Ultimate Software, allow computer users to try out a program before buying
it.  Computer users can obtain a shareware copy of HOME STRETCH (or other
shareware programs) for no-charge from a BBS or a friend, or for a small

find a shareware program to be useful and plan to continue using it after an
