About UniQWK: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ UniQWK is not a free software. You can test it for one month. If you decide to use it, after a trial period, you must get a license. A license for the use of UniQWK can be obtained by sending a $30.00 (American dollars) registration fee. Regarding the Shareware registration. There is only one reminder box just to stimulate you about the registration. This is NOT a crippled version of the program. The license fee paid for UniQWK is a one time fee. The licence legalizes your use of the program and keep you free from the borring reminder box and taglines. Licensed users can use future revisions of UniQWK without aditional fee. If the registration response is good then we'll have the incentive to keep improving the program. It is very nice to know that some of you like what we've done, but it's better to receive some money... Anyway, your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. UniQWK must be copied in an unmodified form and contain all files as described at "This ZIP file contains". Public Domain Disk Vendors and distributors of public domain and user suported software may not charge a fee for UniQWK itself. However you may include UniQWK on a diskette for which you charge a nominal distribution fee. The purchaser of said diskette must be informed in advance that the fee paid to acquire the diskette does NOT relieve said purchaser from paying the Registration Fee for UniQWK.
