K-Chess Elite Copyright (c) 1992-97 by Rob McDonell, ARK ANGLES All Rights Reserved REGISTRATION AND SUPPORT INFORMATION THE SHAREWARE CONCEPT Shareware is licensed commercial software which the authors make available on a try-before-you-buy basis.

Copying of Shareware, subject to the above conditions, is not only allowed, it is encouraged. Pass copies on to interested friends and colleagues. Shareware authors rely on the integrity of users to abide by the conditions of the license, and register the product if they want to continue using it. Many, like ARK ANGLES, also give added benefits to users who register. ABOUT THIS PRODUCT This program is Shareware, and may be freely copied and distributed subject to the terms described in the VENDINFO.DIZ file. The program may be tried out for up to 30 days without charge, after which users should register it or cease to use it. Note that Shareware does not mean Freeware or Public Domain.
