               oMMM Licensing Terms


 Copyright (C) 1989 by BS Software.
 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION AND/OR USE PROHIBITED
 WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION OF BS SOFTWARE.

 Non-Commercial distribution and/or use is permitted under the following
 terms:


 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of oMMM source and
 executable code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright
 notice "Copyright (C) 1989 by BS Software" and keep intact the notices
 on all files that refer to this License Agreement and to the absence
 of any warranty;  PROVIDE UNMODIFIED COPIES OF THE DOCUMENTATION AS
 PROVIDED WITH THE PROGRAM; and give any other recipients of the oMMM
 program a copy of this License Agreement along with the program.  You
 may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
 but no more than is necessary to recover your actual costs incurred in
 the transfer. Under no circumstances is oMMM to be distributed in such
 a way as to be construed as "value added" in a sales transaction,
 such as, but not limited to, software bundled with a modem or CD-ROM
 software collections.

 2. You may modify your copy or copies of oMMM or any portion of
 it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
 Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:

     a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
     that you changed the files and the date of any change;

     b) cause the executable code of such modified version to clearly
     identify itself as such in the course of its normal operation;

     c) if the modified version is not a "port", but operates in the
     same hardware and/or software environment as the original
     distribution, make the original version equally available,
     clearly identifying same as the original, unmodified version;

     d) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
     that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of
     oMMM or any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to
     all third parties on terms identical to those contained in this
     License Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more
     extensive warranty protection to some or all third parties, at
     your option); and

     e) send the complete source code modifications to one of the
     Authors at one of the addresses listed below, for their
     evaluation for inclusion in future releases of oMMM. Should
     your source code be included in oMMM, the Authors retain all
     rights for redistribution of the code as part of oMMM
     and all derivative works, with appropriate credit given to
     the author of the modification.

     f) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
     transferring a copy, but no more than is necessary to recover
     your actual costs incurred in the transfer, and you may at your
     option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

 3. Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or
 its derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not
 bring the other program under the scope of these terms.

 4. You may copy and distribute oMMM (or a portion or derivative
 of it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the
 terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
 following:

     a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
     Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,

     b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
     years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
     shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
     corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
     Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,

     c) accompany it with the information you received as to where
     the corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This
     alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and
     only if you received the program in object code or executable
     form alone.)

 For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code
 for all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not
 include source code for modules which are standard libraries that
 accompany the operating system on which the executable file runs.

 5. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer oMMM
 except as expressly provided under this License Agreement.  Any attempt
 otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer oMMM is
 void and your rights to use the program under this License agreement
 shall be automatically terminated.  However, parties who have received
 computer software programs from you with this License Agreement will not
 have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
 compliance, and notify the Authors of their intention to comply with
 this Agreement.

 6. If you wish to incorporate parts of oMMM into other free
 programs whose distribution conditions are different, please contact
 either one of the authors at the addresses listed
 below.  We have not yet worked out a simple rule that can be stated
 here, but we will usually permit this.  We will be guided by the two
 goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
 software (as it pertains to Non-Commercial use as provided by this
 Agreement) and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software.

 7. For the purposes of this document, "COMMERCIAL USE" is defined as
 concurrent operation of the software on four or more computers or data
 lines owned by the same for-profit organization. Any organization may
 operate this software under the terms of this Non-Commercial Agreement
 if operation is limited to three or less computers or data lines.


              NO WARRANTY

 BECAUSE oMMM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
 WARRANTY.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, THE AUTHORS
 PROVIDE oMMM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.    THE ENTIRE
 RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF oMMM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD
 oMMM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

 IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHORS BE RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR THE BEHAVIOR
 OF MODIFIED VERSIONS OF oMMM.    IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHORS AND/OR ANY
 OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE oMMM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
 LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR
 OTHER SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
 OR INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
 BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
 FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) oMMM,
 EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
 ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
