This program is a demonstration of a Shareware counter routine for Visual Basic
for Windows Version 3.0. The source code necessary to run this counter function
can be loaded into the Form_Load event of the startup form for any Visual Basic
program and will provide a limited-run, FULLY FUNCTIONAL evaluation copy of your
project. This will allow potential buyers of your shareware the opportunity to
evaluate you project entirely, rather than provide a "crippled" copy that may
frustrate some of those who evaluate your product.

The only additional control necessary to include on the startup form is a hidden 
Text Box control to contain a decremented variable value for the cumulative number 
of times the program is used after installation. These elements are all  described 
and commented in the source code for easy adaptation to your projects. You can 
define the number of times the program will launch for evaluation, and display 
"reminders" throughout the evaluation period, etc.
