I. 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 ar e 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 specifi c 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. A nd 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.
II. DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of Painless Companion must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Painless Companion is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for an y purpose. The
author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
which may result from the use of Painless Companion."
Painless Companion is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another
system. The essence of "user-supported" software i s to provide
personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and
yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new
products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using
Painless Companion and continue to use Painless Companion after a
reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of
$45.00 to Painless Accounting. The $45.00 registration fee will
license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time, and you
will receive a printe d manual. You must treat this software just
like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any
number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to
another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one
location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be
read by two different persons at the same time.
PAGE 1
Commercial users of Painless Companion must register and pay for their
copies of Painless Companion within 30 days of first use or their
license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by
contacting Painless Accounting.
Anyone distributing Painless Companion for any kind of remuneration
must first contact Painless Accounting at the address below for
authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to
distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
Painless Companion immediately (However Painless Accounting must still
be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
latest version of Painless Companion.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of Painless Companion along to your
friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy
if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive
a copy of the latest version of the Painless Companion system, and a
printed manual.

will be displayed for sorting. When the graph is generated, it will be
sorted by this selection. Next you must select the X-axis. It will

each element graphed. For example, if you are graphing your expense
accounts, and select account number for the X-axis, for each account
graphed the account number will be displayed along the bottom.
You can then select up to five Y-axis, these can only be numeric
fields. For example, if you are graphing your expense accounts, and

you generate a pie chart. In this case only the first Y-axis will be
graphed. To save the graph press F10.

being a solid bar.
You must also specify where you want the graph to be sent. You may
send it to the screen, printer, or to a file. If you select screen
