T-Rex for Delphi by Prodigy Computing: What it Costs

Regular-Expression Based Textfile Parser for Delphi

Licensing Information

T-Rex is distributed as shareware. It is not in the "public domain". It is not free software. However, you do have the opportunity to try it for 90 days before you pay for it, so it costs you nothing to try it out.

A developer licence costs US$17.50 per developer workstation (or US$37.50 if you want the source code). Generous site licences are available.

This is a one-off fee: there are no royalties to pay.

The benefits of licensing the components are:

  1. Deployability. Without a developer licence, you can't deploy applications containing t_rex.dcu to end-user sites because the programs won't work. When we receive your licence form we will send you a licence number that will permit you to deploy unlimited copies of your programs.
  2. Support. Developer licensees get guaranteed support for 90 days. If T-Rex does not work on your system we will do our best to fix it so that it does work. We can't promise to make it work in all cases. If we can't fix the defect we will refund your fee.
  3. Nag-free usage. After your evaluation licence expires, the component will nag you to license it.

We accept the following forms of payment:

Credit cards: MasterCard and Visa. You will find a credit card authorization form in the helpfile.


Online registration on (SWREG 10907 and 10908).


Personal cheque or banker's draft in US dollars (drawn on a US bank). Or a personal cheque or Eurocheque in other currencies (but contact us first for payment instructions). Mail the order form that you will find in the helpfile along with your cheque.


Company purchase order for 4 copies (US$70) or more. We will invoice you in whatever currency your company wishes.


Secure online licensing, and immediate download of the source code, on the Web, using any credit card, at Albert's Ambry (with-source option -- US$37.50 -- only).
