               User-supported software,  which is also known  as Shareware,
          is an experiment in  microcomputer software distribution based on
          The following principles:
           
               1. That  the value or worth  of a program is  best judged by
          the individual user using the program on his/her own machine.
           
               2.  That  the  creation and  distribution  of  microcomputer
          software  can be  financially  supported by  users at  reasonable
          cost.
           
               3.  That the copying and sharing of software can and is 
          encouraged. 
           
               Anyone may  request a  copy of  a user-supported  program by
          sending  a blank, formatted disk to the author of the program. An
          addressed, postage-paid return mailer must accompany the disk (no
          exceptions, please). A copy of the program, with documentation on
          the disk, will be sent  by return mail. The program will  carry a
          notice suggesting a contribution  to the program's author. Making
          a contribution is completely voluntary. 
           
               Free distribution of software  and voluntary payment for its
          use eliminates costs for advertising and copy protection schemes.
          Users  obtain quality software at  reduced cost. They  can try it
          out before buying, and do so at their own pace and in the comfort
          of their own home or office. The best programs will survive based
          purely on their quality and usefulness.
           
               Please join the experiment.  If you share a belief  in these
          principles,  your contribution  is  requested to  help make  this
          work.  Regardless of  whether you  make a  contribution,  you are
          encouraged to copy and share this program.
           
           
                                  PERMISSION TO COPY
           
               Individuals, clubs, and  other non-profit organizations  are
          granted permission by the authors to freely copy this program and
          documentation and share it with their members, so long as:

          1.  No  price  is  charged for  the  software  or  documentation.
          However, a distribution, copying  cost or charge for the  cost of
          the diskette, so long as it is not more than $6.00 total. 
           
          2.  Club  members be  informed  of  the user-supported  idea  and
          encouraged to support it with their donations. 
           
          3.  The program(s) or documentation  are not modified  in any way
          and they are distributed together.
