DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
differ on details -- some request registration while others
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.


COPYRIGHT INFORMATION

All PTAHSoft programs, shareware and freeware, are protected 
under the copyright laws of Switzerland and foreign countries. 
All rights are reserved to Jerôme Frossard and Ralf Zumbrunn. 
Distribution of PTAHSoft products implies that you have read
and agreed to the distribution terms described below.


INTENT

PTAHSoft seeks to distribute its shareware as widely as 
possible.  However, we want the end-users of our software to
be properly informed that it is shareware.

DISTRIBUTOR INFORMATION AND LICENSE INFORMATION

The license information and distribution requirements in this 
document supercede all previous license statements. To continue 
to distribute PTAHSoft products, you must adhere to the licensing 
and distribution requirements below.

If you are a mail order or BBS-type distributor of shareware 
software, you may distribute these programs as they are, without 
any changes other than expanding files contained in the ZIP 
archives. However, you have a responsibility to check from time to 
time, at a minimum interval of 6 months, for new versions of these 
programs, and to update your copies in a timely manner. PTAHSoft
will gladly send you a diskette containing the current versions 
on request.

You must fully identify all PTAHSoft programs in your advertising, 
by the program's full name and version, and indicate the 
registration fee in the program description. The word PTAHSoft must 
appear in all program descriptions.


SHAREWARE DISCLOSURE REQUIRED

All advertising and packaging information including references to 
PTAHSoft products must contain a statement explaining the shareware 
concept. Specifically, that statement must explain that shareware 
software MUST be registered by the user, after a trial period, by 
paying a registration fee, and that all monies paid for the 
shareware version are duplication and distribution charges only. 


RETAIL RACK AND CD-ROM DISTRIBUTION

If you distribute shareware in a retail setting in racks, store 
displays, vending machines, at computer fairs, or in any way 
other than normal BBS or catalog-based sales, you must contact 
PTAHSoft for permission to distribute any PTAHSoft program. 
Rack or retail-like sales require a special distribution license, 
normally requiring royalties paid to PTAHSoft. If you distribute 
shareware on CD-ROM disks, you must also contact PTAHSoft before 
including any PTAHSoft shareware program on a CD-ROM disk. 
Normally, permission is granted, but current versions must be 
included and all old versions of any PTAHSoft program removed from 
any CD-ROM disk containing PTAHSoft products.


LIMITAION OF LIABILITY

Users should be aware that it is unlikely that all errors could
be detected during development and testing. Under no circumstances
shall PTAHSoft be held liable for any damages that result from 
the use or inability to use the multi-language package, even if 
PTAHSoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages. 
In no event shall PTAHSoft's total liability to you for all 
damages or losses exceed the amount paid for the software.
