    PURPOSE.  IN NO EVENT WILL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR

    ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE PROGRAM, EVEN IF ADVISED OF

    YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS LICENSE, UNDERSTAND
    IT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AS THE COMPLETE AND

TextPad is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system.  The essence of shareware software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products.

If you find this program useful and find that you are using
TextPad and continue to use it after a reasonable trial period,
you must make a registration payment.  This registration fee
will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.
All users will receive a copy of the latest release of TextPad when
they register, and free technical support for a limited period
(see the on-line help for details).

You must treat this software just like a book.  For example,
this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, as long as
there is no possibility of it being used at more than one
location at a time.  Just as a book cannot be read by two
people at the same time.

Commercial users of TextPad must register and pay for their
copies of TextPad within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn.  Site License arrangements may be made by
contacting Helios Software Solutions.

Anyone distributing TextPad for any kind of remuneration must
first contact Helios Software Solutions at the address below for
authorization.  This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its
guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering TextPad immediately.  (However Helios Software
Solutions must still be advised so that the distributor can be
kept up-to-date with the latest version of TextPad.).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of TextPad along to your
friends for evaluation, but you must include all files in the
original distribution.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they make use of it.


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.


ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT:

Helios Software Solutions is a member of the Association of
Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that the
shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve
a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the
member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
does not provide technical support for members' products.  Please
write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442
or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman
