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 THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT WILL RAY HALLMAN BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY

Information in this document is subject to change without
notice and does not represent commitment on the part of RAY
HALLMAN. The software described in this document is furnished
under license agreement. The software may be used or copied only
in accordanced with the terms of the agreement. It is against
the law to copy this software on magnetic tape, disk, diskette,
or any other medium for any purpose other than the purchaser's
own personal use and then only after having agreed to said
license agreement.
I sincerely hope that you find the program package contained
herein to be of use to you. I have decided to make this
available to you and any users of the "distributor system" from
which you obtained it because I have personally received much
good software from such systems and would like to repay some of
this benefit. Also, it is my hope that this will promote good
will among good programmers to distribute their good efforts in a
similar manner. As others before me have said, "if you find
this program helpful and would like to continue to promote this
kind of effort you may contribute something to my above stated
address". I would be delighted to receive $10 or so by return
mail. This would certainly encourage me to continue these
efforts as I do have some other good ideas! I do have a few
copies of the distribution version of this program with hardcopy
manual which I will send to you for a donation of $15. Please
bear in mind that there is no obligation as long as its only for
your own use. Thanks! In any case your comments on this either
by telephone, email, or mail would be pleasantly accepted.
Sincerely, Ray Hallman
