#Shareware Survey
13 messages in this thread
I would like to take a quick survey:
1. What shareware/PD software do you use on a regular basis.
2. If some form of electronic registration and payment of shareware
software, like GO SWREG, were available for titles, do you think you would
register more shareware titles than you do now?
Thanks….

of sometimes :^)
2> Definately
….John
Michael,
1) AutoPilot; Term; AIBB; Sys Info.
2) No.

2) I would register far more if they were available in SWREG (as opposited to
your "like GO SWREG"). I am not one to be printing order forms, finding
envelopes, then a stamp, send a money order, etc., then wait for who knows who
long.
1) AlertPatch Magic Menu MMBCommodity MultiClock
PowerSnap ToolManager ARTM DiskSalv3
MegaD UUxT MUI WBStartupManager
Leggi VT VLT VirusChecker
lHa AutoPilot
(that's most of them at least)
2) Yah, very likely.

1. Term,AP,ScreenMenu,some printer drivers,soon a spooler,twin
express,geo_time.
2. Yes, particulary in the case of European pgms. Trying to deal with the mails
and currency problems are more than I want to do.

ToolManager, SCSImounter, VIM, MagicMenu, MagicWorkbench, DeskTopManager,
KingCON, PrintManager, PrinterManager, MultiOS, IconUpdate, AddInfo, Term,
ARQ, MousoMeter, StickIt2, LHA, VLT, VirusZ II, MUI.
I also use AP, DiskSalv3 and Diavolo, which I don't consider shareware but
commercial software, but just in case …
Yes, something like SWREG would make it practical to pay and register,
especially the cheaper ones, which end up taking too much effort, and
costing more trying to make the payment than the payment itself, when
they're outside the country the user lives in.

| | |ichael,
Why do you want to know? Here's my input anyway 🙂
1. That's easy, <looking into WBStartUp>:
FR_Bypass
Arq
CenterScreen
CycleToMenu
MagicMenu
PowerSnap
ToolManager
Upd
Starburst
ClickNot
2. I prefer a more traceable/accountable method for payment of shareware
(GO SWREG works for me) but I doubt that would change the number of
shareware products I go for. I've only had one bad experience with making
the shareware payment (for lha) but it has changed my entire attitude
about how I pay for shareware! Humm, now I think about it, I would
appreciate the convenience of electronic payment…

1. Print manager, viruschecker, powersnap, FracBlanker, switcher, Term,
sysinfo, screenx, ARTM, SnoopDOS, ARQ, Addmenu, and of course LHA.
2. Yes, very much so, especially with the European programs.

1. Registered Autopilot (not sure this is really shareware though),
AmiTCP, ParNet, stevie (vi clone), ToolManager, PowerSnap, lha
2. Yes! I used SWREG to register Autopilot. It is much easier than sending
foreign currency overseas and hoping it gets to its destination.

As for your second question, I find online shareware registration
convenient and attractive. I would be more enclined to register for
shareware if offered in electronic format.
Blaq!
