office used by the same person). The usage by multiple persons at the same time
(on multiple computers) requires additional licences.

Multiple licences (additional licences)

Additional licences allow an institution, company or school to install the
program on multiple computers or on a server. It must be guaranteed that the 
program does not run on more machines at the same time than there are licences

Liability

We try to keep our software as bug-free as possible. But it's a general rule
(Murphy), that no software ever is error free, and the number of errors increases
with the complexity of the program. That's why we cannot guarantee that this
software will run in each environment, on any Windows compatible machine, 
together with any other application, without producing errors. Any liability for
damages of any sort is hereby rejected. In any case, the liability is limited to
the registration fee.

Please test this program with non-critical data, we cannot make guarantees for
the security of your data. Should you detect errors before registration, you
accept them if you register. Any description of bugs will be accepted, but we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to correct them.

Development of Windows Commander

Windows Commander was written with Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 (© 1991 by
Borland International). The Drag&Drop-algorithms, especially the undocumented
parts, were found in the very good book "Undocumented Windows", Andrew Schulman,
Addison Wesley 1991. The DPMI-handling for setting the volume label was taken
from the book "Turbo Pascal für Windows - Object Windows", A. Ertl/R. Machholz,
Sybex 1992. The screen layout was imitaded from the Norton Commander (©Symantec).
All code from the German issue WinDOS was removed and rewritten for Copyright
reasons. The ARJ and LHA code was translated by Mart Heubels (WinCAT PRO) and 
myself from public C sources to Pascal. A free unpacking DLL is in preparation.
