demo version

1. An early, barely-functional version of a program which

can be used for demonstration purposes as long as the operator

uses *exactly* the right commands and skirts its numerous

bugs, deficiencies, and unimplemented portions.

2. A special version of a finished program (frequently with

some features crippled) which is distributed at little or no

cost to the user for enticement purposes. See crippleware.
