-
- Shareware vendors may distribute this program alone on floppy disks if the
- following conditions are met:
-
- A. You explain the shareware concept and describe this program as shareware.
- (Shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software, and the price paid to you by

- should be included on a seperate diskette from our distribution package.
- F. No files are modified or deleted.
-
- 3. CD-ROM "Multi-Bundle" Shareware Discs

- mail-order, wholesale, retail, or any other channels), you need to follow
- these terms and conditions:
-
- A. You explain the shareware concept in FULL detail and describe this
- program as being shareware. The fees/price that users pay for your disc
- do not include the purchase of the software contained therein.

- F. No files may be modified or deleted.
- G. You must send us two copies of the CD-ROM as soon as it has been
- manufactured.
-
- Reasons for these conditions: We appreciate CD-ROM distribution when it
- is focused on bringing users a few top shareware products at a good price.
- But the numerous 10,000-program CD's that are hitting the stores aren't
- helping Straffan's authors and distributors achieve their goal of getting
- high-quality distribution and registrations.
-
- So, please don't include this software on a gigantic CD-ROM stuffed with
- programs. But do consider doing a small, high-quality CD-ROM that focuses
- on a few good products - that will bring in good sales for both you and us,
- and that will make us all happy.
-
- 4. Any distribution in a retail environment:
-
- Any party wishing to sell Straffan Production Company or COGnition
- Development Team products in a retail environment must meet all of the above
- conditions that apply, in addition to the following:

- packaging: The name, "Straffan Production Company, LTD.," the name
- of this program, and the word "Shareware."
- B. You must send us two copies of your packaging for every Straffan
- Production Company or COGnition Development Team product you distribute
- as soon as the packaging has been manufactured.
-
- 5. Bundling with hardware:
-
- You may bundle Straffan Production Company products, shareware version only,
- with new hardware (computers, sound cards, etc.) as long as you don't
- modify or delete any program files, and as long as you provide the shareware
- programs free of charge (i.e. at no additional cost) to the user when the
- hardware is purchased.

- please contact us! We greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with
- hardware manufacturers and resellers.

- appreciate new and unique forms of distribution as a way of reaching new
- customers.
