CONTRACT BRIDGE is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the
user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do
not give it away altered or as part of other software. The essence of "user-
supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers
to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful, and
find that you are continuing to use CONTRACT BRIDGE after a reasonable trial
period, you must make a registration payment to the author. The registration
fee will license ONE COPY for use on any ONE COMPUTER at any ONE TIME.

Anyone distributing CONTRACT BRIDGE for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Robert Lindsay Wells at the address above for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized
by the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin
offering CONTRACT BRIDGE immediately (However Robert Lindsay Wells must
still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
latest version of CONTRACT BRIDGE).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of CONTRACT BRIDGE along to your friends
for evaluation, with the understanding that anyone who continues to use the
game is required to register it. All of the included files MUST be included
when distributing this program. If you archive the program for distribution
through BBS's, please use the name BRIDGE20.ZIP (where the digits 20 would
represent the current version of the game, and the PKZIP format is used).

                          --- INCLUDED FILES ---

The following files are included in each CONTRACT BRIDGE release:

              BRIDGE.EXE  The CONTRACT BRIDGE game program

              BRIDGE.TXT  This file (describing registration)

The best place to find the latest release of CONTRACT BRIDGE is through

an E-Mail message to WellsCom@aol.com.

                         --- REGISTRATION ---

                      --- DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY ---

This software is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties,
expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no
liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the
use of CONTRACT BRIDGE. Any liability of the seller is limited exclusively
to product replacement or the refund of the registration fee.

                     --- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE ---

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. With registration, you get anything
from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program
with printed manual. Your support of the Shareware system allows talented
programmers to continue to bring you entertaining and useful programs at
greatly reduced cost.
