        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.

      This BBS is a  non-profit  system, which  allows you to sample  files   
      before purchasing it.   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!
