Thank you for downloading SIM. You have 30 days to test SIM.


What is SIM ?

SIM is a very Simple Information Manager. With this Simple Information 
Manager you can bring order in your ideas. You can save information 
orderly and easily retreive it again.


Shareware

SIM is a Shareware program. This version of SIM, as you downloaded 
or copied it from CD-ROM, is a demo version. This demo version is 
fully functional for a period of 30 days. After 30 days the 
functionality will decrease until at last SIM will not function any more.

You can always register to obtain your personal registered version
of SIM. The registered version will regain full functionality and 
keep it forever ! You may always download the newest versions and you 
will be notified when new versions are published.
To register follow the instructions below or in the help file.
