╘HE ╪TRACTOR! IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CUT DOWN AND MODIFIED VERSION OF

THE SHAREWARE FEE SINCE THE ROUTINES USED ARE NOT TRUELY MY OWN.
╚╧╫┼╓┼╥, THE MODIFICATIONS MADE TO THE PROGRAM ARE AS SUCH THAT THEY

ALL MODIFICATIONS ╔ HAVE ═ADE. ─O ╬╧╘ DISTRIBUTE SEPERATELY! ╘HE
╪TRACTOR! IS ╬╧╘ TO BE CONSIDERED ╨UBLIC ─OMAIN NOR ╞REEWARE! ╔T IS A

MODIFYING THIS PROGRAM, BUT IF YOU MUST, THEN DO SO WITH CAUTION.
╒NDERSTAND THAT IF YOU DO MODIFY THE PROGRAM, ╔ CAN NO LONGER GUARENTEE
THAT IT WILL WORK PROPERLY WITH ╔NTERFACE! OR AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER.

╬O SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ARE NEEDED TO USE THIS PROGRAM OTHER THAN BEING
SURE THAT THE DRIVE AND PATH INFO IS ENTERED CORRECTLY IN ╔NTERFACE!
AND THAT THE SUPPORTING FILES MENTIONED IN THE BEGINING ARE INCLUDED
ALONG WITH ╔NTERFACE! ON THE SAME ─ISK OR PARTITION.

╘HE BENEFIT OF THIS IS THAT YOU WILL NO LONGER NEED DUPLICATE ╤╨┼/╤╨╪
FILES FOR EACH PARTITION. ╩UST THIS ONE ALONG WITH ╔NTERFACE! ON THE

REMINDED ME OF THE OLD ┴RMY VERSION OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL DISCHARGE! ;-)
╘HIS MAY BE JUST THAT TO SOME USERS WHO WILL NOT FEEL BAD ABOUT
STEALING THIS PROGRAM BY ╬╧╘ REGISTERING. ╘HEY MAY THINK ╔ AM CRAZY TO
EXPECT TO BE PAID FOR MY WORK ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ALREADY HAVE THE

CONTINUE ╔╞ IT IS SUPPORTED, SAME AS IN THE COMERCIAL MARKET.

╔F YOU USE THIS VERSION PAST 30 DAYS, YOU AGREE TO:

1) ╙END IN THE $10.00 ╒╙.

2) ╬OT ╥EGISTER AND ╙TOP ╒SING ╔NTERFACE! & ╪TRACTOR!.

2) ┼╬╘┼╥ ├┴╥┼╞╒╠┘ THE DATA ASKED FOR, CHECK IT BEFORE PRESSING RETURN.
3) ┴FTER ALL THE DATA IS ENTERED, THE PROGRAM GOES TO WORK. ┴FTER A FEW

╙HOULD YOU DECIDE NOT TO REGISTER ╔NTERFACE! AFTER 30 DAYS, YOU MUST
