DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
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 pocketbook,
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 Eiffel/S 1.3S must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Eiffel/S 1.3 is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The authors assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of Eiffel/S 1.3S"

Eiffel/S 1.3S is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your
friends, but 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 Eiffel/S 1.3S and continue to use
Eiffel/S 1.3S after a reasonable trial period, you should make a regi-
stration payment SIG Computer GmbH. The single user 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 Eiffel/S 1.3S must register and pay for their
copies of Eiffel/S 1.3S within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting
SIG Computer GmbH.

Anyone distributing Eiffel/S 1.3S for any kind of remuneration must
first contact SIG Computer GmbH at the address below for authorization.
This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
Eiffel/S 1.3S immediately (However SIG Computer GmbH must still be advised
so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest
version of Eiffel/S 1.3S.).

You are encouraged to pass a copy of Eiffel/S 1.3S 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 key which removes the limitation of 100 classes
per program.
