Limited Distribution License:
-----------------------------
As the exclusive copyright holder for CDMaster, Unicorn Software Limited
authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions. Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the VENDOR.DOC
text file for complete license information.
The CDMaster 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.
o The CDMaster package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way (other than that
mentioned in the following paragraph) and must be distributed as a complete
package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of
all files that are part of the CDMaster package.
o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each
archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the
file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small
one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed
file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these
methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the
program and documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete.
o Unicorn Software Limited prohibits the distribution of outdated
versions of the CDMaste package, without written permission from Unicorn
Software Limited. If the version you have obtained is over twelve (12)
months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current
version.
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

All rights not expressly granted here are reserved to Unicorn Software

BBS Update Program:
-------------------
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them
from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc. This is good
because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or upload files to
thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs prefer to obtain programs directly
from the authors. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us,
automatically, then please help us to cover the cost.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below. Due
to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly to a
large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to mail
updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can receive
updates for an entire year for only $10 for all 11 programs (this helps to
offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and address of
your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
(preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), and a check or money order for $10 (for
countries outside of North America please add an additional $10). Payment
in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only, please.
The BBS Update Program covers all eleven programs in release. For a
complete list see the bottom of READ1ST.DOC (as of March, 1991)
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release while their BBS Update
Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program directly from us. If
you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not to
use our BBS Update Program.
