******************************* * * * Ordering Information * * * * CMFiler -- Version 6.04 * * * ******************************* Definition of Shareware. . . "Shareware" is a form of distribution that gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to pay for it, just like you must pay for commercial software from a retail store. Copyright laws protect the rights of shareware authors just as they do big companies like Microsoft. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and many shareware programs are of quality comparable to the best commercial programs. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones.) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The shareware author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the evaluation edition of his software, either to all or to specific groups meeting certain criteria. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may include their shareware in a CD-ROM collection for retail sale. 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. _____ Ombudsman Statement. . . This program program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536. _____ CMFiler Disclaimer - Agreement. . . Users of CMFiler must accept this disclaimer of warranty: CMFiler 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 consequential, which may result from the use of CMFiler. _____ Purchase of Individual License. . . CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin, President, NoVaSoft and author member of the Association of shareware Professionals. The shareware (evaluation) edition of CMFiler is offered at no charge to any potential user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but 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 CMFiler after a 60-day trial period, you must make a payment of $30 to be licensed to continue using it. You will be sent by return mail a registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler with hard copy of the user's manual, and receive the additional benefits described below. You are thereby licensed to have as many copies of CMFiler as you wish (for example, one on each computer you use at home and work, plus one for your briefcase for troubleshooting someone else's system), with the understanding that these are for YOUR personal use and, if your wish, demonstration to others. Please recognize that this is a CONSIDERABLY relaxed condition on copying and usage than most producers of commercial software specify, and it is specified this way for YOUR convenience. _____ Purchase Benefits! ! ! Purchase of individual license includes the following benefits: o bound user's manual and current registered version of CMFiler, as noted above o user technical support by phone, mail or CompuServe E-mail for at least one year. o buy an update at any time for $3 (essentially the diskette, packaging and mailing costs) o $10 cash commission EACH time a new buyer uses the CASH.FRM order form and cites you as the source of her/his evaluation copy of CMFiler. o Shareware Bonus Disk -- a collection of some of the best shareware utilities and applications ever written. They are included with the permission of their respective authors. On the CASH.FRM order form please indicate the maximum capacity floppy drive you have on your machine, as this determines which bonus disk (hence, how many programs) you get. Programs in the NoVaSoft bonus library include: - Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity program - Dave Hamel's award-winning BOXER editor - Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR CMFiler - Ordering Information 2 - Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager - Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility - Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program - Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA - Eric Tauck's Wolfware Assembler The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs. The 1.2M, 720k and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer. Each of these excellent shareware selections is, like CMFiler, supported by the integrity of users just like you, so if you find your are using them beyond the author's evaluation period, please pay for them. Each is eminently affordable. o coupon for $8 off the normal Integrity Master purchase price, making it an absolute steal for you. _____ How to Order. . . You may order CMFiler by one of several ways: o By mail, with cash, check or money order: Print the order form in the file CASH.FRM, fill out and mail to NoVaSoft (address is on form). o By mail or fax with credit card: Print the order form in the file CARD.FRM, fill out and mail or fax to PsL (address is on form). o By voice phone with MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover Card: Call the Public (software) Library (PsL), 1-800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394, and ask for CMFiler, Part# 10657. ***THESE PHONE NUMBERS ARE FOR ORDERS ONLY. DO NOT REQUEST TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FROM PsL.*** o By CompuServe with credit card: Just GO CIS:SWREG and order CMFiler, CIS Shareware Registry entry #15. o Via Internet: Go to NoVaSoft's home page -- http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/novasoft2 -- and click on the links to "Product Information" and "CMFiler". There are links on the CMFiler page to the PsL ordering service and Albert's Ambry. CMFiler may be ordered from either service. _____ Site Licenses. . . As noted above, the basic licensing "unit" is the individual user (as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person licensed to use CMFiler may have as many copies on as many machines as he/she wishes, under the condition that he/she reasonably assures that those copies are not regularly used by others in a fashion that circumvents their obligation to also purchase. For a "corporate" user, in which a company or school wishes to provide CMFiler as a workplace resource for employees or students, the company will purchase an individual license for a specific user, and then, on the same CASH.FRM order form, extend that license to multiple CMFiler - Ordering Information 3 users in any combination of two ways: 1. The individual license may be extended at any time to any number of additional "unsupported" users at the rate of $7.50 per additional user ($5 per additional student user for schools), with no increment in the original benefits (ie., no additional hard copies of manual will be sent, and technical support will be provided only to the original licensee). (NoVaSoft recognizes that the number of users afforded access to CMFiler in a large company or network will vary as employees come and go and users are added and subtracted, and so we ask only for a good-faith estimate, BUT based on the total number of users afforded access, NOT on some lower estimate of the number of users who might be using CMFiler simultaneously. Once the company or school extends its original license to additional unsupported users in this fashion, it may at its own expense print this number of additional manuals and disks to distribute to the addition users. We have priced this license extension so reasonably that this additional cost per additional user is affordable for the smallest to the largest company, and represents a small fraction of the workplace productivity gain benefiting each additional user.) 2. It may also be extended to additional "supported" users at the rate of $15 per user. NoVaSoft will send to the original licensee one complete package (disks plus manual and any current material fringe benefits) per additional user. In either case of site license extension, the users added to the original licensed are licensed to use CMFiler ONLY in the workplace for which the license extension was purchased. Any users who wish to use CMFiler outside of that environment MUST purchase their own CMFiler from NoVaSoft. _____ Further Distribution of the Shareware Edition of CMFiler. . . Distributors and BBS who belong to the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) may offer CMFiler in their catalogs/BBS services immediately, and will automatically receive updates on the ASP author-to- vendor CD-ROM by virtue of their ASP membership. Other distributors whose only remuneration is a nominal fee for the disk itself, and whose literature makes it clear to their buyers that the program material is for evaluation only and must be separately purchased from the author if it is used past the evaluation period, may also offer CMFiler immediately, but should inform me so that I can provide them periodic updates. Distributors who wish to sell CMFiler packaged as or in a retail product must contact me, and are NOT authorized to distribute CMFiler without prior approval. Charles F.
