About
What'sItWorthWare
Birthdays
and Such is shareware. Birthdays and Such is NOT a free or
public domain program.
What is
shareware?
1)
If you keep using it, you must pay for it
As
with most shareware, please try it for yourself for a day, a
week, a month. Unlike most shareware, however, Birthdays and
Such is What'sItWorthWare --user-determined pricing.
You decide what Birthdays and Such is worth. Then send a
money order or check (or even cash) with your name and
email address (for
a free copy of the bonus
application Birthdays and Such
Listmaker,
along with any updates) to:
Ron

What's
it worth to save your marriage? What's it worth to maintain
a relationship with your parents? OK, maybe Birthdays and
Such won't do that all by itself, but... :-)
International:
Your local check will cost more to cash in the U.S. than the
amount you write it for. Instead, send U.S. dollar bills. Or
visit your local friendly post office and purchase an
international money order in U.S.
dollars. Or send payments via
PayPal.com.)
Of
course, if you don't like it, drag it to the Trash and
you'll owe me nothing. But if you do continue to use it, you
do owe me a fee--it's just that with What'sItWorthWare, you
not only get to try the software before you pay for it, but
you also get to decide its value. I don't care whether the
amount you send is a dollar or a hundred dollars, provided
1) that you send me something, and 2) that what you send me
represents some semblance of what you believe it's
worth.
2)
If you like it, share it with your friends and
relatives
The
second aspect of shareware is that it gets distributed by
people who like it and use it-- sharing it with their
friends. I urge you to share it. Your
friends urge you to share it.
(OK, they would if they knew you had it, and how useful it
is to you.) Your friends deserve to know about the programs
that keep your life together. Give them a disk with
Birthdays and Such..., PopChar, The Tilery, TypeIt4Me,
SCSIProbe, Quoter, DOSWasher, and the other freeware
and shareware programs you couldn't do
without.
When
you do share Birthdays and Such, please keep it together
with the sample Reminders file (you may want to add your
birthday, so your friends are reminded of the most
important day
of the year! :-), the manual, the quick-start guide, and any
addendum or readme files, and pass them all on. You
must keep
the manuals with the program if you pass it on--that's the
second shareware requirement. (What was the first again? Oh,
right, paying the author...)
3)
Don't modify the package except to add your own
birthday(s)
The
third restriction is that you cannot modify the program or
manual in any way, sell it, or include it on a disk which is
sold without my prior written consent. With the exception
that not-for-profit clubs and user groups may charge a
nominal fee (not to exceed $10) for expenses while
distributing Birthdays and Such...
Make
a contribution, get a bonus
When
you send in a What'sItWorthWare contribution for Birthdays
and Such, along with your email address, I'll send you, by
return email, a free copy of the bonus
application, Birthdays and Such
Listmaker.
Listmaker is a small application that transforms your
Reminders file into a greeting card shopping list, complete
with birthday ages and anniversary years.
Thank
you in advance for keeping the What'sItWorthWare spirit
alive!
