----------------------------- SHAREWARE EDITION  -----------------------------
This is the Shareware (Guest) Edition of SLIM SHOW 3 (release 3.3.1) software. 
You may use it for the purpose of evaluation only. You should not distribute 
any multimedia projects made with this software.

The Shareware (Guest) Edition contains all the features in the 
Personal/Enterprise Edition of SLIM SHOW 3 software except that:

(1). It allows you to save small projects (projects with 25 or fewer nodes) 
     only. You can still create, edit, run, and make (into final EXE files) 
     full size projects. But if you wish to save a project for later use, only 
     the first 25 nodes in the project will be saved.

(2). When running a multimedia project (EXE file) made with it, a window will 
     pop out at the end of the show saying that the project may not be 
     distributed.
