- ECHO ║ small program will explain how to read/print the documentation for║
- ECHO ║ this volume, tell you a little about the User Supported concept,║
- ECHO ║ and tell you more about BSL and its services. So sit back, relax║

- ECHO ║║ Public Domain-This means that the author has written a program and║║
- ECHO ║║ decided that he will allow any one who wants to use the program do║║
- ECHO ║║ so free of charge. This does not mean that it is free of copy re-║║
- ECHO ║║ strictions and may be copied freely. Check the documentation for║║

- ECHO ║║ the program and a letter of thanks to the author would not hurt. ║║
- ECHO ║║ ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════║║
- ECHO ║║ User Supported-This is software that can be used for free,in order║║
- ECHO ║║ to determine its use to you, but if you regularly use the program║║
- ECHO ║║ you are encouraged to send a donation or User fee to the author. A║║
- ECHO ║║ premium is sometimes promised in exchange for the fee, ie free up-║║
- ECHO ║║ dates, printed owner's manuals, etc. Even if you do not want these║║
- ECHO ║║ premiums or none is promised, it is your moral obligation to comp-║║
- ECHO ║║ ensate the author for his efforts. It is an honor system that║║
- ECHO ║║ keeps this system of distribution alive. The amount of the fee is║║
