Emulations include Ustar by Kurt Wessels, VI by Eric Kennedy, and EDT by Kent McPherson. These emulate WordStar (tm), the Unix vi (tm) editor, and the DEC Gold Key (tm) editor. Refresh Policy If you own the current upgrade, you are encouraged to ask for a "refresh" a few months after you received the upgrade, so that you will have the final, fixed, improved release. No new upgrade is perfect on the first release. Not only are bugs a fact of life in the world of software and fixes are put in after each new upgrade comes out, but also some of the best enhancements are put in AFTER the initial upgrade comes out. (User feedback is why.) You can get a "refresh" anytime by sending $3 or your Uedit disk and sase. Sharing Uedit You can give people a copy of the Shareware Uedit. When you give away copies, you must observe the following restrictions: *** You must distribute ALL of Uedit's Shareware files together. These are in the Shareware directory of the Uedit disk. *** You must NOT MODIFY any of those files except for putting your serial number into UES. *** You must NOT distribute copies of UE or the printed or disk Manual or Uedit's command language documentation or spell-checking materials. You may distribute ONLY the Shareware directory and must NOT distribute any file that is in the Private directories. *** You MUST use Uedit COPYRIGHT notices on Uedit files. *** You MUST use Uedit TRADEMARK notices on "Uedit". You may include your own files along with Uedit, put files on several disks, distribute files via modem, or compress files, as long as their contents remain unchanged. You may print, copy, and distribute the Help! and other text files in the Shareware directory. Please encourage others to try Uedit. In distributing it and encouraging new registrations, you will be supporting good programming for Amiga Shareware. And your feedback is important too. Most of the improvements in Uedit since the beginning have been in response to feedback from its users. Revision Numbering When a new version comes out, the old version number is incremented by 0.1. Thus, if the current version is V2.4a, the next true upgrade will be V2.5a. When bugs are fixed in a version, the release letter is incremented. Thus if 2.4a has bugs, the fixed release is 2.4b. If you own a version such as V2.4a and bugs are found in it and a V2.4b is released, you may get V2.4b by sending in $3 or your V2.4a disk, a self addressed mailer, and postage. About Shareware Shareware is a generous, trusting concept which treats you like an honest person, rather than presuming that you are not, as, for instance, copy protection does. Some think that shareware is only for beginners and that any good program would go commercial. Wrong! Shareware exists because of its values. Successful shareware programs have got to be superior, because you get to try them out thoroughly at home or in the office before buying them. Many commercial programs would not survive this acid test. You are allowed to try out a Shareware program for as long as you require, in order to decide whether you are going to use it or not. When "trying" becomes "using", you are obliged to buy the program. Only then does the Shareware author get paid for his work and expenses for creating and supporting the program you are using. Uedit relies on: * Your honesty. * Your cooperation in safeguarding Uedit by not distributing its private files. * Your help in finding new customers. Thank you for your support!
