to release it free of charge for non-commercial use.  Anyone may copy
this program, redistribute it, or give it to another for any purpose
except those wherein a profit is obtained.  

	We have hosen to release this early (1983) version of Perfect
Calc into the 'freeware' community as a way of re-introducing the
'Perfect Software' line of products.  It is our hope that if you like
Version 1 of Perfect Calc, you will want to buy the latest and
greatest version.

	Perfect Calc is an easy-to-use spreadsheet whose user
interface is loosely based on the EMACS model.  Perfect Calc supports
multiple spreadsheets at once and can link between them.  Perfect
Calc can display two spreadsheets at once on the screen.  Perfect
Calc will automagically use disk to hold spreadsheets that are too
large to fit into memory.

			Share And Enjoy!
