IV. DISTRIBUTION, REGISTRATION AND LICENSING
-----------------------------------------------------------------
WinNav is copyright and has been released for evaluation pur-
poses; it may be distributed as "Development-Ware" through normal
shareware channels.
4.1. PERMISSIBLE DISTRIBUTION
To ensure future development and support of WinNav, you are
encouraged to distribute unregistered, evaluation copies to oth-
ers.
Operators of electronic bulletin boards (Sysops) are encouraged
to post WinNav for downloading by their users.
WinNav may be uploaded to and downloaded from commercial systems
such as CompuServe, the Source, and BIX, so long as the only
charge paid by the subscriber is for on-line time and there is no
charge for the product itself. Those copying, sharing, and/or
electronically transmitting this product are required not to
delete or modify the copyright notice and restrictive notices
from the program or documentation; anyone doing so may be subject
to civil damages and criminal prosecution.
If you are passing WinNav on to others, uploading it to a bulle-
tin board system, or including it in a users group library, do
not separate the files contained in the packed ARC, ZIP or LZH
file -- pass the entire packed file on to the intended party.
This ensures that those who receive the product will have all the
correct configuration utilities and documentation necessary to
get WinNav up and running quickly. A listing of what files you
should have and the purpose of each is listed later in this man-
ual.
WinNav documentation may not be modified, nor may be distributed
separate from the application program. In addition, the distri-

PERMISSIBLE DISTRIBUTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bution documentation may not be printed, copied or otherwise
reproduced, by any means, without the written permission of the
author and copyright holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercial vendors and distrib-
utors of "public domain" or user-supported software libraries
must obtain written permission to distribute copies of WinNav.
No one may use WinNav as a promotion for any commercial venture
or as an enticement for the user to pay for any program, product,
or service unless they have received the express written permis-
sion of the program's author.
In order to distribute WinNav, a dealer or disk vendor must com-
ply with the following conditions:
(1) You must obtain written permission from Richard S.
Patterson to distribute WinNav. If you receive no
reply, write again; my silence does not constitute
permission, and you may not distribute "pending"
receipt of permission.
(2) A maximum disk fee as set by Richard S. Patterson in
the vendor contract must not be exceeded. WinNav may
not be included on any disk sold for more than this
maximum, including CD-ROM or optical disks, without
express written permission from Richard S. Patterson.
(3) Vendors may not modify or delete any files on the
disk. Vendors may add a "GO" program, and/or a
reasonable number of small text files designed to
assist or provide a service to the user, but these
added files must be easily identifiable and end-users
must be allowed to delete the added files.
(4) Vendors must make a reasonable effort to distribute
only the most recent versions of WinNav. All vendors
who have requested and received written permission to
distribute WinNav will be notified of updates as they
are released.

LIMITED EVALUATION LICENSE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(5) All disk vendors must comply with any and all vendor
guidelines or vendor requirements set forth by the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP); for
more information about ASP, contact its chairman, Jim
Button, at Buttonware in Seattle, or ASP, located at
325 118th Ave. S. E., Suite 200, Belleview, WA 98005.
Violation of any ASP guideline or requirement auto-
matically revokes permission to distribute WinNav.
4.2. LIMITED EVALUATION LICENSE
The evaluation copy of WinNav is, for purposes of distribution, a
shareware product. It may be freely copied and distributed for
evaluation as long as four basic rules are followed. These rules
are:
(1) The program and this documentation may not be modi-
fied in any way.
(2) A copy of this documentation is provided with the
program.
(3) No charge, other than a media and handling charge not
to exceed $10.00, excluding actual postage, is made.
(4) Users of the program must purchase a Registered
User's License should they decide to use this prod-
uct.
One license per usable copy of WinNav is required, and the pro-
gram may not be used beyond a thirty (30) evaluation period
without registration. A single archive or backup copy is not
considered a "usable copy" for evaluation or registration pur-
poses.
Please note that if you purchased a disk containing this software
from a public domain/shareware software distributor you have paid
the media and handling charges as permitted above. This is not a
registered copy, and you have not purchased a Registered User's
License. Purchasing a license is required for continued use.

