******************************* * * * CMFiler -- Version 5.36n * * * ******************************* REGISTRATION INFORMATION: 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. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. 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. _____ 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. _____ Individual Registration. . . CMFiler is a copyrighted shareware program by Charles F. Martin, President, NoVaSoft and author member of the Association of shareware Professionals. The evaluation version of CMFiler is offered at no charge to any potential 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 CMFiler after a 60-day trial period, you must make a registration payment of $30. Checks may be made payable to Charles F. Martin or NoVaSoft. You will be sent by return mail a registered copy of the latest version of CMFiler with hard copy of the user's manual. 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 some authors specify. It is specified this way for YOUR convenience. CMFiler - Registration 2 _____ Registration Bonuses! ! ! In addition to a bound user's manual and current version of CMFiler, registration entitles you to user technical support by mail or CompuServe E-mail for at least one year. Registration ALSO brings you a FREE future major update of CMFiler on-disk. If you are a CompuServe subscriber and so wish, you may be added to an E-mail list and receive periodic upgrades of CMFiler by CompuServe E-mail. These files will be transmitted as binary files compressed using the PKZIP utility. Please indicate if this is your desire in the area provided on the registration form. Registration ALSO entitles you to a $10 cash commission EACH time a new registrant uses the accompanying registration form and cites you as the source of her/his evaluation copy of CMFiler. Thus, not only do you get a truly fine utility packed with features, but you may effectively reduce your registration fee, or even net some cash, just by showing and offering the evaluation edition of CMFiler to others. Each new registrant ALSO receives a Shareware Bonus Disk -- a collection of some of the best shareware utilities and applications available. They are included with the permission of their respective authors. On the registration 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: o Wolfgang Stiller's Integrity Master antivirus/data integrity program o Dave Hamel's BOXER editor o Michael Hotz' PRINDIR printer redirection TSR o Chris Davies Public Address phone book/contact manager o Tom Vavoso's File Finder/Grouper utility o Monte Benham's FASTFILE data base program o Haruyasu Yoshizaki's compression utility LHA The 1.44M bonus disk contains all of these fine programs. The 1.2M, 720k and 360k bonus disks contain successively fewer. You will receive the disk corresponding to your highest capacity drive, as you indicate on the registration form. 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 register them. Each is eminently affordable. Wolfgang Stiller has authorized me to issue coupons for $8 off the normal Integrity Master registration price, making it an absolute steal for you. And, if all the above weren't enough, you ALSO receive a certificate that entitles you to purchase one CD-ROM of the best shareware in the world from JCS Marketing, Inc., for only $9.95 -- i. e., at half-price. JCS Marketing, Inc., has emerged as one of the real leaders in the CD-ROM distribution industry, and their library is unsurpassed. You won't find a better CD-ROM value anywhere. CMFiler - Registration 3 _____ How to Register. . . You may order your registration by one of several ways: o Directly, by sending cash, check or money order to NoVaSoft, 3239 Riverview Drive, Triangle, VA 22172-1421. Please fill out the form below. o With MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover from the Public (software) Library (PsL), by voice to 1-800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394, by FAX to 713-524-6398, or by CompuServe Email to 71355,470. Order CMFiler, part number 10657. These phone numbers are for orders only. To ensure that you get the latest version, PsL will notify us the day of your order and we will ship the product directly to you. Any questions about the status of shipment of the order, refunds, registration options, volume discounts, dealer pricing, site licenses, etc., must be directed to NoVaSoft at 703-221-1471 or the address above, and not the PsL order numbers. You may also mail credit card orders to PsL at P. O. Box 35705, Houston, TX 77235-5705. o With major credit card through the CompuServe Shareware Registry. Just GO CIS:SWREG and order entry #15. _____ Site Licenses. . . As noted above, the basic "unit" of registration is the individual user (as opposed, for example, to the individual machine), and the person licensed to use CMFiler by virtue of this registration 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 register. This concept works fine for the individual user. For a "corporate" user, in which a company or school wishes to provide CMFiler as a workplace resource for employees or students, the company's license may be extended to a license for multiple users in any combination of two ways: 1. The single-user license conferred to the company or one of its officials with the original $30 registration 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, only one copy of the future upgrade will be sent and technical support will be provided only to the original registrant). I recognize 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 I 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 registration 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. I have priced this license extension CMFiler - Registration 4 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. The original license may also be extended to additional "supported" users at the rate of $15 per user, and I will send to the original registrant one complete registration package (disk plus manual and any current material fringe benefits) per additional user. In either case of company license extension, the users added are licensed to use CMFiler ONLY in the company's workplace for which the license extension was purchased. Any users who wish copies for their personal use MUST individually register CMFiler with NoVaSoft. _____ Further Distribution of CMFiler. . . Distributors and BBS sysops recognized by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors may begin offering CMFiler in their catalogs/BBS services immediately, and will automatically receive updates by mail 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 must be separately registered with the author, 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.
