I M P O R T A N T

This  "checkout" BBS distributes software for the sole purpose of testing prior
to  purchase.   You have 24 hours to try the software and determine that 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 products by the way the  program
"looks"  on  the box and have been extremely disappointed - and have  therefore
wasted  their money and time.  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 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 program is for evaluation only.  If
you  like  this  product,  go to your local computer  store  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 program).

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  buying  the  original  program, you are entitled to low  priced  or  free
upgrades to new versions, bug fixes, and enhancements.

Legality

Using a program 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 recently have 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.
