- GEMINI may be freely copied and used for private utilization, under the
- condition that always all files on this diskette (see MANIFEST for a list) are
- copied unchanged. Commercial use in any form (this includes the distribution
- via public domain collection diskettes) is NOT ALLOWED.
-
- If you like GEMINI (and we hope that a lot of people do), then you may use it
- and pass it on, also via mailbox systems. You should pack all files on this
- diskette in an archive (ARC, LH-ARC or ZOO).
-
- You can also get GEMINI on a 3.5" Diskette by sending a self adressed return
- envelope together with sufficient international reply coupons to one of the
- above addresses.
-
- This version 1.1 of GEMINI is in our eyes not yet a finished product.
- Therefore we will continuously work with GEMINI in the future. Because this
- takes a lot of time (up till now each one of us has put ca 1.5 manyear
- into GEMINI) we are not in the position to distribute GEMINI free of charge
- (as "PD" or "Freeware"). We have decided to use the shareware concept.
- You may copy and try GEMINI free of charge, but when you use it regularly
- you owe us a shareware fee of DM 50,-.

- If you support us in our work with GEMINI you will receive at least the next
- version free of charge. A more extensive update service will be dependent
- on the number of "honest" users.
- Note: Please put your name and address in the comment field of your bank
- transfer, otherwise we will not be able to contact you!

- We, Gereon Steffens and/or Stefan Eissing, cannot take any responsibility

- or the inappropriate use of GEMINI for a specific purpose.

- The following additions to GEMINI are planned for sure in the future:
- - pipes

- Of course we welcome any further suggestions!