PAYMENT WITH ORDER INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4.5. PAYMENT WITH ORDER INFORMATION
Under the "Payment with Order" plan we accept cash, money orders,
postal money orders and personal and business checks, subject to
clearance of funds.
4.5.1. Mail Orders
For mail order purchases, enclose the following items in an
envelope:
(1) A fully completed copy of the order form, appearing
at the end of this manual and
(2) Full payment by cash, check or money order made
payable to "RICHARD S. PATTERSON" (for your own
protection cash should not be sent through the mail
-- I can not be responsible for cash that gets
"lost" before I receive it),
addressed to:
Richard S. Patterson
P. O. Box 270492
Houston, Texas 77277
Licensing materials will generally be sent to you upon
clearance of funds, e.g., check or money order, or receipt of
cash.
4.5.2. No Phone Orders

PURCHASE ORDERS AND BILLING
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, we are unable to return long distance
telephone calls, unless you advise that we may place
same collect.
-----------------------------------------------------
4.6. PURCHASE ORDERS AND BILLING
Purchase orders are subject to acceptance, and may require an
advance deposit on large orders. Generally, purchase orders are
rejected of orders less than $250.00 -- even if they are from a
major national corporation or governmental agency; we are sorry,
but we cannot justify spending hours reading the often cryptic
language of multipage purchase orders for relatively small order
or single registrations.
Furthermore, purchase orders will not be accepted if they purport
to obligate us to your company's terms and conditions which are
contrary to those of our licensing agreements or disclaimer of
warranties.
As stated herein, there are no warranties whatsoever associated
with the Windows Navigator (WinNav) software product, and we are
not responsible for its performance. You are the sole judge of
the product's effectiveness and suitability for your particular
purposes, and are given an opportunity to pre-evaluate same via
shareware distribution.
To order WinNav, enclose the following items in an envelope:
(1) A fully completed copy of the order form, appearing
at the end of this manual
(2) Purchase order, stating, in clear and obvious type,
items and number of copies to be registered or pur-
chased, together with your shipping and billing
address, and
(3) Name, address and phone number of a knowledgeable
individual whom we may contact should any question
about this order arise,

4.7. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
We recognizes the difficulties our international customers face
in presenting payment for our products. These difficulties
include excessive fees charged for international money orders,
postal delays and currency conversion problems of various types.
However, as we are unable to accept payment via MasterCard (Euro-
Card) or Visa at this time, we can only accept international
money orders or travelers checks payable in U. S. Dollars; you
must perform any necessary currency conversions on your end of
the transaction, and take any necessary steps to eliminate the
possibility of the loss of the funds by the postal services.
It is strongly recommended that international orders be paid by
Postal Money Orders, as these appear to be honored by most U.S.
post offices, or by drafts drawn on U.S. banks with preprinted
U.S. bank routing numbers.
An additional charge to cover postal fees and handling is
required on all international orders. All materials will be
mailed via airmail, whenever possible, thus avoiding many unnec-
essary delays. The additional fees as of the date of this manual
are as follows:

and new products are available. Anyone wishing to offer advice
and suggestions are most welcome to do so.
Those of you who have registered your copy of WinNav, and wish to
receive an updated copy of the latest shareware version, can
always obtain a registered copy by mail; include the current disk
fee ($15.00 as of the date of this release) to cover materials,
postage and handling costs. In your request, please specify the
version and serial numbers of your current copy of WinNav, or
better yet, use the registration form included in this User's
Guide.
Optionally, you may include two (2) 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" diskettes
for each set ordered, together with a self-addressed stamped dis-
kette mailer (with adequate postage to cover the cost of each of
two (2) disk sets requested), plus $5.00 to cover handling, and I
will copy and send you the latest version of WinNav.
If there have not been any significant updates made since your
version, I will wait until the next release of WinNav to send
your update (if no updates are expected to be available in the
following 60 day period your payment and/or media will be
returned to you).
If you do have a question, a bug report, or suggestions for
future versions, please drop me a note, and include:
(1) A self addressed stamped envelope (if a reply is
required);

that you are using, which appears on WinNav's "About"
dialog panel;
