A Special Message From Night Owl's Publisher 1. Thank you very much for your support. It is our view that Shareware constitutes a viable, low cost alternative to many of the IBM PC/XT/AT family commercial programs. Its greatest strength is that you get to try it before you buy it. No hassles in obtaining a return authorization or from a store manager. We also believe that Shareware is maturing as a product distribution concept and that its general quality and functionality is improving at a rapid rate. This could only happen because users, like yourself, are supporting Shareware products by remitting their registrations when they find a product useful enough to keep. 2. You should know that the Shareware programs on your Night Owl CD come from some of the most skilled Shareware authors in the country. And we at Night Owl want to point out that the long, tedious hours that these authors have devoted to designing and devoloping their high quality Shareware products is worthy of compensation. 3. Your support is important and is greatly appreciated by the authors. With it, Shareware authors are encouraged to design and distribute new products. Without it, a great deal of high quality, low cost software will cease to be available as an alternative to commercial software. 4. We hope some of the Shareware on our CD-ROM becomes a useful and productive element of your system and we urge you to consider other Shareware products when you decide to add software to your system. Please, register the Shareware that you use. It's the right thing to do! 5. Shareware is an exciting method which allows you to try top-quality software before you pay the author. With Shareware, you cannot be disappointed spending money for a program that's not right for you. The small fee you pay to us covers only the duplication and distribution costs, and permits you to evaluate the program. 6. If you continue to use the program, you must send the author an additional payment which may entitle you to technical support, printed manual, bonus programs, and more. Your payment supports authors, allowing them to continue writing newer and better Shareware programs.
