- CONTRACT AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF MAX AND/OR SCR
-
- PREFACE
-
- MAX is distributed as a Public Domain editor. Since its creation involved
- a large personal investment by the authors, a contribution is requested,
- but not required. This contribution will be used for supporting free
- updates, continued development etc. In addition to encouraging free
- distribution among users, we will also mail copies of MAX for $15.00/copy
- ( to cover our expenses ).
-
- The authors, Ivo Welch and Jens Christensen, will do their best to supply
- updates and improved documentation in regular intervals, but hope that
- other users will support us in our efforts. The authors hope that you
- will enjoy the use of our product.
