Recently I have upgraded several commercial packages--several Borland 
products, AskSam, Colorix VGA Paint.  In the past, I've either stored 
or thrown out old manuals/disks at upgrade time.  This time, I'm 
considering being a little more socially conscious.  

My question is, what is the propriety of giving these packages to some 
deserving and/or poor student or high school?  While some software I 
own specifically mentions destroying or returning old versions after 
ugrading (e.g. Duet v1.16), these packages do not.

Also, what could I tell the recipients about support?

Thanks in advance.

John Garland
