- Software and User's Manual (the Shareware version) may be copied

- when and if they decide to write their own. The only requirement
- rbm software has for the distribution of FIELD GENERAL is vendors
- must send rbm software copies of their catalogs in which FIELD
- GENERAL Version 5.1 appears for the FIRST time. By doing so, rbm
- software will know which vendors to keep on its distribution list
- for updates to the software. rbm software would appreciate if
- vendors would acknowledge their receiving of this distribution
- disk.
