WHAT IS SHAREWARE?

Shareware is a distribution method in which you "try before you buy" a
software for a period of up to 21 days.  At the end of that time, you MUST
register your copy by paying a modest fee to the author, or remove the 
program from your computer.
Registered users receive a personal registration code which removes all 
reminders from the.  By registering a Shareware program, you support
the authors' efforts to create more quality programs that will appear in the 
Shareware market.
The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier because you can try 
before you buy.  And because the overhead is low, prices are low.  Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee - if you don't use the product, you 
don't pay for it.
