          This is the license agreement for Centiwrite. Please don't be
upset by the legalistic tone of the license. It's written like this in
order to protect everyone's legitimate rights. Unfortunately, in court,
nice guys and vague guys finish broke; therefore, this agreement is written
in the sort of precise, legal language that makes lawyers drool when they
see it. Because this program is distributed by "unconventional means," the
task is made even more difficult, but here it goes.

                      Individual License Agreement

          Centiwrite 1.10 is protected by copyright. You are granted a
non-exclusive license to use it under the following terms:

1. You may use this program without charge for 30 days from the time you
   receive it (by whatever means). After 30 days, you must either remove all
   copies of it from any disks or other storage media you possess or own
   or remit the required license fee (listed under "Down to Brass Tacks" in
   the documentation file) to the copyright holder (currently [7/89]
   Andrew M. Saucci, Jr.). Once you have paid the license fee, you may
   make as many copies as you need of the program for your own use on a
   single computer. Any copies made for use on other computers such that the
   program may be used concurrently on more than one computer requires
   payment of additional license fees.

2. You may make copies of this program for individuals to sample, but only if
   they agree to the terms of this agreement. You may not make copies for
   sale. You may not make copies for the purpose of inclusion on any disk or
   other storage medium which is sold commercially. The sale of this
   program without compensation to the copyright holder is an infringement
   of the copyright, except that
   (a) Any "disk vendor" approved by the ASP (Association of Shareware
       Professionals) is authorized to distribute this program without
       additional compensation;
   (b) On-line bulletin board systems may distribute this program if they
       do not impose a separate charge for it;
   (c) Anyone who receives prior written permission from the copyright holder
       to distribute this program may do so. (Such permission will be granted
       on a case-by-case basis.)
       The sale of any disk or other storage medium bearing a copy of this
   program is considered "the sale of this program." Those authorized to
   distribute this program under (a), (b), and (c) above are strongly
   encouraged to obtain the latest version from the copyright holder, as
   well as a written, signed license document.

3. The unregistered version of Centiwrite may not be "bundled" (included)
   with hardware or other software. This item does not apply to authorized
   distributors who are not licensing any other software which is on the
   same disk or which is sold in the same transaction as Centiwrite.
   However, a special licensing program is available for those wishing to
   bundle either Centiwrite or Deciwrite, the enhanced version of Centiwrite.
   An extremely attractive flat fee license is granted under this program.
   Contact the copyright holder for details.

4. Any copies you make of this program pursuant to the terms of this
   agreement MUST include this file (containing the license agreement) and
   the documentation file. Distribution of the program without these two
   files is an infringement of the copyright. The program may be distributed
   using any compression method as long as these two files are included.

5. Any electronic information or bulletin board service (such as CompuServe,
   The Source, BIX, Delphi, GEnie) to which the copyright holder provides a
   copy of this program is authorized to make any copies it deems necessary to
   conduct the normal course of business. The terms of item 2 above do not
   apply to such services.

6. Because the 30-day trial period is sufficient to determine satisfaction
   with the performance of the program, once the license fee is remitted, no
   refunds will be issued. This is not to be arrogant, but rather to reduce
   unnecessary costs. If you don't like the program, you simply comply
   with the terms of item 1 above. The only exception to this rule occurs
   if a bug is found within three months of purchase. In that case, if the
   bug cannot be fixed, you may elect to receive a refund of the purchase
   price. (This is in accordance with ASP policy.)

7. The term of the license shall be five (5) years from the date of purchase.
   At the end of the term of the license, the copyright holder (currently
   Andrew M. Saucci, Jr.) reserves the right to terminate, change, or renew
   the terms of the license. If the agreement is terminated or changed, you
   will be notified by mail; otherwise, it will be renewed for an additional
   5-year term. Although these rights must be reserved in order to protect
   the copyright, the current plan is to renew the agreement at no charge.

8. Any individual or site is entitled to one (1) 30-day trial period of this
   version of the program. Additional "trial periods" are not permitted.

9. Any rights not granted to the licensee (you) in the previous items of this
   license (and which pertain to the copying and distribution of this program)
   are reserved to the copyright holder.

   If you purchase a site license, you will be sent a copy of the Site
   License Agreement, which replaces the text of the last two sentences of
   item 1 with the following text:

   Once you have paid the license fee, you may make as many copies as you
   need of the program for use within a single area of contiguous property
   which you own-- that is, a single site. Use of the program outside the
   boundaries of that single site requires the purchase of additional site or
   individual licenses. No copy of the program may leave the site for any
   reason without the prior consent of the copyright holder, except as provided
   under items 2 and 7.
