Registration

`ChkTeX' is made available under the concept of Gift-Ware, which is a variant of Share-Ware. Share-Ware software authors often release `crippled' versions of their products, i.e. these programs do not support the same functionality as the registered versions you get when sending monetary contributions to the authors. It all comes down to `pay for the software you are using' in Share-Ware terms. With Gift-Ware registration it is different, you are not required to contribute money, but a gift will do. With `ChkTeX' you always get a fully functional program, there is no `crippled' test release which you can try for a limited time and then have to pay for in order to receive the working registered version.

It may seem as if `ChkTeX' was free, but this is not the case. Although there is no need to pay the author in order to get a fully functional version of the program you should consider making a contribution. You don't need to feel guilty if you cannot or do not want to give me something in return for the work I have put into `ChkTeX'. Show me that it was worth spending so much time listening to users, updating, rewriting and enhancing this program. Your contributions will provide the motivation for me to keep developing the program.
