- Limited Distribution License:
- -----------------------------
-
- As the exclusive copyright holder for AlbumMaster, Unicorn Software Limited
- authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with the following
- restrictions. Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the VENDOR.DOC
- text file for complete license information.
-
- The AlbumMaster package is defined as containing all the material listed
- in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the PACKING.LST text
- file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing, then the package is not
- complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a
- complete package suitable for distribution.
-
- o The AlbumMaster package - including all related program files and
- documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way (other than that
- mentioned in the following paragraph) and must be distributed as a complete
- package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of
- all files that are part of the AlbumMaster package.
-
- o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each
- archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the
- file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small
- one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed
- file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these
- methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the
- program and documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete.
-
- o Unicorn Software Limited prohibits the distribution of outdated
- versions of the AlbumMaste package, without written permission from Unicorn
- Software Limited. If the version you have obtained is over twelve (12)
- months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current
- version.
-

- disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program
- except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall
- result in immediate and automatic termination of this license.

- o U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or disclosure by the
- U.S. Government of the computer software and documentation in this package
- shall be subject to the restricted rights applicable to commercial computer
- software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical

-
- BBS Update Program:
- -------------------
-
- Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them
- from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc. This is good
- because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or upload files to
- thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs prefer to obtain programs directly
- from the authors. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us,
- automatically, then please help us to cover the cost.
-
-
- If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
- products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below. Due
- to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly to a
- large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to mail
- updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
-
- If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
- advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can receive
- updates for an entire year for only $10 for all 11 programs (this helps
- to offset our costs).
-
- To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and address of
- your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
- (preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), and a check or money order for $10 (for
- countries outside of North America please add an additional $10). Payment
- in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only, please.
-
- The BBS Update Program covers all eleven programs in release. For a
- complete list see the bottom of READ1ST.DOC (as of March, 1991)
-
- NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will automatically
- receive any NEW programs which we may release while their BBS Update
- Program is in effect.
-
- The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
- those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program directly from us. If
- you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
- to use our BBS Update Program.
