I came across this on (~shudder~) IBMPC-L and thought the Info-Mac folks might enjoy it:

The following is a very brief summary of the Shareware Author & User
Case Study. Copyright 1994, by Daniel Corbier. All rights reserved.
Answers are based on survey responses from shareware users, and
The following file discusses my proposal for the development of a
Shareware_faq for the internet Macintosh community. The FAQ is not intended
to be a pointer to the LATEST versions of software, nor is it geared to the
well-weathered or experienced Macintosh user. Rather, it is a starting point
to the new-users that are introduced to Internet, that might be somewhat
intimidated by the volume and size of sumex-aim or mac.archive. Finding
files on internet is no problem, but sometimes finding 'good' or popular
files is more challenging.
Please read the following article carefully, and do not hesitate to put
forward any recommendations or suggestions pertinent to this file's
development. I apologize if you feel this mail is unwarranted, and if
you are offended I recommend that you delete the mail and send me a nasty
note in response. Thank you in advance for your time, and I look forward
to any response you might have.

Finder if there is a (normal) Finder and it is running, or starting
it if it is not running. ShortFinder uses about one-seventh the disk
space of a regular System 7 Finder, and runs in far less RAM. This
report shows how ShortFinder can be used as a Finder substitute on a
high-density floppy disk to make a System 7 emergency disk.
--------------------------------------------------
One can use ShortFinder without changing its name, creator, or type
in addition to or in place of the regular Finder. It is obvious how
to use it, and why one might want to use it, in addition to a
regular Finder on a hard disk. It can also be used unmodified in
place of a Finder on a floppy startup disk. To do this the System
