The Cove Software Group hereby grants you a limited license to use

Limited Distribution License (End-Users)
----------------------------------------
As the copyright holder for REF, The Cove Software Group authorizes
distribution by end-users of the evaluation version of the REF
PACKAGE only in accordance with the following restrictions.
"End-users" are defined as individuals (other than shareware
distributors, disk vendors, bulletin board operators, users'
groups, clubs, etc.) whose primary interest in REF is evaluation of
the software for possible use, rather than in redistribution of it.
The REF evaluation package is defined as containing all the
material listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed
in the PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are
missing, then the package is not complete and distribution is
forbidden.
End-users are hereby granted permission by The Cove Software
Group to copy the REF diskette for their own use (for evaluation
purposes) or for other individuals to evaluate, ONLY when the
following conditions are met.
o The REF evaluation package must be distributed as a complete
package and may not be modified in any way, without
exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all
files that are part of the REF package.
o No price or other compensation, including "handling" fees,
etc., may be charged for distributing the REF package by
itself or as part of any other package.
o Printed copies of the User's Guide may not be reproduced in
whole or in part, using any means, without the written
permission of The Cove Software Group. In other words, the
disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED
(hardcopy) form.
o The REF package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
o Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify,
decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or
transfer the licensed program except as provided in this
agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in
immediate and automatic termination of this license.
o U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or
disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software
and documentation in this package shall be subject to the
restricted rights applicable to commercial computer software
as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in
Technical Data and Computer Software clause at 252.227-7013
(DFARS 52.227-7013). The contractor/manufacturer is The Cove
Software Group, Post Office Box 1072, Columbia, Maryland
20144.
Limited Distribution License (Others)
-------------------------------------
This information pertains to shareware distributors, disk vendors,
users' groups and clubs, electronic bulletin board operators, etc.:
those whose primary interest is in distributing the software rather
than in using it. These are referred to generically as
"distributors" below.
As the copyright holder for REF, The Cove Software Group authorizes
distribution of the REF evaluation package only in accordance with
the following restrictions and definitions.
"Distribution" is deemed to include distribution by magnetic disk,
electronic transmission, CD ROM, or any other method by which end
users or other distributors may obtain copies of the REF evaluation
package.
The "REF evaluation package" is defined as containing all the
material listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed
in the PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST 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 distributor may distribute the REF evaluation package as long
as the following conditions are met:
o The REF evaluation package must be distributed as a complete
package. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all
files that are part of the REF package; the package as
distributed must contain all of these files.
o The REF evaluation package must not be modified in any way,
EXCEPT that:
- distributors may repackage the files in a format that is
consistent with their practice. For example, a distributor
may repackage the REF evaluation package using a different
"archive" or "compression" method if desired. If this is
done, all files listed in PACKING.LST must be included.
- the distributor may make small additions to the package if
it is his practice to do so. For example, a distributor may
add a common "shareware information" file or an installation
or start-up batch or program. All such additions must be
clearly marked as to their origin.
o No price or other compensation may be charged for the REF
package. A distribution cost 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.
o The REF 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
The Cove Software Group.
o The REF package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
o Our shareware products may not be listed in advertisements,
catalogs, or other literature that describes such products as
"FREE SOFTWARE".
All rights not expressly granted here are reserved to The Cove
Software Group.
