| Description |
| Let's assume you need a custom software utility or application, and you're looking for an affordable solution, or you just prefer to develop it yourself. You probably have scarce programming skills, or you just want to expand your skills without need to memorize and type in a lot of keywords, special symbols and lengthy identifiers used in conventional program codes. A-Flow addresses these problems while enabling software developers to focus right on their objective: to make different pre-made design units to work together in order to achieve your needs. Most of the time, instead of writing code you build flowcharts consisting of icons by using a point-and-click approach. You also eventually work with objects by using a set of specialized editors that display objects in the most suitable form enabling you to visually manage assorted application contents. This way you might deal, for instance, with graphic images, arithmetic expressions or database queries represented by objects. There's little or no need to write any code at all. The advantage here over writing plain code can be compared to the advantage of using Windows itself over using an old-fashioned DOS command line environment. While it may sound like A-Flow is just an experimental tool, it is actually a mature production tool based on strong but simple software engineering principles. A-Flow generates full-scale Windows executables (.exe files). A comprehensive context-sensitive help file is available, along with several application samples, which demonstrate some advanced techniques. A-Flow provides explicit support for strong data manipulation, windows, controls, graphics, multimedia, databases, sockets, Ole Automation and more. If these tools aren't enough, a comprehensive add-on programming interface is available, allowing users familiar with other tools to extend A-Flow towards meeting almost any domain-specific requirements. |

| A-Flow v.3.50. The software product identified above (SOFTWARE) is the intellectual property of its author: Alexey Protasov (AUTHORS) and is protected by international and maybe their respective national copyright laws in your country. Copyright ¿ 2001-2003 AUTHORS. All rights reserved. The SOFTWARE is licensed, not sold. You (either an individual or a single entity) acquire some specific rights in respect of the SOFTWARE granted to you by the applicable non-exclusive License Agreement (LA) provided below. By installing, copying, running or otherwise using the SOFTWARE or any portion of it, you accept to be bound by all of the terms and conditions established by the LA. AUTHORS reserve all other rights not expressly granted to you by the LA. Any other use (i.e. unauthorized) of the SOFTWARE or any portion of it is in violation of the LA and will imply its automatic and immediate termination. There are two versions of the SOFTWARE: evaluation (UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE) and registered (REGISTERED SOFTWARE). The LA provides terms applicable solely to one of these versions, as well as common terms applicable to the same extent to both versions. For the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE, a time-limited license is FREE. Please contact AUTHORS to find out how much is the registration fee and how to REGISTER your copy of the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE. Upon confirmation of your payment, you will be sent via email, FTP or by whatever other software distribution method your REGISTERED SOFTWARE license, your Personal Activation Code (PAC) and/or a copy of the REGISTERED SOFTWARE (contact AUTHORS). A single license grants you the following rights: You may make as many copies of the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE as you wish and freely redistribute to third parties such copies by any means, provided that you redistribute the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE as a whole, in its original, unmodified form and you do not charge or request donations for this (maybe except for small amounts covering media and copy expenses should such expenses be applicable). You may install and run the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE on any number of computers (workstations), provided that you install and run the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE during the EVALUATION period and for EVALUATION purposes only. You may run, copy or otherwise use the applications you create with the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE, provided that you use them for EVALUATION purposes only. The UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE license is time-limited. You may use the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE during an EVALUATION period only. The EVALUATION period is limited by the amount of time you need to decide whether to REGISTER your copy of the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE or stop using the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE. The EVALUATION period shall not exceed 120 days since you first installed the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE on your computer (workstation). You may still use the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE for personal, self-educational purposes if you are a student or professor at a college or university (contact AUTHORS). A single license grants you the following rights: You may make any number of copies of the REGISTERED SOFTWARE and install the REGISTERED SOFTWARE on any number of computers (workstations), provided that you do not let third parties run, copy or otherwise use the REGISTERED SOFTWARE. (You may copy the REGISTERED SOFTWARE for BACKUP purposes only). You may transfer all the rights granted by this LA to a third party either on a temporary or permanent basis, provided that you charge no fee. (You may not resell or lease the rights granted by this LA). You may run the REGISTERED SOFTWARE on a single computer (workstation) at a time. You acquire all legal rights on the applications you create with the REGISTERED SOFTWARE. Such applications are not subject to the LA. You have the same rights on applications you may have created with the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE during the EVALUATION period, provided that you have a REGISTERED SOFTWARE license. You may freely redistribute with no fee due to AUTHORS those files that are determined in the SOFTWARE accompanying materials as REDISTRIBUTABLE, provided that you redistribute them as a whole, in an unmodified form and with all copyright notices retained. You are specifically prohibited from redistributing copies of the REGISTERED SOFTWARE or any portion of it (except as provided by the LA) or any other information accompanying your REGISTERED SOFTWARE license, such as your PAC, if any, to third parties for any purpose. Intentional violation of this term will imply immediate and automatic termination of your LA. In case such redistribution took place without your direct participation (e.g. the SOFTWARE was stolen), you should immediately notify AUTHORS about the incident. You are specifically prohibited from running the REGISTERED SOFTWARE in a distributed computing environment, such as local area network, where users of various workstations connected to the network could access interactively the REGISTERED SOFTWARE, even when running on a dedicated server node (application sharing). If you need that various employees of your organization be able to use the REGISTERED SOFTWARE simultaneously, you should purchase as many licenses as needed. Note that quantity discounts may be available (contact AUTHORS). You MAY NOT use the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE for COMMERCIAL purposes. You are specifically prohibited from using applications you have created with the UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE for COMMERCIAL purposes unless you have purchased a REGISTERED SOFTWARE license. The application you create with the SOFTWARE DOES NOT include REDISTRIBUTABLE files, which constitute portion of the SOFTWARE. You merely redistribute them as provided by the LA. When redistributing the REDISTRIBUTABLE files, your customers have the same rights and are imposed the same restrictions as you. This includes prohibition of reverse engineering and limitation of AUTHOR's liability for damage. You should make your customers aware of the fact that your application has been created with the aid of the SOFTWARE and that the REDISTRIBUTABLE files are subject to certain restrictions. You MAY NOT reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or modify executable files, dynamic link libraries or any other binary files, which make up the SOFTWARE. This includes any copyright notices as well as object code and resources incorporated in the files and implies using run-time debuggers, development tools or other similar means. You may freely use sample project files as parts of your own projects (applications). Sample files are provided for educational purposes and may serve as starting points for your own applications. For the REGISTERED SOFTWARE, upgrades are FREE within the same major version number. When you acquire a REGISTERED SOFTWARE license, you agree to be subscribed to the registered users mailing list. The sole purpose of this mailing list is to announce and distribute future SOFTWARE releases and add-ons. AUTHORS will never give your email address to third parties unless the applicable law requires it. ALTHOUGH AUTHORS HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO ENSURE THE ROBUST AND STABLE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SOFTWARE AND ITS CONFORMITY TO THE ACCOMPANYING ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION, THE SOFTWARE AND ANY RELATED MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED"AS IS"WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NONINFRINGEMENT. YOU USE THE SOFTWARE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. IN NO EVENT SHALL AUTHORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, DATA LOSS, LOSS OF PROFITS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF LOSS ARISING OUT OF USE (OR MISUSE) OF THE SOFTWARE. The SOFTWARE is not meant to be fault-tolerant and is not designed, manufactured, or intended for use in such applications as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or communication systems, air traffic control, direct life support machines, or weapons systems, in which the failure of software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (High-Risk Activities). AUTHORS specifically disclaim any express or implied warranty of fitness for High-Risk Activities. |
