Tiivistelmä:The authors observe the behaviour of 37 authgors of shared (i.e. non-commercial) software for the Apple Newton in terms of multiplex commitment and the helping behaviours directed at these multiple related targets. The behaviour of these shared software authors show a pattern of commitment to related targets consistent with the expectations of multiplex commitment and relationships to two helping behaviours (the number of shared software programs produced, and the degree of sacrifice expected with that shard software). The related targets of commitment were the users of the software, other shared software authors, and the newsgroup that served the electronic social exchange system, but not the FTP site that enabled the exchange or the Listserv that served as an additional electronic social exchange system.
