What is Icon Eyes?

Icon Eyes are various animated characters that watch the mouse cursor as it moves across the screen.  Some blink, and some of the characters get bored if there's no movement and will fall asleep.  Icon Eyes has seven different characters to choose from.


Shareware Concept

Most money back guarantees work like this:  You pay for the product and then have some period of time to try it and see whether or not you like it.  If you don't like it or find that it doesn't do what you need, you return it (undamaged) and at some point - which might take months - you get your money back.  Some software companies won't even let you try their product!  In order to qualify for a refund, the diskette envelope must have an unbroken seal.  With these "licensing" agreements, you only qualify for your money back if you haven't tried the product.  How absurd!

Shareware is very different.  With shareware you get to use it for a limited time, without spending a penny.  You are able to use the software on your own system(s), in your own special work environment, with no sales people looking over your shoulder.  If you decide to continue using it, then - and only then - do you pay for it.

Shareware is a distribution method, NOT a type if software.  Shareware is produced by accomplished programmers, just like retail software.  There is good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software.  The primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with shareware you know if it's good or bad BEFORE you pay for it.

As a software user, you benefit because you get to use the software to determine whether it meets your needs before you pay for it; and authors benefit because they are able to get their products into your hands without the hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses it takes to launch a traditional retail software product.  There are many programs on the market today which would never have become available without the shareware marketing method.

The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware products depends on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware you use.  The registration fees you pay  allow us to continue to develop our products.

Please show your support for shareware by registering those programs you actually use and by passing them on to others.  Shareware is kept alive by YOUR support!

Users of Icon Eyes must accept this disclaimer of warranty: " Icon Eyes is supplied as is.  The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitatioin, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.

Icon Eyes 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 Icon Eyes and continue to use Icon Eyes after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment to Applied Logic Engineering.  The 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 Icon Eyes must register and pay for their copies of Icon Eyes within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Applied Logic Engineering .


A Note To Distributors

Anyone wishing to charge people a fee for giving them a copy of Icon Eyes must have the authorization of the author, without which, the distributor is guilty of copyright violation.  To receive such authorization, send the completed form (DISTRIBU.TXT), along with a copy of your software library's order form to Applied Logic Engineering.
