$$$HelpSection002Definition$$$ 


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.

DISTRIBUTION AND REGISTRATION
 
The DXF BOM Generator is a "shareware program" and is provided at
no charge to the user for evaluation.   Feel free to share it
with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as
part of another  system--it must be distributed in its originally
compressed form with all associated files included.  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 the
DXF BOM Generator  and continue to use the DXF BOM Generator
after a 30 trial period, you must make a registration  payment of
$33 to Annabec Business Services (ABS).  The $33 registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one
time.  You must treat this software just like a book.  An example 
is that this software may be used by any number of people and may
be freely moved from one  computer location to another, so long
as there is no possibility of it being used at one location 
while it's being used at another.  Just as a book cannot be read
by two different persons at the  same time.  

Commercial users of the DXF BOM Generator must register and pay
for their copies of DXF BOM Generator within 30 days of first use
or their license is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting ABS.   

Anyone distributing the DXF BOM Generator for any kind of
remuneration must first contact ABS 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 the DXF BOM Generator immediately (However ABS
must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of the DXF BOM Generator.).   

You are encouraged to pass a copy of the DXF BOM Generator along
to your friends for evaluation.  Please  encourage them to
register their copy if they find that they can use it.  All
registered users will  receive a copy of the latest version of
the DXF BOM Generator system.
