This  "checkout" BBS distributes software for the sole purpose of testing prior
to  purchase.  You have 24 hours to try the software out and determine if it is
worth  purchasing,  then you must destroy it.  The BBS SysOp feels that  it  is
unfair to computer users that they are unable to evaluate software to see if it
suits their needs.  Many users have purchased software by the way it "looks" on
the  box and have been extremely disappointed - and have therefore wasted their
time  and money.  Nobody in their right mind would purchase a car without first
test driving it, or for that matter, purchase clothes without first 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 that there are also other users in the
market  willing  to  purchase their product if it meets their needs.   This  is
where  this  checkout BBS comes in.  This software is for  evaluation  purposes
only.   If  you like this product, go to your local retailer and  purchase  it.
Otherwise,  please do not use or in anyway distribute this product.  There  are
many advantages to purchasing this product, including:

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 (and the  many
features of the software).

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 very  complex
programs of today.

Upgrades
~~~~~~~~
With  purchasing the software, you are entitled to low-priced or free  upgrades
to new versions, bug fixes, and enhancements.

Legality
~~~~~~~~
Using software without owning a registered copy is illegal.

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,  checkout BBSes will continue  to  make  products
available  for  your testing.  Companies have recently started to head in  this
direction  and  you can now return some products to the company if you are  not
completely  satisfied, but this does not remedy the situation as the refund  or
credit  takes  a long time to get processed and is a big hassle.  We feel  that
under  the  current software industry standards of doing  business,  evaluating
software releases prior to actual purchase is still the best solution.
