WARNING TO ALL SHAREWARE USERS

FROM JAY LICHTENSTEIN - AUTHOR OF THE RECIPE PROCESSOR


Shareware users planning to register with software Authors please take
note:

A rather dishonest individual in Simsbury CT. has placed her name and
address in the software manuals and order forms of various shareware
programs, and has added instructions to send all checks directly to her,
rather then the program Company/Author. Of course, the user receives
nothing in return for registation, as the software Company/Author is
unaware of the attempted registration.  While she only tampered with
BBS's in CT., the tampered programs move quickly via the shareware
process.

To ensure that you are registering with the proper Company/Author, make
sure the name and address in the program match the name and address that
is on the order form.  If there is a difference, it is best to use the
name and address that is contained in the program itself.  Most programs
contain checks to prevent tampering with this information, and when
changed, the program refuses to run.

If in doubt, call the program Author or Software company to get the
proper address.

While I have only received one such complaint, I am sure that this
individual has done the same with dozens of other shareware programs.
Please spread this warning around to other BBS's to warn users of this
type of mail fraud.
