The Licensing Conditions for WinPack V5 (c) Roger Barker, 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------

THESE CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED SINCE V4! PLEASE READ!!

WinPack V5, like all preceding versions of WinPack, is freeware.

You are given permission to use the program without making any
payment for it. You are also allowed to pass it on, in its
entirety to any other individual who might wish to use it,
provided that you do not make any charge for doing so, other than
possibly a nominal charge for the cost of a disk and postage. I
would say that one UK pound or equivalent in other currencies is
quite sufficient to cover that.

The only exception to the above is that I give permission for
amateur radio clubs to sell WinPack in order to raise funds,
provided that they first inform me that they are doing so.

I specifically DO NOT give permission for WinPack to be put on a
PC that is being sold by a dealer. As far as I am concerned, it is
then being used to add value to the PC. If you have bought a PC
with which WinPack has been bundled, please let me know.

I specifically DO NOT give permission for WinPack to be sold by
"shareware dealers". If you have bought the program from a
shareware dealer, please let me know. The biggest disincentive to
producing another version was seeing shareware dealers selling
previous versions. If you are a shareware dealer - I don't want
you to sell my program. If you remove this file from the disk, or
alter it, the program won't work.

Contributions
-------------
The program is freeware, no payment to myself is either requested
or expected.

If you want to make a contribution to me, then you can always send
me a Christmas card as a thank-you, (I don't feel obliged to reply
to Christmas cards!) Please resist sending me an email message
that starts "Thank you for supplying WinPack, however I have one
small problem..." I've got hundreds of those!

Support
-------
If you think the following comments suggest that I have not got
much fun out of supporting WinPack - then you are absolutely
right! I have received far more requests for support than I would
ever have believed possible.

The following is my starting point for offering support:-

First of all, I am sure there are some PCs on which WinPack will
never work, usually as a result of the way the user has set up
Windows. There's nothing I can do about that. However, since
WinPack shouldn't have cost you anything more than an envelope and
a couple of stamps, if you can't get it to work you really haven't
lost very much!

I *know* the program works on a 386 or better, with Windows 3.1 or
later correctly installed and with 4Mb or more RAM. I *know* it
works fine under Win95. I have also *personally* tested it with
several popular makes of TNC. I *know* it works with several
others that I haven't managed to test myself. I don't know of any
make of TNC with which WinPack doesn't work. The TNCs I have used
with WinPack are:-

PacComm Tiny-2
Kantronics KAM
Kantronics KPC-3
AEA PK-88
AEA PK-96
BSX2 with both Tiny-2 and TNC2 firmware
Thorcom RLC200 with both its original and Tiny-2 firmware

I *know* it works with PK232s, I also know that a lot of people
have trouble getting it to work with a PK232. I haven't got a
PK232, so if you are using one and have problems, an SB to WINPAC
@ GBR should get you going. There is no "fiddle" needed, it works
just fine with a properly set up PK232.

Please try to obtain support from other users before you come to
me. Someone using the program on the same BBS as you, or with the
same TNC as you is probably going to be able to offer better
support than I can.

Finally, PLEASE READ THE HELP and the README.TXT!! It took me a
lot longer to write them than it will take you to read them. They
really do contain some useful information, and they're not just
for beginners!
