Shareware

What is Shareware?	The Honor System!

Top five reasons why you should register the Shareware

This shareware has no annoying beeps, delays or random  keys to press, and the evaluation copy is fully useful.

Registering is just the right thing to do. Your registration will  encourage me to release other programs as shareware.  This  will also encourage me to release a new edition of this program   with more features..You want to appease the voice in the back of your mind that keeps  chanting "I know I should register, I know I should  register, ..."

Your registration does make a difference.  Each individual   registration is personally  appreciated.

You will receive the three for two bonus offer,

Upon registration, you will receive you registration number and   will be entitled to additional access on our BBS. You will be able to download new revisions and register the   upgrades at no additional cost for the life of the product. You will   also receive the next quarterly distribution of our    freeware diskette.

Shareware is a method of software distribution which 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 in detail; 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 extended privileges such as update notification  and printed manuals.

You should find software that suits your needs and your budget, whether it's  commercial or shareware.  The shareware system makes fitting your needs easier because you can try before you buy.  And because the shareware author's 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.

The Honor System!

We do not use the "nag/splash screens" in our programming   .

We have taken this bold step in the firm belief that most folks are honest.  However, you still have 30 days to either register the shareware or remove it  from your system   We trust that if you do use the product for more than 30 days,   you will register it promptly .  And, upon registration we will immediately send you  your registration number and when each version is completed,you will be notified. Future versions will  be available to registered users at no charge.  Also,    registered users receive free online technical assistance through AOL, CIS, or the Internet, in  addition you will be able to take advantage of the special 3 for 2 bonus offers on all of our products,

If you want to pass any of our shareware packages along to friends and relatives or upload them to BBS's or online subscription services, you are welcome to do so.  However, you must not alter the original files in any manner or add to or subtract from  the files in the package; in short, just send the original ZIP file containing the  entire package.

Free Products 3 for 2

FREE Software Bonus

All Blind Mellon customers get 3 for 2,  any customer that registers 2 products gets the third one free,   3 for 2,  6 for 4,   etc.  There are no restrictions on price, register any two  Category A products and get your choice of any third one free. This will apply toward multiple license requirements as well, i.e.  license price for 3 copies of the same software is the cost of only two copies. Once a customer has registered two products you will be given a registration   for any Category A product of your choice, or  a bonus certificate can be requested to be held for  future use.

Blind Mellon customers have always enjoyed FREE Upgrades, any time a new version of  a product is released, all registered users  may download and register with the same ID number.  Any Blind Mellon Customer may request via Email, the latest version of  any shareware offered.

NOTE: if you are requesting the product as in 3 for 2, do NOT register thru compuserve, simply send an email or reply to your second registration with info about what free product you would like.  Compuserve registration is simply a means of payment to us and has not part in the 3 for 2 bonus program that we offer.
