- The distribution scheme of these things is simple. You must have a
- Workbench license, and you *cannot* distribute them electronically.
-
- Easy, eh?
-
- Your users don't have to shell out any money at all if you get a
- Workbench license (which SAS has), or they wait until Amiga OS 3.0 is
- available for their machine (3.0 has AmigaGuide support as part of the
- OS).
