ллллл Copyright Notice: I'm no lawyer, but I do know what is right and just. I'm going to state this as plain and simple as possible. I claim no copyright on any program on this disc. These programs are copyrighted by the original authors. All I'm trying to do here is to make it easier for those authors to get their works out before the public, and to help them promote their products. Please support the shareware authors, for they are supporting YOU! I claim no copyright on the file listings on this disc. Yes, I put a lot of work on getting these to work correctly, but I know that it's rather ludicrous to try to copyright such work. If you want to use run this disc on a BBS, please, by all means, do so! This will help your callers a LOT, and it will help the shareware authors by getting their programs out in front of the public. If you wish to use this disc as a reference item for constructing your own file library, either for BBS, personal, or CD-ROM construction, then you are entitled to do so. I just love those CD-ROM discs that put on their "licencing agreements" that you cannot use the material on their disc except for what they feel you should... when they don't even own the programs! Ero Tek Inc. Assumes no responsiblity for any file on this disc, under any guise. We have subjected it to every resonable test, but there is no way that we personally could have checked every last byte of over 7,400 files prior to getting a timely publication out to you. It falls on the end user to practice "safe computing" and to make sure that all necessary precautions are taken. We have taken pains to insure that no illegal files are on this disc, such as commercial files, but there is no way to be sure in every case. Please, if you find such a file, write us at our address, and let us know, so that we can remove this file from future pressings. If you are a shareware author and find your file on here, and decide that we are not fit to help you dist- ribute your product, please let us know to remove your product from this disc, and we will be more than happy to accommodate you. I have seen discs that state you may not "rent" or "sub-licence" their product. Personally, I say if you want to, and can find someone that is willing to do it, go for it! It's not like I can see over your shoulder, anyway. If you are running this disc on a Bulletin Board Service, then we request that if you find out that a particular program is not legal for BBS distribution or that the author requests that their program not be distributed via BBS (although I cannot see why, I know that there are some out there with some idea that this will cause grave cosmic consequences), then please remove the file from your file listings, and do not make it available for download. Although you are performing a service for the authors, some do not see it that way, and if they do not wish your help, don't offer it. Ero Tek Inc. is not responsible if you are unable to use the user interface on this program or any program on it. Ero Tek Inc. is not responsible if you find that you cannot use any program contained on this disc, or if any program contained on this disc causes you problems. Lets face reality here. There is no way that we can check out every program in every possible situation, and anyone that expects that to happen just doesn't have a very good grasp of the universe. According to what I have seen, some states do not allow the use of "blanket disclaimers," so, as they say, this warranty may not be valid in those states. My response to that is, well, if your state doesn't like it, then I don't license my disc to be sold in those states! Turnabout is fair play, after all.... I do not reserve the right to ask you to "terminate use" of this disc. It would be an injustice to tell you that you weren't allowed to use the disc after you paid good money for it. Let your honor be your guide -- not some idiotic, completely un-enforceable legal prose. I just love to see those goofy licensing agreements on some discs that state that if you don't like them, then return the disc for a full refund to the dealer that you purchased from. Like the dealer *has* to follow that bit of legalese! I'll say this: if you choose your disc from an honorable, reputable dealer, then you will be able to return the disc, minus the cost of postage, for a refund. If you pick a bad dealer, or buy solely on the basis of cost alone, good luck getting your money back out if you decide you don't like the disc. I also love the discs that state that you cannot use their disc in a specific geographical area. Like it's going to make their support boards look like bozo's to have the disc running close to them! Get a life, folks. Our support board runs over 20 CD's, and I doubt that having another local board is going to run them out of business. If you can't stand to see your product being ran, then don't release it to the public. If you do not agree with the terms of this license, then you may either return the disc to the place where you purchased it and see if they will give you a refund, or you may use it for a cup caddy, a skeet shooting target, a stealth frisbee, or as a great way to decorate the rear view mirror of your car. If you can't get along with the licensing agreement on this disc, do your blood pressure a favor and never read any other licensing agreement in your life, because the ones that you find on most CD-ROM's these days are certain to give anyone that actually tries to take them seriously a coronary. =End=
