Disclaimer and Legal Stuff
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What i will be telling you below you must understand and agree upon
BEFORE you use any part of the BROWSE-Package. The BROWSE-Package is
subject to the following license terms and conditions.
* The BROWSE-package is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the
warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The
author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential,
which may result from the use of the BROWSE-package.
* The BROWSE-package is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without high
prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to
develop new products.
* The BROWSE-package, all programs, the documentation and support
files are copyrighted 1991 by Patrik Sjöberg. All rights are
reserved. You may copy this package for backup purposes. You may
also copy and share unmodified copies of the whole package,
providing that the copyright notice is reproduced and included on
all copies.
* You may not sell the product for a fee and/or distribute the product
along with other products without written permission, nor may you
modify or remove the Copyright Notices from the programs or the
documentation files. User clubs, if they are NOT commercial, are
allowed to ask a small amount of money for distribution and storage
when they want to share this package amongst their members.
* It is forbidden to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer,
decompile and/or disassemble the software in the BROWSE-package.
Patching the medium at places that carry the software is seen as a
program change and is also forbidden.
* Non-commercial users can get a licence for the usage up to this
release of the BROWSE-package for a small amount of money. Previous
registered users will receive a big reduction to upgrade to the
newer versions.
* Commercial usage of BROWSE will cost somewhat more. Also, a so
called 'closed' Bulletin Board System (a system where the user must
pay direct to the SysOp to get full access) has to pay more than a
Non-commercial user. Usage of the BROWSE-Package on a BBS with 3
(three) lines or more is considered as 'closed bbs' usage also.

The different licenses.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are several ways of registrating the BROWSE-package. It is
all depending on the environment where BROWSE will be running. Read
the disclaimer above before you decide what type of registration
that suits your environment.

product, the NON-commercial registration is simple and rather cheap.

nor does it include the 90 days support service.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Method of payment.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
There are several ways of transfering the license fee to me. Common
for all of them is that they should be made payable to Patrik Sjöberg
and all fees should be made payable in SEK - Swedish Krones.
- By postal money order or international money order. Normal cheques
will cost me extra money to cash, so add SEK 40:- for transfer if
you use a cheque. The real rate for transfering a Foreign check is
SEK 50 :- so i am only charging you some of the amount for this.
The conversion charge only applies to Non-Swedish cheques.
- By Postal Giro. My Postal Giro account in Stockholm is 82 04 89 - 3.
The Postal Giro is also known as PostGiro, Postcheckkonto, Compte
Chèques postaux, PostRekening, Girobank Account all depending on the
country you live in.
- Sending money directly.
- By credit card. Simply fill out the registration form and mail it.
All prices in the registration form are given in Swedish Krones (SEK).
If you feel unsure what the current exchange rate is talk with your
bank. They will be more than happy to help you out.
My adress is :
FenrisUlven Data
Attn : Patrik Sjöberg
Sörbygatan 69B
S-802 55 GEFLE
SWEDEN
Please note that all Checks and MoneyOrders must be in Swedish
Currency otherwise I may even be forced to return your payment and ask
you to resend it in proper currency.
I know that it shouldn't be to hard to crack the few things that
appear in the unregistered version but thats not the point. The
program still works. It is *Not* Crippled in any other way! I don't
believe that a program can be made full-proof to hackers, and such, I
don't find it usefull to create difficult algorithms. Many people know
by now that when people don't register, the program will die, sooner
or later. So if you wish to see future enhancemants of BROWSE ( and my
other programs ) then Please Register.
Thank You for Your support.

If you have registered a version prior to this one with a postcard
then you may order an upgrade. Contact me to work this out.
If you have registered any other way and recieved youre license
number then no additional fees are necesary.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
New versions
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
How much I still would like to send you all an upgrade for free I
can't do that. My phonebills wouldn't stand it. So if you would like
an upgrade of BROWSE when it sees the light of day you will have to
enter the update service. International users who use BROWSE will
benefit most of this feature. Paying the fee for update service,
entitles you to:
- Receiving every new release for the period of one year or 10
releases (which ever comes first) on diskette media by first-class
Airmail.
- The diskettes are first-class (no no-name or white diskettes) and
will contain a special diskette label;
The disk(s) will be mailed the same day as the new version is
released.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Support
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The BROWSE-Package has full support from its Author. New versions are
allways under development. And the Author is allways open to the user
input. So if you feel that something is missing or that something is
"backwards" let me know and i'll have a look at it and maybe in some
future version you'll find it implemented.
As a registered user you are entitled to :
- Free support.
- This support consists of answering questions and fixing any program
errors the user submits to Author in person. Only program errors
that can be reproduced and that interfere with the intended use of
the program as outlined in the documentation will be fixed. The
author can ask you to give some special data to correct the problem
and can ask you to check if you own a valid copy of the
BROWSE-package.
- The author may choose not to fix any problem that is related to
hardware and/or software configurations that causes one or more of
the programs in the BROWSE-package not to run correctly. If the
Author chooses to NOT correct such a problem you are NOT entitled to
a refund of the license money.
Unregistered users will only reciece support if i have the time. I do
NOT guarente that non-registered users will get any response from the
Author.
