Legal Agreement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a legal agreement between you and ChaoSoft. By using the
software you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this
agreement.

Grant of license.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ChaoSoft grants to you the right to use the Software under the
terms of this agreement. The software is in "use" on a computer
when it is loaded into the temporary memory (i.e., RAM) of that
computer. Use of an Unregistered Copy of the Software after the
evaluation period, or use of a Registered Copy, registered to
anybody else except you (or, for site license arrangements, to
your organization), is in violation of federal copyright laws.

Copyright.
~~~~~~~~~
The software is owned by ChaoSoft and is protected by United
States copyright laws and international treaty provisions.
Therefore, you must treat the Software like any other copyrighted
material except that a limited right to make copies of the
Software, subject to conditions of this license agreement, is
granted to you. You may not copy any written or printed materials
from your Registration Package and you may not rent or lease the
Software.

Evaluation Period.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may use an Unregistered Copy of the Program for evaluation
period of up to 21 days. This period may be not a contiguous
sequence of days. However, you should count a day as an evaluation
day if you used the Program during that day at least once. The
purpose of this evaluation period is to allow you to determine
whether the program meets your needs before purchasing it.  Once
the evaluation period has ended, you agree to either purchase your
copy of the Program through registration, or to stop using it.  If
you have sent your registration fee to us, you may continue to use
your Unregistered Copy beyond the end of the evaluation period
until your Registration Package arrives.

Registering the Program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To register the Software, you should send your name, address, and
correct amount of registration fee to us or one of our
registration sites. You can use various registration forms
supplied with the documentation to the Software. After getting
your Registration Package from us, containing the Registration
Code assigned to you,  you may use that number to convert your
Unregistered Copy of the Software into Registered one. You agree
to keep the Registration Code for your own use only and not to
share it with anybody else.

Multi-User and Network Use.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you registered the Software for use by multiple users,  you
agree not to use the Program on more computers than the number
specified in your site license. You may install the Program on
computers attached to a network, or remove it from one computer
and install it on a different one, provided there is NO
POSSIBILITY that your copy will be installed or used on more
computers than it is licensed for.  If you have a network, you
don't need to include every computer attached to the network in
your license, but you must include every computer on which the
Program is installed or used, regardless of whether the user of
the computer happens to know that the Program is in use on their
system.  If you have single computers which allow multiple users
to use the Program simultaneously, you must count each keyboard or
terminal separately when determining how many computers are using
the Program.

Making and Distributing Unregistered Copies of the Program.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may make as many copies of the Program as you wish, give them
to others, upload them to any BBS or FTP site worldwide, include
them in software collections such as CD-ROM disks, distribute them
through Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution, and
distribute them in any other possible way, as long as you:

-  do not share your Registration Number with anyone else and do
   not make copies of any printed materials from your Registration
   Package, if the copy you use is a Registered Copy;

-  include all of the UNMODIFIED files, as listed in the
   PACKING.LST file included with your copy. If any of the files
   or the PACKING.LST file itself is missing, you should contact
   us, or the dealer you obtained the Program from, to receive the
   complete set of files;

-  agree not to sell the Unregistered Copies of the Program or
   distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee
   (small shipping and handling fees are OK), unless you are an
   ASP approved Vendor or you have received written permission
   from us; and your permission to distribute the Program has not
   been revoked by us;

-  agree to inform the user(s) that the Unregistered Copy is to be
   used for a time limited evaluation period, and that it must be
   registered to continue to use the Program once the evaluation
   period has ended;

-  do not bundle the Program with any other software without our
   written permission.

Other restrictions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the
Software. You are not allowed to make any modifications to, or to
create derivative works from any of the files that are used in
this software. This includes all the executable, help,
installation, and documentation files, as well as graphics images.
Any such unauthorized use shall result in immediate and automatic
termination of this license.

LIMITED WARRANTY:  The following limited warranty applies to
Registered Copies of the Program. This warranty does NOT apply to
Unregistered Copies of the Program.

Satisfaction Guarantee.  If you are dissatisfied with any product
you buy from us under this Agreement for any reason, you may
return it at any time up to 30 days after purchase and we will
give you a refund. Refunds will be based on the price you paid,
with shipping costs excluded.  You must contact us before
returning any product for a refund. This satisfaction guarantee
does not apply to multi-system licenses for more than 10
computers, or to purchases of more than 10 individual copies at a
time.

Physical Defects.  We pledge that the disks, if any, and any
printed material we send you will arrive free of physical defects
which interfere with normal use. If you find such a defect and
report it to us within 30 days after you get your Registration
Package, we agree to replace the defective item(s) at no charge to
you as long as the defect was not caused by misuse or abuse.

Bugs and Program Errors.  We don't promise that the Software will
be free of bugs or program errors, and you agree that bugs or
program errors will not be considered as "physical defects" in the
program. We agree that if you report a program error or bug to us,
we will use our best efforts to correct it.  We also agree that if
we can verify and correct the error you report, and we then issue
a bug-fix release for the Program which includes the correction,
we will allow you to update your copy of the Program at no charge
if you request it.  However we will only do this for minor
releases, not for new major releases or other new versions of the
Program.
