These files replace all previous versions of the same program(s). Copyright Information All Eric Blanke programs, shareware and freeware, are protected under the copyright laws of the United States and foreign countries. All rights are reserved to Eric Blanke. Violations of copyright laws are investigated by the FBI. Distribution of Eric Blanke products implies that you have read and agreed to the distribution terms described below. Eric Blanke makes test orders from time to time to verify compliance with its distribution terms. Distributor Information and License Information The license information and distribution requirements in this document supercede all previous license statements. To continue to distribute Eric Blanke products, you must adhere to the licensing and distribution requirements below. If you are a mail order or BBS-type distributor of shareware software, you may distribute these programs as they are, without any changes other than expanding files contained in the ZIP archives. However, you have a responsibility to check from time to time, at a minimum interval of 6 months, for new versions of these programs, and to update your copies in a timely manner. Eric Blanke will gladly send you a diskette containing the current versions on request. You may not distribute any Eric Blanke programs as part of any commercial program or in conjunction with any collection of software, such as CD-ROMs and retail racks, of any kind without express written permission from Eric Blanke. Special licenses are required for any bundling of Eric Blanke products, whether freeware or shareware, with any other software or hardware. This does not prohibit including Eric Blanke programs on individual disks containing other, clearly identified, shareware programs. However, it does prohibit including Eric Blanke programs on multiple-diskette collections which include programs from other publishers, but sold at a single price. You must fully identify all Eric Blanke programs in your advertising, by the program's full name and version, and indicate the registration fee in the program description. The words Eric Blanke must appear in all program descriptions. Within 30 days of the reciept of this disk, you must replace all older versions of all programs contained on this disk. You may not distribute older versions of Eric Blanke programs under any circumstances after that period. Please check your catalog for previous versions of these programs and replace them with the current version. Shareware Disclosure Required All advertising and packaging information including references to Eric Blanke products must contain a statement explaining the shareware concept. Specifically, that statement must explain that shareware software MUST be registered by the user, after a trial period, by paying a registration fee, and that all monies paid for the shareware version are duplication and distribution charges only. The declaration specified by the Association of Shareware Professionals is a good model. All such statements must be clearly displayed in a position where they are likely to be read by potential customers. Retail Rack and CD-ROM Distribution If you distribute shareware in a retail setting in racks, store displays, vending machines, at computer fairs, or in any way other than normal BBS or catalog-based sales, you must contact Eric Blanke for permission to distribute any Eric Blanke program. Rack or retail-like sales require a special distribution license, normally requiring royalties paid to Eric Blanke. If you distribute shareware on CD-ROM disks, you must also contact Eric Blanke before including any Eric Blanke shareware program on a CD-ROM disk. Normally, permission is granted, but current versions must be included and all old versions of any Eric Blanke program removed from any CD-ROM disk containing Eric Blanke products. VBRUN300.DLL All Windows 3.1 programs on this diskette may require the VBRUN200.DLL library from Microsoft Visual Basic 2.0. That file is part of the distribution package for all Eric Blanke programs for MicroSoft Windows. If you distribute these programs, you MUST make this file readily available to your customers, either on the diskette containing any Eric Blanke program requiring that file, or in another way convenient to the end user. By convenient, Eric Blanke means that no user should have to purchase another diskette to try any Eric Blanke program. PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS You can find descriptions of all programs on this disk in the PROGINFO.TXT or PROGINFO.WRI files, and in the brochure enclosed. You may use these descriptions, editing them to the length required for your marketing efforts. However, you MUST include the word Eric Blanke, the program name, version number, and system requirements information with all descriptions to avoid customer confusion.
