                     ========================
                                 


"PED4DOS"  is  a  programmable editor designed for  searching  and
replacing complex character strings in ASCII text or binary  files
according  to  a  search program; it is not  a  full  screen  text
editor!



This  version of "PED4DOS" is NOT public domain or free  software,
but  is  being distributed as "shareware" for EVALUATION  PURPOSES
ONLY.  Your use of this Software indicates your agreement  to  the
terms and conditions of this License.



                   COPYRIGHT, PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
                   -----------------------------
                                 
"PED4DOS"  is  owned by Software-Quelle GmbH and is  protected  by
copyright  laws and international treaty provisions. You  may  not
reverse  engineer, decompile, disassemble, or modify any  part  of
"PED4DOS" except the samples. You may not disclose any information
regarding the internal operations of "PED4DOS" to others.



                        USAGE RESTRICTIONS
                        ------------------
                                 
Software-Quelle  GmbH  grants you a limited  license  to  use  the
SHAREWARE VERSION of "PED4DOS" during a 21-days evaluation  period
for  the  express purpose of determining whether the "PED4DOS"  is
suitable  for  your  needs. At the end of this 21-days  evaluation
period,  you  must either purchase a license from  Software-Quelle
GmbH   for  continued  use  of  "PED4DOS",  or  discontinue  using
"PED4DOS".



NOTE:

The SHAREWARE VERSION of P4D.EXE shows a shareware reminder screen
at startup time and doesn't edit more than the first 1500 bytes of
any input file.



If you want to edit files of any size, you must purchase a license
for the use of "PED4DOS".



After  registration of your license you receive a license  number,
which  enables  you to create a licensed version of  P4D.EXE.  The
licensed version of P4D.EXE

*      edits input files of any size,
*      does  NOT  show  the shareware reminder screen  at  startup
       time.


For further information see " ORDERING INFORMATION" below.
