This file, LICENSE.TXT, describes the terms and conditions by which POW
Productions ("POW") will license other parties to distribute this software
program which is intended solely for distribution as "shareware" (the
"Program").  No use, reproduction or distribution of the Program, or of
copies of the Program, is authorized except in compliance with the terms
and conditions set forth below.

The Program is protected by copyright in the United Kingdom, as well as in
other countries pursuant to international treaties.  POW is the exclusive
worldwide licensor of the Program, and the copyrights and other
proprietary rights there in.  The Program is intended solely for
distribution as "shareware" (i.e., "try-before-you-buy" software); it is
NOT public domain or free software or "freeware".  POW encourages
distribution of the Program in accordance with the provisions of this
Software License Agreement.  Any use, copying or distribution of the
Program, or of any copies or elements thereof, that is not in compliance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement is prohibited.

Limited Distribution License:

POW authorizes distribution and/or copying of the Program only in
accordance with the following terms and conditions (the "General Terms and
Conditions") and with other terms and conditions set forth below that may
be applicable:

1.   POW Productions shall be credited as the owner of the Program
     in all distribution of the Program (which shall include, without
     limitation, packaging, documentation, catalogs, program descriptions,
     advertising, promotion and public relations).

2.   The Program shall be identified by name and shall be expressly
     identified as shareware (and not identified or described as "free
     software", "public domain software", or the like) in all
     distribution.

3.   The shareware concept shall be explained in reasonable detail in all
     distribution (shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software, and the
     price paid by users (if any) is a distribution charge only).

4.   You may copy and/or distribute the Program only in its original,
     unaltered form, with all files included unmodified, and without
     making any additions, modifications or deletions except as provided
     in this paragraph.  You may not modify the Program or any of its
     files, and the Program must be distributed as a complete package. You
     may not change, delete, merge or rename any files or elements of the
     Program in any manner, and you may not add any files or new elements
     (except for installation routines which do not interfere with the
     proper operation or installation of the Program).

5.   You may not decompile, recompile, disassemble, reverse engineer,
     adapt or create derivative works of the Program or any files or
     elements thereof except with POW's prior express written consent.

6.   Since the Program is intended for distribution only as shareware, you
     shall not charge any fee or other compensation for the Program,
     although you may charge a distribution fee for costs associated with
     distributing the Program.  You are permitted, and encouraged, to make
     and distribute copies of the Program to your friends, family members
     and co-workers without charge, for your and their private
     noncommercial use, in compliance with the terms and conditions
     hereof.

7.   In accordance with the "try-before-you-buy" philosophy behind the
     shareware concept, POW strongly discourages charging users or
     recipients more than $7.00 (U.S.) for distribution of the Program (or
     any elements thereof).  If you charge more than $7.00 for
     distribution of the Program or any elements thereof (inclusive of all
     fees, costs, expenses and other charges, including without limitation
     charges for copying, shipping, postage and handling, but not
     including sales taxes), then you shall pay POW a royalty equal to
     fifty percent (50%) of the excess of such charges above $7.00 with
     respect to each individual user or recipient.  (By way of
     illustration and not limitation, if you distribute the Program at a
     charge of $8.00 for disks and $4.00 for shipping and handling (for a
     total of $12.00), you shall pay POW a royalty of $2.50 with respect
     to each user or recipient.)  In the event that such a royalty is
     payable to POW, you shall provide POW with quarterly statements of
     account setting forth the royalty owed in reasonable detail,
     accompanied by payment thereof; and POW or its designee shall have
     the right to inspect and audit your books and records from time to
     time to verify the amounts of the royalties due POW hereunder.

8.   You may not remove or alter any copyright or trademark information
     on the Program, and you must take reasonable steps to protect the
     copyrights, trademarks and other rights of POW in the Program.

9.   You recognize that your right to distribute the Program is
     nonexclusive and that POW can terminate the license granted to you
     hereunder at any time for any reason upon written notice.  POW
     reserves the right to withhold or withdraw permission to distribute
     the Program from anyone at any time for any reason.  The provisions
     of paragraphs 4, 7, 13, 16, 17, 20, 21 and 22 hereof shall survive
     any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

10.  You shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Program and any
     other software, documentation and other materials distributed with
     the Program are free from viruses.

