catalogs and example databases.
Fiasco_doc_eng.lha Contains the english documentation in AmigaGuide
and TeX-DVI format.

Legal Things

The Program "Fiasco" and associated files, hereafter called Fiasco, are
provided "as is". No representations or warranties are made regarding to
accuracy, reliability or correctness of Fiasco, either expressed or

Fiasco Copyright © 1995-1998 Nils Bandener.
Fiasco may be redistributed under the following conditions:
· The program package has to be complete. Starting with release 2.0, the
distribution has been due to its size divided into several parts. The
archive Fiasco_main.lha contains the main program, libraries, locale
catalogs and example databases. The archives Fiasco_doc_eng.lha and
Fiasco_doc_deu.lha contain the Fiasco documentation in the respective
languages in AmigaGuide and TeX-DVI format. Because of the
seperate archives for documentation, the main archive does not
contain any documentation.
Thus, you must distribute at least one of the language archives. It is
still strongly recommended, that you distribute all archives of the
Fiasco distribution, especially when you distribute Fiasco on a
CD-ROM. Distributing Fiasco in unarchived form is allowed, as long you
keep the conditions stated above.
· Fiasco may not be distributed for commercial purposes without a
written permission by the author. This includes the distribution of
Fiasco for excessively high prices. You may only charge a small fee
for media and copying. The distribution on CD-ROMs is allowed, if the
price of a single CD-ROM is not higher than USD 20 or DM 30.
Distribution on cover disks or cover CDs of magazines is allowed, if
the price of the magazine is less than USD 10 or DM 12 in the case of
floppy disks or USD 12 or DM 16 in the case of compact disks.
I grant herby special permission to distribute Fiasco on the "Meeting
Pearls" CD-ROMs and on the "Aminet" CD-ROMs.
There is a special floppy disk based distribution of Fiasco 2.2. It
consists of two disks with archived contents and an installer script
which has been adapted to handle extraction and installation
automatically. This distribution is not available via Aminet. If you are
interested in it, send me a mail and the shipping costs listed in the
Registration Form. You will also recieve this distribution if you order a
registered Fiasco version on DD disks.
If you include Fiasco in your PD collection, coverdisk, etc. and a
copy is left over, you may feel free to send me this copy.
The keyfile, which you recieve after registering for Fiasco, is not
freely redistributable. You may use it only on your own computer system.
Manipulating the keyfile is also prohibited.
