before purchasing it. In addition, by decreasing marketing costs, profes-
sional quality software may be distributed for a fraction of the cost of a
comparable commercial product. Regardless of whether you register the pro-
gram, please help distribute MAIL_MAN by sharing unmodified copies of it
and its files with others on a private non-commercial basis. Liability is
limited to replacing the software for registered users. There is no liabil-
ity for any damage or loss caused by this software, directly or indirectly.

You are hereby granted the right to use the MAIL_MAN program for a ninety
(90) day evaluation period. If you find MAIL_MAN of value, and continue to

tration may also be accessed by the FILE | REGISTER Menu item in MAIL_MAN.

ter the program, PLEASE REMOVE THE PROGRAM AND ALL OF ITS FILES FROM YOUR
