first obtain written permission from the author.  A reasonable fee may be
charged for media, copying, and shipping and handling or for transmission time.

author, when contacted by U.S. mail, CompuServe mail, GEnie mail, or Internet,
will answer the user's questions concerning the use of PCCLOCK and will attempt
to correct any problem reported by the user that causes PCCLOCK to fail to
perform in the manner described in the user's guide.  If a reported problem is
due to the user's specific hardware configuration or software environment
rather than an error in PCCLOCK, or the problem cannot otherwise be corrected
by the author, the user may request and will receive a full refund of the
registration fee.

Shareware and the ASP
---------------------

Shareware is software you can try before you buy.  You are permitted to use it,
and you are generally free to copy it for others to use, on a trial basis.  If
you find it to your liking and continue to use it, you are expected to pay for
it.  Payment is in the form of a registration fee, which entitles you to
continue to use the software, and may entitle you to other benefits.  The
length of the trial period and any restrictions on copying and distribution of
the software vary depending on the author and program.

Shareware is generally of the same high quality as other software.  Plus it has
the ultimate money-back guarantee - if you don't use it, you don't pay for it.

The ASP, or Association of Shareware Professionals, is an organization of
shareware authors and distributors that promotes the shareware concept.  ASP
members are required to abide by established standards of professionalism, and
the ASP name and logo are your assurances that an author or distributor meets
these standards.

Shareware bearing the ASP name is fully functional, not a stripped-down or demo

                                Page 10
version, and all features of the program are described in the documentation, so
that you can fully evaluate the software before you pay for it.  All ASP
shareware includes support by the author for a minimum of three months after
user registration, and authors are required to fully refund registration fees
to users reporting problems during this period if the problems cannot be
resolved.  The ASP also helps resolve disputes between shareware users and
authors or distributors.

Look for the ASP name when choosing shareware.  And help ensure the
availability of quality software at reasonable prices by registering the
shareware programs you use.

This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works
for you.  If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP
member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP
Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
does not provide technical support for members' products.  Please write to the
ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442, or send a message via
CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
