        The  XTC  BBS distributes software  for the sole purpose  of
        testing  it prior to purchase. You have 24 hours to try  the
        software  and  determine that it is worth  purchasing,  then
        you must destroy it. The XTC BBS feels that it is  unfair to
        computer user's that they are unable to evaluate software to
        see  if  it  suits their needs.  Many  users have  purchased
        products  by the way the program looks on the box  and  have
        been  extremely  disappointed with  it  and  therefore  have
        wasted their hard earned money.  Nobody in their right  mind
        would purchase a car without test driving it first, or   for
        that matter purchase clothes without trying them on, so  how
        can  software  vendors expect users  to  buy  one  of  their
        products without first testing it.  They will send copies of
        their  software to large corporations to test  but  seem  to
        forget  there are also other users in the market willing  to
        purchase  their  product if it meets their  needs.  This  is
        where  The XTC BBS comes in.  This program is for evaluation
        only,  if  you  like  this product then  go  to  your  local
        computer store and purchase it, otherwise please do NOT  use
        this  product.  On the otherside, The XTC BBS also feels  it
        is  unfair  to  the software vendors for you  to  use  their
        product  without  owning the rights to it.  There  are  many
        advantages to purchasing the product including:

         1) Technical Support: Software vendors set up technical
            support lines for the purpose of helping their
            registered users get the most out of the product and
            help with any bug concerns, etc. It is to your advantage
            to be able to use this.

         2) Manuals: Manuals are a very important part of a software
            package.  No book or text file can replace the original
            manuals, which come with the product. This enables the
            user to get the most out of the package,  especially
            with the complex programs of today.

         3) Upgrades: With buying the original program, you are
            entitled to low priced or free upgrades to new versions
            and bug fixes.

         4) Legality: To use program without owning a registered
            copy is illegal.

         5) Control Of The Industry: When companies who create good
            products are supported,  it reinforces the need for
            good products and helps the company continue to create
            more quality products. On the other hand, companies who
            create substandard products have two options; either
            improve their products or get out of the industry.

         Until companies come up with a better way of allowing users
        to  test their products before purchasing, The XTC BBS  will
        continue to make available products for your testing.
        Companies recently have started to head in this direction
        and you now can return some products to the company if you
        are  not completely satisfied (Norton, and a few others) but
        this does not remedy the situation as the money takes a long
        time  to  be  returned and is a lot of  hassle,  trying  the
        software first is still the best solution.

        In summary, if you decide to use a product, you must buy it.
