WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
------------------
There are 3 groups of people that make shareware work.  First
there are the people who write the programs (the authors), Second
there are the people who distribute the programs (the vendors),
and lastly there is you, the end user.

The author writes a program and sends it to any number of vendors.
The vendor then charges a fee to distribute the program to the end
user.  This fee (if any) depends on how the vendor distributes the
program.  For example, an on-line service such as CompuServe, 
Genie, etc. charges a connect fee on the time it takes to download
the program.  Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's) generally charge a 
membership fee but do not charge for each download.  Disk vendors 
usually send out catalogs and charge you a certain amount for a 
copy of the program on a disk.  Or, one user may simply give a 
copy to a friend.

The fees these vendors charge are only for the distribution, not 
for the program itself.  The author usually does not get any 
portion of the fee.  These fees cover the vendors costs.

The user can then try the program.  If it meets his or her needs 
and he or she keeps using it they must make a registration 
payment to the author.  If the program does not meet the users 
needs they merely stop using it and need not pay the author 
anything.  The payments to the author are generally the only 
revenues the author gets from the program.  They help to finance 
further development of the program.  The user may receive 
additional materials such as a printed manual when they register.
It depends on the author.

What this means to you is you can try a program before buying
it.  If you continue to use it you must pay the author, otherwise 
you pay nothing.  It also means you get software at a much 
lower price than commercial software since costly advertising and 
distribution is eliminated.  Shareware is a distribution method, 
not a type of software.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software.
The copyright holder retains all rights, with the exception that 
Shareware programs may be copied and distributed as long as 
certain conditions are met.  These conditions vary from author
to author.

at the bottom of the screen are two buttons.  Press the TAB key
