       DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

       Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try  software
       before  buying  it.  If you try a Shareware program and con-
       tinue using it, you are  expected  to  register.  Individual
       programs  differ  on  details  --  some request registration
       while others  require  it,  some  specify  a  maximum  trial
       period.  With registration, you get anything from the simple
       right to continue using the software to an  updated  program
       with printed manual.

       Copyright  laws  apply  to  both  Shareware  and  commercial
       software,  and the copyright holder retains all rights, with
       a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors
       are  accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors,
       and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both  cases,
       there  are  good programs and bad ones!) The main difference
       is in the method of distribution.  The  author  specifically
       grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either
       to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,  some
       authors  require written permission before a commercial disk
       vendor may copy their Shareware.

       Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of  software.
       You  should  find software that suits your needs and pocket-
       book, whether it's commercial or  Shareware.  The  Shareware
       system  makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try
       before you buy.  And because the overhead is low, prices are
       low also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee --
       if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.

       DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT

       Users of WinXs must  accept  this  disclaimer  of  warranty:
       WinXs  is  supplied as is.  The author disclaims all warran-
       ties, expressed or implied, including,  without  limitation,
       the  warranties  of  merchantability  and of fitness for any
       purpose.  The  author  assumes  no  liability  for  damages,
       direct  or  consequential,  which may result from the use of
       WinXs.

       WinXs is a "shareware program" and is provided at no  charge
       to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
       friends, but please do not give it away altered or  as  part
       of another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software
       is to provide personal computer users with quality  software
       without  high  prices, and yet to provide incentive for pro-
       grammers to continue to develop new products.  If  you  find
       this  program  useful  and find that you are using WinXs and
       continue to use WinXs after a reasonable trial  period,  you
       must  make a registration payment of $30 to the author.  The
       $30 registration fee will license one copy for  use  on  any
       one  computer at any one time.  You must treat this software
       just like a book.  An example is that this software  may  be
       used  by  any  number of people and may be freely moved from
       one computer location to another, so long  as  there  is  no
       possibility  of  it  being  used  at one location while it's
       being used at another.  Just as a book cannot be read by two
       different persons at the same time.

       Commercial users of WinXs must register and  pay  for  their
       copies of WinXs within 30 days of first use or their license
       is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be made by con-
       tacting the author.

       Anyone distributing WinXs for any kind of remuneration  must
       first  contact  the  author at the address given in the file
       REGISTER.TXT for authorization.  This authorization will  be
       automatically  granted  to  distributors  recognized  by the
       (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware  distribu-
       tors, and such distributors may begin offering WinXs immedi-
       ately (However the author must still be advised so that  the
       distributor  can  be kept up-to-date with the latest version
       of WinXs).

       You are encouraged to pass a copy of  WinXs  along  to  your
       friends  for  evaluation.  Please encourage them to register
       their  copy  if  they  find  that  they  can  use  it.   All
       registered  users  will receive a copy of the latest version
       of the WinXs system.

       ASP OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT

       This program is produced by a member of the  Association  of
       Shareware  Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that
       the shareware principle works for you.  If you are unable to
       resolve  a  shareware-related  problem with an ASP member by
       contacting the member directly, ASP may  be  able  to  help.
       The  ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem
       with an ASP member, but does not provide  technical  support
       for members' products.  Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at
       157-F Love Ave., Greenwood, IN 26142 USA, FAX  [phone],
