Non-ASP member vendors must request permission prior to distributing this package. Page 4 The DFL package - including all related program files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed as a complete package, without exception. Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable. No price or other compensation may be charged for the DFL package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette, shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 internationally. Disk Sets & CD-ROMs: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The DFL package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging offer, without a written agreement from W.S. Ataras Engineering. ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the DFL package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) may do so provided that all the other restrictions are met. Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the DFL package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from W.S. Ataras Engineering prior to beginning such a distribution. If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection, please check the release date of the version you have. If the version is over twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was released in January, 1992. Page 5 Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you would like to distribute the DFL package as a Disk-of-the-Month, or as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the following restrictions apply: ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given permission to distribute the DFL package under the Disk-of-the-Month style of distribution. Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you have the most current version of the software. You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks. The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using any means, without the written permission of W.S. Ataras Engineering. In other words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED (hardcopy) form. The DFL package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others. You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. W.S. Ataras Engineering prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the DFL package, without written permission from W.S. Ataras Engineering. If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was released in January, 1992. Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in immediate and automatic termination of this license. U.S. Government Information: Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software and documentation in this package shall be subject to the restricted rights applicable to commercial computer software as set forth in subdivision (b)(3)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at 252.227-7013 (DFARS 52.227-7013).

Page 6 Applying for ASP Associate Membership: -------------------------------------- If you would like to apply for ASP Associate Membership (to become an ASP Approved Vendor), simply write to the following address and request a Vendor Membership Application Package: ASP Executive Director 545 Grover Road Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 U.S.A. or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe MAIL to ASP Executive Director 72050,1433. You may also FAX a request to the ASP Executive Director at 616-788-2765. Please Help Us Serve You Better: -------------------------------- We would appreciate copies of anything you print regarding DFL. Please send us a copy of any reviews, articles, catalog descriptions, or other information you print or distribute regarding the DFL package. Thank you for your time and assistance and for supporting the shareware marketing concept. Thank you for your support! Page 7 Vendor Update Program: ---------------------- Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some vendors prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then please help us to cover the cost. If you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but you would still like to receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take advantage of our Vendor Update Program. Under this program you can receive updates for an entire year for only $10 per program (this helps to offset our costs). To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company name, mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as your disk librarian), the program (or programs) for which you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program (Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please. The Vendor Update Program is available for DFL (as of January, 1992). All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update Program is in effect. NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and do not need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is yet another advantage to being an ASP Associate Member. The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the program directly from us. If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not to use our Vendor Update Program.
