1.0    GENERAL

1.1    Minimum system requirements

       BlueBook requires an IBM-compatible PC with VGA graphics
       running any operating system that runs MS-DOS programs.
       It uses conventional memory only (approximately 480k, plus
       any memory required for whatever file viewer program is
       used).

       The only files you really MUST have to run BlueBook are
       "BlueBook.Exe" and "BBMain.Exe".

       BBmain.Exe should preferably be placed in a directory in
       your PATH (see section 3.3).

       The following programs and files are used by BBMain, and
       should also be copied (or moved) into a directory in your
       Path:

           BBView.Com
           BlueBook.Hlp
           BlueBook.Doc

       All the rest are support files and utility programs, and
       are not actually essential.

       ----------------------------------------------------------
       BlueBook makes NO changes to your system files.

1.2    License conditions

       BlueBook version 1 is copyrighted freeware.

       You are permitted to install and run it wherever you like
       without charge, and to distribute it, also without charge
       (except for normal shareware distribution costs), to anyone
       you wish, the only other conditions being (1) that you do
       not disassemble, reverse-engineer, or otherwise modify the
       package in any way, and (2) that you distribute the WHOLE
       package (60 files).

       If you wish to include BlueBook version 1 as part of any
       added value package or other commercial offer, that's fine,
       provided you do not charge for it separately or as part of
       a bundle.

       In short, with those provisos, we WANT you to copy and
       distribute it: as "payment", if you like, for the package.

       ----------------------------------------------------------
       Note:  The Enhanced Version 2 is NOT FreeWare, and normal
              restrictions apply.
       ----------------------------------------------------------

       (With that legal stuff out of the way, we don't think you
       actually will have any problems!)
