Limited Distribution License:
-----------------------------
As the exclusive copyright holder for BigSort(tm), MeadowBrook Industries,
Ltd authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions.
ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to
distribute the BigSort(tm) package. Non-ASP member vendors must request
permission prior to distributing this package.
The BigSort(tm) package is defined as containing all the material listed in
the READ.ME text file. If any files listed in the READ.ME textfile, or the
READ.ME file itself, are missing, then the package is not complete and
distribution is forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a complete package
suitable for distribution.
The BigSort(tm) package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed
as a complete package, without exception. The READ.ME text file contains a
list of all files that are part of the BigSort(tm) package.
Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or
installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are
acceptable.
Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each
archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that
the file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a
small one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the
compressed file, which will display when the file is uncompressed.
Either of these methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may
be used, provided the program and documentation is otherwise unmodified
and complete.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the BigSort(tm)
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette,
shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed
US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 internationally.
Disk Sets & CD-ROMs:
--------------------
The BigSort(tm) package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive
package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging offer,
without a written agreement from MeadowBrook Industries.
ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the BigSort(tm) package as
part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package)
may do so provided that all the other restrictions are met.
Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the BigSort(tm)
package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a
CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from MeadowBrook Industries
prior to beginning such a distribution.
If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection,
please check the release date of the version you have. If the version
is over twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that
you have the most current version. This version was released in
November, 1994.
Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
-------------------------------------------------

Disk-of-the-Month, or as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the
following restrictions apply:

-Month style of distribution.

shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks.
The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using
any means, without the written permission of MeadowBrook Industries, Ltd.

PRINTED (hardcopy) form.

literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is
"Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.

Industries. If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please
