ECHO ÿ ECHO ÿ ECHO NATIONAL SOFTWARE LABS is dedicated to bringing you the best public domain ECHO and Shareware programs available. A great deal of time and effort goes into ECHO the acquisition, selection and testing of programs. Our goal is to offer you ECHO the best and newest programs in each category. ECHO ÿ ECHO The fee we charge for distributing the programs in the NSL Library covers the ECHO cost of our efforts. The program authors do not receive any part of that fee. ECHO ÿ ECHO SHAREWARE is software which is provided to you to "try before you buy." It is ECHO not free software. Shareware authors request registration fees from those who ECHO try their programs and decide they will continue to use the programs. Because ECHO shareware authors do not have to pay the high cost of advertising, the fees ECHO they charge for registration are modest compared to the prices you would pay ECHO for comparable programs marketed commercially. Shareware is a real bargain. ECHO ÿ ECHO Shareware authors deserve to be compensated for the hard work they put into ECHO the programs you benefit from. In many cases your registration fee provides you ECHO with extras like printed manuals, telephone support, update service, etc. In ECHO addition, only your support can maintain the Shareware concept as a viable ECHO alternative to paying high prices for commercial software.
