Fiasco Patch Release 2.11 ========================= This is a patch release, which patches Fiasco release 2.1 (Version 6.282) to Fiasco release 2.11 (Version 7.40). Fiasco 2.11 fixes some bugs of Fiasco 2.1 and adds some minor features. For a list of the changes, see the Fiasco documentation. The patch can be automatically applied to the installed Fiasco 2.1 distribution using the included Installer script. Legal Things ------------ The Program "Fiasco" and associated files, hereafter called Fiasco, are provided "as is". No representations or warranties are made regarding to accuracy, reliability or correctness of Fiasco, either expressed or implied. In no case am I responsible for any damages caused by this software. Fiasco is not Public Domain. I reserve all rights. Fiasco Copyright © 1995-1998 Nils Bandener. Fiasco may be redistributed under the following conditions: · The program package has to be complete. Starting with release 2.0, the distribution has been due to its size divided into several parts. The archive Fiasco_main.lha contains the main program, libraries, locale catalogs and example databases. The archives Fiasco_doc_eng.lha, Fiasco_doc_deu.lha and Fiasco_doc_ita.lha contain the Fiasco documentation in the respective languages in AmigaGuide and TeX-DVI format. Because of the seperate archives for documentation, the main archive does not contain any documentation. Thus, you must distribute at least one of the language archives. It is still strongly recommended, that you distribute all archives of the Fiasco distribution, especially when you distribute Fiasco on a CD-ROM. Distributing Fiasco in unarchived form is allowed, as long you keep the conditions stated above. · Because Fiasco 2.11 is released on Aminet only as a patch archive, which patches Fiasco release version 2.1 to Fiasco release version 2.11, some of the issues described above, do not apply here. · Fiasco may not be distributed for commercial purposes without a written permission by the author. This includes the distribution of Fiasco for excessively high prices. You may only charge a small fee for media and copying. The distribution on CD-ROMs is allowed, if the price of a single CD-ROM is not higher than USD 20 or DM 30. Distribution on cover disks or cover CDs of magazines is allowed, if the price of the magazine is less than USD 10 or DM 12 in the case of floppy disks or USD 12 or DM 16 in the case of compact disks. I grant herby special permission to distribute Fiasco on the "Meeting Pearls" CD-ROMs and on the "Aminet" CD-ROMs. There is a special floppy disk based distribution of Fiasco 2.11. It consists of two disks with archived contents and an installer script which has been adapted to handle extraction and installation automatically. This distribution is not available via Aminet. If you are interested in it, send me a mail and the shipping costs listed in the Registration Form. You will also recieve this distribution if you order a registered Fiasco version on DD disks. If you include Fiasco in your PD collection, coverdisk, etc. and a copy is left over, you may feel free to send me this copy. The keyfile, which you recieve after registering for Fiasco, is not freely redistributable. You may use it only on your own computer system. Manipulating the keyfile is also prohibited. textfield.gadget 3.1 is Copyright © 1995 by Mark Thomas.
