About The Shareware Solutions II Library
Shareware Solutions II is a general interest Apple II
newsletter that has a strong focus on Apple II freeware,
shareware and public domain software. In each issue of the
newsletter, there appear two related articles about these
categories of software..."Shareware Solutions IIe/IIc/IIgs"
and "Shareware Solutions IIGS."
All of the programs and disks that are written about in
those Shareware Solutions articles are available via the
mail. This file describes all software to date that is
available from the Shareware Solutions II Library. (Please
note that this stack will be updated several times a year.)
In addition, Shareware Solutions has a license with Apple
Computer Inc to distribute disks of Apple's copyrighted
software, including the ProDOS System Software for Apple IIe
and IIc computers, GS/OS, the Operating System for the IIGS,
and HyperCard for the IIGS. That license only applies to the
software; no written documentation is provided with Apple
System Software. Apple System Software is also available
from the Shareware Solutions II Library, with one very
important caveat - Shareware Solutions II is only authorized
to distribute Apple System Software to subscribers of the
Shareware Solutions II newsletter!
Public Domain software is provided with no strings attached.
It is not copyrighted, and there are no restrictions placed
upon it. You can freely modify the software, incorporate it
into another program, or do whatever you want with it.
You'll know if a program is public domain if there is not a
copyright notice when you first run it.
Freeware Software is similar to public domain software, but
with one major difference; freeware is copyrighted by the
author of the software. In essence, the author grants
Shareware Solutions II a license to distribute the freeware,
and gives you a license to freely use it.
Shareware software is copyrighted, and when you first run a
shareware program, you'll see a notice that says that you're
free to try out the software for a limited period of time,
and at the end of that trial period, you're asked to send a
shareware fee directly to the author of the software. In
most cases, that fee is just $5 or $10. Upon payment of that
fee, some shareware authors may send you a note of thanks,
some may send you printed documentation, some may send you a
disk with other software on it, and some may send you
nothing. Shareware Software is "honor system software." You
are not obligated to pay shareware fees if you don't like
the software, or if it doesn't work quite right on your
system. But, if you do like a shareware program and continue
to use it after the limited trial period, please send the
shareware fee directly to the author of the software.
The fee charged by Shareware Solutions II for these disks is
just a shipping and handling fee, to cover the costs
incurred to acquire the software and to cover the cost of
disks, mailers, and postage. You are still obligated to pay
shareware fees.
Shareware Solutions II believes in providing just as much
software as possible on each disk, and in providing
instructions and in making each disk easy to use. All
software has been screened to make sure it works and that it
is free of any type of computer virus. Due to the many
models of Apple II computers, and due to the many different
configurations of RAM memory, Shareware Solutions II cannot
guarantee that all software will work on all computers.
Where there are special requirements, they are generally
noted. Some programs require a joystick, some require large
amounts of RAM memory, and some may not work with Apple II
"clones."
All disks acquired from Shareware Solutions II are
guaranteed to be free of any virus. Additionally, all disks
are guaranteed for 30 days so that if disks are damaged in
the mail, they will be replaced free of charge. Simply
return any damaged disk to Shareware Solutions II, and it
will be replaced, no questions asked.
Upon receipt of a disk from the Shareware Solutions II
Library, please confirm that it was not damaged in the mail,
and please copy the disk and store the original in a safe
place.
Generally, software for the Apple IIe/IIc are available on
either 3.5" or 5.25" disks, except when specifically noted,
and it is therefore important for you to specify what disk
size you prefer.
