- This is the readme file for a set of communications programs and
- related files.
-
- This software is Copyright (C) 1992, 1993 Peter Edward Cann, all
- rights reserved, except for EMU.H which is in the public domain, and
- anything else labelled by the author as being in the public domain,
- and also the fax font CMTT12.FXF, which I believe to be in the public
- domain. Items that are in the public domain, and only such items, may
- be copied, distributed, sold, etc. indiscriminately, but not with
- actionable false attribution of authorship.
-
- You may use the software privately; if you use it at all frequently
- please send a payment of $5 per processor to the author. You may
- modify it and use the modified version under the same terms. If you
- distribute a modified version and request or require an additional
- payment, you must take personal responsibility for seeing that the
- author receives the $5 payment per processor for any installations
- for which you receive payment.
-
- Business users shall not operate more than two test processor
- installations per site, which shall not be operated beyond one 30-day
- consecutive period, without paying the payment for each processor.
-
- If you get an enormous benefit out of studying the code without
- particularly stealing it much, and make huge money as a result, I
- would obviously appreciate a little green present, if it's not too
- much trouble. I don't mean to make any legal implications in this
- paragraph one way or the other.
-
- Duplication and distribution is expressly prohibited unless copyright
- notices are preserved and this readme file is included. Enhancers may
- add their own material to this readme file after the author's
- address, below. Duplication and distribution not in conflict with the
- above is hereby authorized. Enhancers may modify the copyright notice
- to indicate that it applies only to the original portion.
-
- Any deliberate use of fragments of the provided voice prompt files,
- except live when resulting from a user aborting playback, is strictly
- prohibited. They may only be used in their entirety, and may not be
- edited.
-
- This software shall not, under any circumstances, be used in any
- situation in which it could have any life-safety impact, including
- but not limited to life-support or emergency services applications,
- unless a qualified person signs off on every single binary bit of the
- product, including but not limited to all strategies, algorithms and
- assumptions, and assumes complete responsibility in a legally
- effective manner. The software shall also not be used in situations
- presenting a risk of personal injury or property damage except as
- provided above.
-
- Any statements elsewhere in this package regarding behavior or
- properties of the software, or of any other information or objects
- with which the software may be involved, are provided only to assist
- the user in determining, experimentally and by examination of the
- code, how it really works, and shall under no circumstances be
- regarded as commitments.
-
- The author hereby expressly denies and revokes any and all express or
- implied claims of quality, reliability or any and all other
- properties of this product, same consisting of source code, data,
- documentation and anything else that comes with it, such properties
- including but not limited to merchantability or fitness for a
- particular use. Use of the product is at the user's sole risk in all
- respects. Payment of the requested amount shall imply final
- acceptance of the product "as is". The author does not agree to or
- imply that he will take any action whatsoever under any circumstances
- whatsoever, with the possible exception of copyright enforcement.
-
- If and only if receipt of the specified payment would impose a legal
- status on the author that definitely could be harmful to his
- interests in the event of any problem with this package, and if this
- is the case in spite of the provisions of this file, the payment
- for simple use is hereby waived, and any payment sent to the author
- under such circumstances shall be considered to be a gift unrelated
- to the package. In the above-mentioned situation with regard to
- resale on any basis, such resale is prohibited.
-
- If any of these terms are held by the authority having jurisdiction
- to be in conflict with applicable statutes, only the conflicting
- portion shall become void.
-
- Anyone wishing to make a serious, realistic and interesting proposal
- for a special license of any kind may contact the author. The author
- likes royalties, dislikes exclusives and is allergic to outright sales.
