Software Licence / Copyright
Software Licence
Please read the following lines carefully before using this software. If you
disagree with any of the following, you are not allowed to use this program. You
MUST then delete it immediately.
Shareware-version
You have the right to test this program for a period of one month. You are
allowed to copy this Shareware-version (and ONLY the Shareware version) and give
it to any other person, as long as it is not modified in any way. Under
modifications is understood the changing, adding or removing of any files of
this package without the author's written permission. You are NOT allowed to
pack this program together with a commercial program or a book. Shareware
dealers are allowed to sell the Shareware version for a small fee (around
SFr./US$ 10.-). You are encouraged to put this program on as many BBS systems
as possible. The distribution on CD-ROM is also permitted, as long as the
original files are not changed in any way. Please contact me if you want to
distribute the program with a different installation program, changed files etc.
Use of this software after the trial period of one month is in violation of
international Copyright law! It is also unfair to the author, who has spent
hundreds of hours developing this program.
Registration
This program is neither freeware nor public domain. Use after the 30 day trial
period requires registration. The registration fee is only SFr. 35.-+5.-S&H ($
36.- US personal cheque or cash including handling fees) for a personal licence.
See howtoreg.txt for details on registration and support.
Registered version (personal licence)
The registered version may be installed on as many computers as desired, as
long as it is ONLY running on one at any one time (I.e. one installation at
home and one at the office used by the same person). The usage by multiple
people at the same time (on multiple computers) requires additional licences.
Multiple licences (additional licences)
Multiple licences allow an institution, company or school to install the
program on multiple computers or on a server. It must be guaranteed that
the program does not run on more machines at the same time than there are
licences purchased. All licences are issued to the same (company) name, which
appears in the program's title bar.
Additional licences cost SFr. 20.- for the 2nd to 10th licence, etc. (see
register.wri for an international order form). For larger amounts than 1000
please contact the author. Each additional licence also allows a single user to
use the program at home.
Liability
We try to keep our software as bug-free as possible. But it's a general rule
(Murphy's), that no software ever is error free, and the number of errors
increases with the complexity of the program. That's why we cannot guarantee
that this software will run in every environment, on any Windows compatible
machine, together with any other application, without producing errors. Any
liability for damage of any sort is hereby denied. In any case, the liability
is limited to the registration fee.
Please test this program with non-critical data. We cannot guarantee the safety
of your data. Especially new operating systems like Windows NT or OS/2 can
cause trouble. Should you detect errors before registration, you accept them if
you register. Any description of bugs will be accepted, but we cannot guarantee
that we will be able to correct them.
Development of Windows Commander
Windows Commander was written utilizing Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5 (⌐ 1991 by
Borland International). The Drag&Drop-algorithms, especially the undocumented
parts, were found in the very good book "Undocumented Windows", Andrew
Schulman, Addison Wesley 1991. The DPMI-handling for setting the volume label
was taken from the book "Turbo Pascal fⁿr Windows - Object Windows", A. Ertl/R.
Machholz, Sybex 1992. Only the algorithms were taken and rewritten in Pascal.
The idea for the screen layout was taken from DCC, a Norton Commander
(⌐ Symantec) clone. All code from the German issue WinDOS was removed and
rewritten for Copyright reasons. The ARJ and LHA code was translated by Mart
Heubels (WinCAT PRO) and myself from public C sources to Pascal. A free
unpacking DLL is in preparation.
Many thanks go to Austin Basso and James Morris for correcting the English help
file and to Thierry Charles and Thomas Zehnder for correcting the French
version.
