Welcome to The Bill Drawer!
Unfortunately, we need to get a few legal matters out of the way
first. Please excuse our legal-ese.
MelissaSoft Systems Software License Agreement
This document is a legal agreement between you, the "end user",
and MelissaSoft Systems, the owner of this software program.
By installing and using this software program (the "SOFTWARE")
you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this agreement.
REGISTRATION: Unlicensed copies of the SOFTWARE are fully
functional. Non-licensed users are granted a 30 day limited
license, for the purpose of evaluating the SOFTWARE relative
to their own requirements and needs. At the end of this 30 day
period, non-licensed users are required to either register the
SOFTWARE, or remove it from all computers where it was installed.
The use of unlicensed copies of the SOFTWARE, outside this 30
day period, by any person, business, corporation, government,
or any other entity is strictly prohibited.
To register this software, send $15 (US) to the address at the
end of this agreement. Registration includes a printed manual,
current version of the SOFTWARE, and notification of new releases.
When you pay for shareware that you like, you are encouraging us
continue developing and enhancing this program. We have many
exciting things planned for the future, but they will only happen
if sufficent users tell us they like this program by registering it.
DISTRIBUTION: Permission is granted to copy and distribute the
unlicensed version of the SOFTWARE, subject to the following
conditions:
(a) The SOFTWARE must be copied in it's entirety, including this
license information.
(b) Only the unlicensed version of the SOFTWARE may be distributed.
The accompanying written materials may not be distributed.
(c) The SOFTWARE may not be distributed in conjunction with any
other product, without specific written permission from
MelissaSoft Systems.
(d) Operators of Electronic Bulletin Board Systems may make the
the SOFTWARE available for downloading as long as there is
not a specific charge to download the SOFTWARE, excluding
membership fees, registration fees or time dependent charges
relative to the use of the bulletin board system itself.
(e) Vendors of shareware software, approved by the Association of
Shareware Professionals, may freely distribute the SOFTWARE
as long as any handling fees, duplication fees, or other forms
of fees, charges or compensation do not exceed 10 dollars (US)
when pro-rated to the SOFTWARE itself. Other shareware vendors
must receive written permission from MelissaSoft Systems before
distributing the SOFTWARE.
(f) Non-profit groups may freely distribute the SOFTWARE to members
of that group, as long as any handling fees, duplication fees,
or other forms of fees, charges or compensation do not exceed
10 dollars (US) when pro-rated to the SOFTWARE itself.
(g) Any other individual, not in the business of distributing
software, may freely distribute the SOFTWARE, as long as no
fee, charge, or other compensation is requested or received.
End users who have received the SOFTWARE from illegitimate sources
are encouraged to write us, with immunity, to the address at the end
of this agreement indicating the source of the SOFTWARE and the
conditions imposed. We will reply with the names of legitimate
sources to receive the SOFTWARE from. Software received from
illegitimate sources should be considered at minimum out of date
and void of any warranty, and possibly virus infected.

registered users the right to copy the enclosed SOFTWARE onto a
single computer and the right for you and others to use that copy

shall any liability exceed the registration fees paid.
