If you are a programmer, you are invited to use the accompanying structure
unit in utilities and programs to help you use the same datafiles DIZL
creates and maintains. These include the *.DAT files and *.IDX files which
reside in the DIZL\DATA directory, as well as the *.INI files.
There are no other restrictions on their use other than any program that
uses DIZL's structures must be licensed in writing from Mind Over Byte
Software if you intend to release the program to the public in any
form.
*There are no restrictions for private use*
To obtain permission to release a program using the DIZLSTRC unit, simply
write your name, mailing address and phone number (BBS line okay), and
include the purpose of your program in summary form, on a 3x5 index card
or postcard, or on any paper of your choice in an envelope to:
Mind Over Byte Software
PO BOX 112015
Nashville Tennessee
37222
No fee is required, but requests must be sent via U.S. Mail or equivalent,
no E-mail requests will be honored. Upon acceptance of your submission,
you will receive a license and unique number to include in your program's
documentation and runtime code.
MIND OVER BYTE SOFTWARE cannot be held liable for damages your program may
cause to The DiZList's data-files or to any system, software or hardware,
upon which your program is run.
MIND OVER BYTE SOFTWARE is not interested in peeking at your code, or
using it in future releases of the program. We are open to suggestions,
and will happily accept any submissions of program source you have
composed if you send it to us for evaluation. You will receive full
credit for anything you submit if it is used in a future release.
Any programming language may be used; it is up to you to convert the
Turbo Pascal structures to your language of choice.
Further, Mind Over Byte Software requires that any program you release
to the public must note in its documentation, and in the program's final
or initial display, an obligatory notice, to wit:
"License Granted by Mind Over Byte Software, Copyright <year>, <License No.>"
Where <License No.> will include the number sent to you with approval.
Varying wording of the above is allowed, but must state the name of
Mind Over Byte Software, and must include the License Number you received.
It must be readily visible on the display screen for 1 or more seconds
during program runs at the beginning and/or end of your program, and in
your program's documentation.
All publically released software which uses The DiZList structures without
this notice included is subject to prosecution in a civil court. Any
software released to the public with a fake or invalid license number is
also subject to legal action. The DiZList program and structures are
COPYRIGHT and are not public domain. They may not be altered, abused or
distorted, as DIZL.EXE and DZSETUP.EXE depend upon their integrity.
Thank you,
