The author disclaims all warranties, 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 the MTA-package; - The MTA-package 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 programmers to continue to develop new products. - If you find this program useful and find that you are using and continue the use of the MTA-package after a 30 days trial period, you must register the MTA-package as described below; - Non-commercial can get a license for the usage up to this release of the MTA-package for a small amount of money. Look into the details in REGISTER.MTA. Previous registered users will receive a big reduction to upgrade to the newer versions. These users should look into the details in UPGRADE.MTA. For Non-commercial users there is a POSSIBILITY to submit to one of the special contracts as explained in the file REGISTER.MTA. - Commercial usage of MTA will cost somewhat more. Also, a so called 'closed' Bulletin Board System (a system where the user must pay direct to the SysOp to get full access) is has to pay more than a Non-commercial user. Both types of users should look into the details in REGISTER.MTA; - The registration of the MTA-package will license ONE copy for use on any computer at any one time, as long as the usage confirms to the type of registration you have done (so NON-commercial usage when you have a non-commercial license); - Anyone distributing the MTA-package for any kind of remuneration must first contact the Author at the address above for authorization. - You are encouraged to pass a copy of the MTA-package along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it; - Support on MTA, when used in a non-commercial environment, is available by means of written letters or by entering the inter- national echomail area DISP; - Problems and suggestions can be entered in the FidoNet <tm> Echomail conference <tm> called DISP (international). Entering this echo does not exclude you of the duty to register the MTA-package, though users who evaluate the product can enter the echo for questions; - The MTA-package, all programs, the documentation and support-files is copyrighted 1990,93 by Robert W. van Hoeven, PO. Box 131, Badhoevedorp 1170AC, Holland. All rights are reserved. You may copy this package for backup purposes. Also you may copy and share unmodified copies of the whole package, providing that the copyright notice is reproduced and included on all copies. Excluded from this statement are the support-files written by other authors. Please refer to the documentation of these programs for copyrights and license agreements; - It is forbidden to modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile and/or disassemble the software in the MTA-package. Patching the medium at places that carry the software is seen as a program change and is also forbidden. It is forbidden to create a so called 'bypass' to skip the original introduction screens and delay. Also it is forbidden to use such a 'bypass' unless supplied by the author (Robert W. van Hoeven) himself; - Performing any of the illegal actions as stated in the previous lines, is a theft and no fair play to the author and, more important, to the registered users; - Bulletin Board Systems that distribute the MTA package can convert the WHOLE package to any archive-system they like but all original files must be included in the new archive. The MTA-package on the Bulletin Board can contain at the most 2 extra files. These files can only be a commercial for that Bulletin Board and/or validation data that is presented as a service to all users and shall have no other functions; - After the normal trial period of 30 days, you must register the soft- ware (see REGISTER.MTA) or you must remove it from your PC; - Comments, suggestions and bug reports are welcome and will be answered as soon I have the time to do so. You can send me a letter of leave a NetMail <tm> message named to Rob Van.hoeven (mind the point) on node 2:512/100 (RA Support, Monster, Holland, SysOp is Reinier de Groot). When you want to send me normal mail, address it to: Robert W. van Hoeven, PO. Box 131, 1171 AC Badhoevedorp, Holland; Also you can enter messages in the FidoNet <tm> DISP Echomail <tm> area; Registration information ──────────────────────────────────── There are several ways to register the usage of the MTA-package. All is depending on the environment where MTA will be running. NON-Commercial registration ──────────────────────────────────── When you use MTA in a non-commercial environment, the registration is simple and rather cheap if you consider all the time I have put into this product. As NON-commercial user, you must pay for a Non-commercial license. Payment of the registration fee, entitles you to: - The license for running ONE copy of the MTA-package in a NON-commercial environment on any computer at any one time; - A diskette with the latest copy of the MTA-package on 3 1/2 inch diskette (720 Kb) and on request on any other format (1.4Mb, 360Kb, 1.2Mb for the same price); - A special file to enter the name of the owner (company) in the header of MTA. This file can be used on subsequent releases, also those releases obtained from Shareware sources like a BBS; - The license for NON-commercial usage can not be used in any other environment than the NON-commercial environment itself. Upgrading to a commercial license or to a license for a closed BBS can be done by paying the difference in price between the current license and the new license; The price for a NON-commercial license is US $ 25,-- (including any HIGH DENSITY 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch format diskette). You should add the amount of US $ 5,-- for LOW DENSITY formats (extra diskette and extra mail) Commercial registration ──────────────────────────────────── When you use MTA in a commercial environment or when you use MTA on a so called 'closed' BBS (this is a BBS where the users must pay to the Sysop to get full access), you must pay for a license to use MTA. Payment of the registration fee, entitles you to: - The license for running ONE copy of the MTA-package in a commercial environment on any computer at any one time; - A diskette with the latest copy of the MTA-package on 5 1/4 or 3 1/2 inch diskette (360/720 Kb); - A special file to enter the name of the owner (company) in the header of MTA. This file can be used on subsequent releases, also those releases obtained from Shareware sources like a BBS; - The license for a 'closed' BBS can not be used in any other commer- cial environment than the BBS itself. Upgrading to a 'normal' com- mercial license can be done by paying the difference in price; The price for a commercial license is US $ 90,-- for a normal commercial user or US $ 35,-- for a 'closed' BBS. Update service ──────────────────────────────────── Both commercial AND non-commercial users can enter the update ser- vice. International users who use MTA commercial or non-commercial will benefit most of this feature. Paying the fee for update service, entitles you to: - Receiving every new release (minor AND major) for the period of one year or 10 releases (which ever comes first) on diskette media by first-class Airmail; - The updates will be send the same day the new release is submitted to the support BBS (2:512/100 in Holland); - The diskettes are first-class (no no-name or white diskettes) and will contain a special diskette label; The update service will cost US $ 35,-- for HIGH DENSITY (3 1/2" or 5 1/4") or US $ 45,-- for LOW DENSITY (3 1/2" or 5 1/4") which will be twice as much diskettes as a result of the format ! Utility diskette(s) ──────────────────────────────────── For all types of registered users, there is a possibility to obtain a so called utility diskette. These diskettes contain the latest SHAREWARE versions of the archiver- and GIF-alike programs that can be used with MTA and that are allowed to distribute at cost price. The remaining space will be filled with SHAREWARE versions of some of the DISP utilities (latest versions). The update diskette(s) will be supplied at cost-price and can only be ordered in combination with a registration for MTA. You will receive around 1.2 Mb of data on the format that you mark on the order form. Paying ──────────────────────────────────── - By postal money order or international money order. Normal cheques (if they are not EuroCheques) will cost me extra money to transfer, so add US $ 10,-- for transfer if you use such a cheque. Cheques that can not be collected within a reasonable time, are returned to the sender; - EuroCheque written out to : Robert W. van Hoeven Badhoevedorp - Giro-cheques (only dutch) written out to the name above; - Sending money directly, but please make sure you send it with some kind of safety, so you can make sure yourself that I received the money. When you send money, you can also send money in your own currency, but make sure to use a valid exchange rate. This is the exchange rate on the day you send the money to me; In NO way I can accept credit-card transfers. If you are not sure, please contact me by normal mail ! Dutch users can also pay in dutch money. Transfer the amount of dutch money in one of the above ways. Use the exchange rate on the day of transfer as found in the newspaper of that day).
