- before purchasing it. Once the evaluation period has ended, you
- agree to either purchase a Registered Copy of the Program, or to
- stop using it. If you have ordered a Registered Copy of the
- Program from us or from a dealer, you may continue to use your
- Shareware Copy beyond the end of the 30-day evaluation period
- until your Registered Copy arrives.
-
- (5) Use of the Program.

- evaluation period begins when you first install the Program on one
- or more computers for evaluation purposes.

- You may not make any changes or modifications to the Program, and
- you may not decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer
- the Program.
-
- (6) Making and Distributing Shareware Copies of the Program.
-
- You may make copies of your Shareware Copy of the Program to give
- to others, as long as you include all of the files that you
- originally received with your Shareware Copy, as listed in the
- README.DOC file included with your Shareware Copy. When you give
- a Shareware Copy of the Program to another person, you agree to
- inform them that their copy is to be used for a time limited
- evaluation period, and that they must purchase a Registered Copy
- if they continue to use the Program once the evaluation period has
- ended. You agree not to sell Shareware Copies of the Program or
- distribute them to others for any kind of compensation or fee
- unless you are a shareware disk vendor, are a non-profit User
- Group, or have received written permission from us; and your
- permission to distribute the Program has not been revoked by us;
- and you charge a fee of US $8 or less per copy (excluding shipping
- costs). You also agree not to sell printed copies of any
- documentation for the Program under any circumstances.
