LICENSE TERMS

Both MGUI library and MGUI Designer are supplied in this kit as 
FREEWARE-SHAREWARE.
They are Copyrighted, but you can freely copy and/or distribute them, provided
that:

- The original compressed archive is kept.
- No change is made in any file in the archive.
- No charge is requested to the recipient.

This license allows you to create FREEWARE applications and to distribute
them (binary only is also permitted) with any needed file in the kit (like
arrow bitmaps). Your program description must inform the end user that it
uses MGUI library and must also indicate a site where the user can download
MGUI.
If your FREEWARE program requires a customization in the initial message
shown by the program at startup, you can contact me.

A program that uses an unregistered version of MGUI cannot be used for
commercial or business purposes, as noted by the program itself with the
initial message.

If you want to realize commercial applications with MGUI, you must register
your copy. In addition, the registered user achieves:

- possibility to change the program's initial message
- notification (via e-mail) about MGUI updates
- a greater attention in the reported bugs


REGISTRATION

The following conditions apply only to single users, not Software House nor
Companies.
Registration only implies the activation, with a password provided by the
author, of the 'register' program, which customizes the initial message.
The MGUI library and MGUI Designer are not crippled in any way.
Below the customized message string, the program will show, at startup, the
MGUI library version and your license number.
To use an updated version you don't have to register again, unless the major
release number increases (i.e. 1.x.x -> 2.x.x). Simply download the new version
and use it with the activated old 'register' program (make backup copies!).
The initial message custumized with your licensed 'register' program cannot be
changed by another registered user.

MGUI is not an utility nor a single program, rather it's a development tool that
permits the creation of cross-platform applications.
Commercial products offering similar features, with a better documentation,
normally cost several thousand dollars.

Registration implies a payment for each desired platform library.

- Windows (3.1 + Win32)		$ 100
- Linux X11			$  90
- DOS DJGPP			$  90
- DOS BGI			$  80


HOW TO REGISTER MGUI

Currently I can only accept money via a bank transaction, you should first
contact me, with e-mail, to know my bank id number or to suggest another
payment method.

Start the 'register' program from the '*bin' directory for each
desired platform ('bgi_bin', 'djg_bin', 'win_bin' or 'bin') and save the
shown 'registration key'.

IMPORTANT:
The 'registration key' is calculated by the register program the first time
you execute it, and changes if you execute it from a newly extracted copy!
The 'activation key' I supply is related to the 'registration key' and will
NOT work on a new copy of the 'register' program, so you *must* make backup
copies of this program when you decide to register MGUI.

Then you should do the payment and notify me:
- your name, mail and e-mail addresses
- the payment amount (example: L.280,000 or $180 for Linux + DJGPP)
- the 'registration keys' for each desired platform

When I'll receive the payment, I'll reply with the 'activation keys' and license
numbers.

To activate a 'register' program, simply start it and type in the corresponding
activation key (six hexadecimal two digits numbers, separated by a blank).