11.  This is the current version of the Program and all previous versions
     of this Program have been withdrawn from distribution.  You shall use
     reasonable efforts to distribute only the latest version of the
     Program.  If you have a question about this, please contact POW to
     confirm what is the latest version (you can do this through POW's
     website on the Internet,
     
http://kublai.pacificrim.net/~solaris/powhome/


12.  Your limited right to distribute under this Software License
     Agreement is personal and does not include any right of sublicense.

13.  You may not use, copy, modify, distribute or transfer the Program
     or any element thereof in whole or in part, except as expressly
     provided for herein.

14.  You may not "rent" or "lease" the Program to anyone.

15.  Any permission, consent or approval of POW referred to herein may
     be granted or withheld in POW's sole discretion (and, unless
     expressly granted in writing, shall be deemed to be withheld).

16.  DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF
     LIABILITY:

     THIS PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS".  POW PRODUCTIONS,
     MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND,
     EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THIS
     PROGRAM OR ANY FILES, DOCUMENTATION OR ELEMENTS
     THEREOF OR RELATING THERETO OR ANY MEDIUM THE
     PROGRAM MAY BE ON (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR OF FITNESS FOR A
     PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE).

     SUBJECT TO ANY CONTRARY PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE
     LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL POW PRODUCTIONS BE LIABLE
     FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
     CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM
     THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM OR ANY
     FILES, DOCUMENTATION OR ELEMENTS THEREOF,
     INCLUDING FROM NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR
     BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT, EVEN IF POW   
     PRODUCTIONS IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
     DAMAGES.  IN PARTICULAR, POW PRODUCTIONS IS NOT
     RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING
     BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF
     LOST PROFITS OR REVENUE, LOSS OF USE OF COMPUTER
     PROGRAMS, LOSS OF DATA, THE COST OF A SUBSTITUTE
     PROGRAM, OR CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES.
     IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF POW PRODUCTIONS
     FOR ANY DAMAGES EVER EXCEED THE PRICE PAID FOR THE
     LICENSE TO USE THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM
     OF CLAIM.  THE USER OF THE PROGRAM BEARS ALL RISK
     AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
     AND ALL OTHER RISKS RELATING TO THE USE OF OR
     INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM.  BECAUSE SOFTWARE IS
     INHERENTLY COMPLEX AND MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY FREE
     OF ERRORS, ALL USERS ARE ADVISED TO VERIFY THEIR
     WORK AND TO MAKE BACK-UP COPIES.

17.  This Software License Agreement shall be governed by and
     construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United
     Kingdom applicable to agreements entered into and wholly
     to be performed therein, without reference to conflicts of
     laws. It shall inure to the benefit of Pow Productions and its
     successors and assigns.  With respect to every matter arising
     under this Software License Agreement, you consent to the
     jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in the United
     Kingdom, and to service by registered mail, return receipt
     requested, or as otherwise permitted by law.

18.  POW reserves the right to update the contents of the Program and/or
     its associated files, documentation and/or other elements, at its
     discretion from time to time, without the consent of, or any
     obligation to, any licensed users or distributors.

19.  All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Pow 
     Productions.

20.  In the event of any violation of this Agreement or failure to comply
     with any of the terms and conditions set forth herein, or any other
     violation or infringement of any of POW's rights, POW shall have
     available all rights and remedies at law and in equity.  Without
     limiting the foregoing, in the event of any such violation or failure
     to comply, then in addition to its other rights and remedies, if POW
     so elects POW shall have the right to seek damages of not less than
     the full registration fee for the registered version of the software
     program with the same name as the Program, with respect to each copy
     of the Program distributed or copied and/or each user or recipient to
     whom the Program was distributed.  (By way of illustration and not
     limitation, if the registration fee for the registered version is
     $50.00 and distribution to 1,000 persons was made in violation of
     this Agreement, then if POW so elects POW shall have the right to
     seek damages of not less than $50,000 under the provisions of this
     paragraph, in addition to its other rights and remedies at law or in
     equity.)

21.  You will hold POW, its officers, directors, employees, contractors,
     attorneys, and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims,
     actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
     reasonable attorney's fees) arising directly or indirectly from your
     acts and omissions in copying and distributing the Program (including
     without limitation from any installation routine that you may add).

22.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be void, invalid or
     unenforceable, it will not affect the validity of the balance of this
     Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its
     terms and conditions.
