                             WHAT IS SHAREWARE?
     ------------------------------------------------------------------
     Shareware is a distribution (or marketing) method that gives you
     the opportunity to try out software before making your purchase
     decision. It has become a major force in the software industry,
     helping to reduce software prices and eliminate copy protection
     schemes. If you try the Alad_IRQ package and continue using it, you
     are required to register.
     
     You are encouraged to copy the Alad_IRQ Shareware diskette(s) and
     share them freely with others. You may try out the complete program
     at your own pace, and then decide if Alad_IRQ is an application you
     want on your computer. This is not a disabled or demo copy, but the
     complete working version of the program.

     After you have used Alad_IRQ for a reasonable evaluation period
     (not to exceed 30 days) you must either stop using it or buy a
     licensed copy from Computer Telecommunication Systems, Inc.

     Why pay at all?
        *  You receive the most current copy of Alad_IRQ on diskette
        *  A free copy of SwapIRQ, which lets other DOS software use
           any IRQ (including a printed User Guide)
        *  A free copy of the CTS Serial Port Utilities (shareware version)
        *  Personal support via phone, mail, fax, or electronic mail
        *  Notification of updates and new products 
        *  Free minor updates (usually bug fixes)
        *  Free major updates within 12 months of your initial registration
        *  Inexpensive updates (typically 1/3 the registration price) 
           after your free updates expire
        *  Occasional special price offers (for registered users only) 
        *  Your input and ideas help shape future products 
        *  You help keep software prices down by supporting a distribution 
           method which doesn't depend on expensive advertising campaigns
