Registration

     This program is a Shareware product.  You may copy this program and distribute it to your friends for their evaluation.  If you make use of this software you are expected to pay a registration fee.  Please help support the Shareware concept by registering your Shareware programs.  This will enable shareware authors to continue to write new programs.

     Each registered user of this program may install this program on as many computers as they like as long as its not used at more than one location at the same time.  (See the order form for multiple user site licenses).  When you register this program you will receive a letter confirming your registration that will include a code to remove the message "Unregistered Shareware" from the title bar.  E-mail and regular mail support will be free to registered users for one year.  Free upgrades will be made available to registered users when the upgrades fix bugs that effect functionality, for a full year after registration.  If a registered user has a problem with this program that effects functionality that we cannot correct, then a full refund of the registration fee will be offered.  To register please print and fill out the ORDER.DOC file, which can be printed from the Registration Info selection of the Help menu.


Definition of Shareware

     The following definition of Shareware is an excerpt from a file on Shareware provided by the Association of Shareware Professionals, prepared by Paul Mayer, author of GRAB Plus.

     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 to 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 in the license agreement.  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 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 its commercial or Shareware.  The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, 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.

     There are five different types of calendar events, these are: Annual, Monthly, Weekly, One Day & Year Only, and Multiple of Weekday.  Each type of event requires a different set of data to specify when the event occurs.  Data that is not required for a certain type of event is grayed and disabled.  The Annual event is used to specify an event such as a holiday that occurs once a year on a certain day of a specified month.  The Monthly event is used to specify an event that occurs monthly on a certain day of the month.  The Weekly event is used to specify an event that occurs weekly on a specified weekday.  The One Day & Year Only event specifies an event which only occurs one time on a certain month, day and year.  The Multiple of Weekday event specifies an event that occurs, for example, on the second monday of a certain month.
