EasyRun is ShareWare. Please read the following agreement before using EasyRun. 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. 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. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of EasyRun must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "EasyRun is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse- quential, which may result from the use of EasyRun." EasyRun 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. 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 EasyRun and continue to use EasyRun after a reasonable trial period (approximately 30 days), you must make a registration payment of $10.00 to John M. Merrill. The $10.00 registration fee will license one copy for use on 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. In addition the single registered copy may be installed on up to three computers at one time so long as the software is used by only one person. (In other words, you are allowed to have a single registered version of EasyRun on your work computer, your laptop, and your home computer, so long as this software is not being used simultaneously at more than one computer or by more than one person). Commercial users of EasyRun must register and pay for their copies of EasyRun within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by con- tacting John M. Merrill. You are encouraged to pass a copy of EasyRun along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All users can recieve support through email or regular mail, with registered users receieving priority. Registered users will receive minor bug fixes and feature changes free of charge, as well as major updates for at least 1 year from their registration date. EasyRun is not crippled. The only difference in the registered and unregistered version is: The "About EasyRun" dialog box comes up each time you run an unregisterd version of EasyRun, indicating EasyRun is not registered and a message indicating EasyRun is not registered appears in the "Tips" panel whenever you move the mouse in the surrounding frame.
