You may not make modifications to or create new works derived from EcoPics images for the purpose of resale or distribution for monetary gain. While you can use the images in many different ways, you cannot resell them in any form as art. ****PRODUCT INFORMATION***** Image File Format - CGM, EPS The Computer Graphics Metafile CGM (for PC) and Encapsulated PostScript EPS (for Mac) file formats are two of the most popular graphic formats used in Macintosh and Windows applications. Being vector based formats, they can be easily resized, up or down, without effecting image quality (no "jaggies"). Since EcoPics' images are software dependent, you must already have a program that supports importing CGM or EPS files. Most Macintosh/Windows word processing, desktop publishing, and graphics (drawing) programs support CGM and EPS formats. *****PRODUCT SUPPORT***** If you are experiencing problems importing any of the EcoPics' images, we encourage you to contact the original publisher of your word processing, desktop publishing, or graphics program for assistance in resolving your problem.

ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536." *****DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE***** Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual. Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. *****LIMITED LIABILITY***** Crystal Graphics (N.J.) shall not be liable for any damages, including lost data, lost profits, or other incidental damages associated with use of the product. *****WORLDWIDE WEB SITE***** Check out our web site for the latest information about EcoPics. http://www.ecopics.com/~ecopics *****ASP Member***** Crystal Graphics is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP).
