                    Distribution Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

OFFICIAL PRODUCT DEFINITION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fully and continuously functioning evaluation software package distributed 
via shareware channels, hereafter to be designated as Shareware, Shareware 
package, or Stella 2000 software package.

For definitions and explanations pertaining to matters of copyright and
shareware distribution, we would direct you to the files Shr-ware.doc and
ShareW.txt included as part of the Stella 2000 software package.
 


Limited Distribution License:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for Stella 2000, Swimming Elk Software
authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with
the following restrictions.  Disk Vendors and Distributors should
refer to the VENDOR.TXT text file for complete license information.

The Stella 2000 software package is defined as containing all the
material listed in the VENDINFO.DIZ file.  If any files
listed in VENDINFO.DIZ, or VENDINFO.DIZ itself, are missing, then the 
package is not complete and distribution is prohibited. Please contact 
us directly or navigate to our Web site to obtain a complete package 
suitable for distribution.

    o  The Stella 2000 package - including all related program, data,
       and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way
       (other than that mentioned in the following paragraph)
       and must be distributed as a complete package, without
       exception.  VENDINFO.DIZ contains a list of all files 
       which form part of the Coeli package.

    o  Many sites customarily add a small text file
       (advertisement) to each archived file. This text file
       describes the site and tells people that the file was
       downloaded from that particular site. Other sites add a
       small one-line message with their site name and phone
       number into the compressed file, which will display when
       the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of
       mentioning your BBS or ftp site are acceptable and may
       be used, provided the program and documentation is 
       otherwise unmodified and complete.

    o  Swimming Elk Software prohibits the distribution of outdated
       versions of the Stella 2000 shareware package without written
       permission from Swimming Elk Software. If the version you
       have obtained is over three (3) months old, please
       contact us or navigate to our Web site to ensure you have 
       the most current version.

    o  Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify,
       decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or
       transfer the licensed program or its related files except 
       as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use 
       shall result in immediate and automatic termination of 
       this license.

    o  Licensee hereby agrees not to post the Stella 2000 software package
       publicly in an ftp directory inappropriate to its category.
       Eg. pc/astronomy is an appropriate directory; pc/demo is not. 


Distributors are particularly asked to avoid the following terms when 
describing the Stella 2000 software package:

free, freeware, free software, free shareware, nag, nagware, public domain, 
demo, demonstration software, or any other term or phrase which admits of an 
interpretation not in keeping with the official product definition given.

Non-compliance with this request may invalidate previous license 
permissions granted by Swimming Elk Software to the distributor (Licensee).

Licensee may not attribute authorship of the Stella 2000 software package
to any name but Swimming Elk Software.


All rights not expressly granted here are reserved to Swimming Elk Software.
