                             I M P O R T A N T                            
                                                         
       This 'CHECKOUT' BBS distributes software for the sole purpose      
     of testing prior to purchase.  You've 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 (more important) 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   
     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  then  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:      
                                                                          
     1) 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).   
                                                                          
     2) 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.       
                                                                          
     3) Upgrades:          With  buying  the  original program, you are   
                           entitled  to  low priced or free upgrades to   
                           new versions, bug fixes, and 'enhancements'.   
                                                                          
     4) Legality:          Using a program  without owning a registered   
                           copy is illegal.                               
                                                                          
     5) Control Of The     When  companies  who  create  good  products   
        Industry:          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' BBSs will continue 
     to make available products  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 
     (Norton, and a few others), but this does not remedy  the  situation 
     as the refund/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, that evaluating software releases prior to actual 
     purchase is still the best solution.                                 
                                                                          
  Remember...if you decide to use a product, you MUST buy it! 
                                                                          
    This BBS is a  non-profit  library  which  allows you to sample files 
    before purchasing them. Once you have seen what the  product is like, 
    either  purchase  the product, or remove it from any and all          
    disks/places of data storage.  Also note, that it is ILLEGAL to copy  
    software, and keep the copy, without buying the software.             
    Any uploads transfered to the BBS system, are those that the caller   
    chose to transfer their right and registration to the product to This 
    BBS.                                                                  
                                                                          
    The uploader takes responsibility for the software, as stated above.  
    Since the uploader had transfered the software, and all the rights    
    of the software to the BBS, he chooses them to  be made  available    
    as demos, to be distributed to those under the intention of fully     
    purchasing the software, or simply to use as a preview only to be     
    disliked, and therefore removed.                                      
                                                                          
    WARNING: If you plan on "pirating" this file and its contents, you    
    may be held accountable, and prosecuted.  Remove the files you        
    downloaded NOW from all data storage units, if this is your intention.
    Pirating refers to the act of keeping computer software that someone  
    else has purchased after you have previewed it, or if you copy the    
    software and distribute it to others.                                 
    Also, do not charge money or trade this software to ANYONE!
