WHAT IS PRECEDENT?
------------------
PRECEDENT ver 1.00 is a simple and effective 
program written by a lawyer to help busy 
lawyers.  It is a database which allows 
lawyers to enter, view, search and print 
indexes to their precedents (copies of 
documents prepared by the lawyer and kept 
for future reference eg contracts, leases 
etc). The program helps lawyers find their 
precedents fast.

The program is easy to use  There are help 
screens and a manual is provided - see PRE.DOC.  
The manual explains step by step how to get 
started. The program is based on a straightforward 
manual system that worked very well for decades 
before the coming of computers ie the system 
has proved itself. 

PRECEDENT VERSION 1.00 is SHAREWARE.  
This means you are free to copy it and 
give it to others.  However if you decide 
to use the program a once off registration 
fee of $30 (Thirty US Dollars) is payable.  
Registration details appear in the program 
and the manual.
