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Smokin'.).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of Smokin' along to your
friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.
