*************************************************************************** - A cry in the wilderness - Please do not use this program to distribute low-grade novels and books. Bookshops are choked with rubbish - let this not become the case with computer networks. All I can do is ask . . . the rest is up to your conscience. *************************************************************************** - LICENCE/REGISTRATION - BigText is NOT public domain or free software, but is being distributed as "shareware". Registration is definitely required if you wish to distribute programs created by BigText. Remember, you pay only for BigText and you can create and distribute as many viewer programs as you like! BigText is copyright (c) 1992-93 by Kevin Solway. Non-registered users of this software are granted a limited license for a period of up to 28 to 30 days to make an evaluation copy for trial use on a private, non-commercial basis, for the express purpose of determining whether BigText is suitable for their needs. At the end of this trial period, you should either register your copy or discontinue using BigText. Your registration will enable me to provide you with support and updates as they become available. To register, please print and complete the form below. A BigText registration entitles you to use the program on any and all computers available to you, with the following restriction: If other people have access to this program or may use it, then you should purchase a site license (see further information on site licences below). Once you are a registered user of BigText you are free to create as many executable programs as you like and to distribute copies of them as widely as you like. Upgrades of the program are available for only $10. ORDERS OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA: If you are in America you may send a cheque in American dollars.
