    This file, README., contains the Tech-Edit license agreement
    and gives you information on registering Tech-Edit.

    The file is 4 pages long.  The last page is a registration form
    which you can fill out and mail in to register Tech-Edit.


    Registration Information

         Tech-Edit is a copyrighted program protected by both U.S. and
         international copyright law.  You are authorized to use it

         before you pay for it.

      Tech-Edit License Agreement

         (1)  The Tech-Edit program and all other programs and
         documentation distributed or shipped with it are
         copyrighted works protected by U.S. and international
         copyright law.  In the rest of this document, this
         collection of programs is referred to simply as "Tech-Edit".
         You are granted a license to use your copy of Tech-Edit only
         under the terms and conditions specified in this license
         agreement.

         (2)  Tech-Edit is a shareware software package.  It is not
         free, and it is not in the public domain.  It is
         distributed as shareware, which means that before you pay
         for the package, you may try it and see if you want to
         continue using it.  You may use Tech-Edit free for a trial
         period of up to 31 days.  If you wish to continue using
         Tech-Edit after that period, you must pay a registration fee.
         If you choose not to pay the registration fee, you must
         stop using Tech-Edit, though you are still free to keep
         copies and pass them along to others.

         (3)  You may use your copy of Tech-Edit on a single computer.
         You may also install it on a computer attached to a
         network, or remove it from one computer and install it on a
         different one, provided there is no possibility that a
         single copy of Tech-Edit will be used on more than one computer
         at a time.  Network, site, and corporate licenses are
         available from Superior Soft.

         (4)  You may copy Tech-Edit for backup purposes, and you may
         give copies of the unregistered version to other
         individuals, which they may also use and copy under the
         terms of this agreement.  If you copy the unregistered
         version of Tech-Edit for others, you must include all of the
         files distributed with it.

         (5)  You may NOT give, sell, or otherwise transfer copies
         of the registered version of Tech-Edit to any other person for
         any reason.  However, you may transfer ownership of your
         registered copy to another person, provided that when you
         do so, you stop using Tech-Edit and remove it from your
         computer, and notify Superior Soft of the new owner.

         (6)  You may NOT distribute Tech-Edit other than through
         individual copies of the shareware archive passed to
         friends and associates for their individual use and
         distribution by electronic means where no profit is
         intended specific to Tech-Edit. Specifically, you may not
         place any part of the REGISTERED Tech-Edit package in
         any user group or commercial library without written
         permission from Superior Soft, and you may not distribute
         for a fee, or in any way sell copies of Tech-Edit or any
         part of the Tech-Edit package.

         (7)  Tech-Edit is a powerful editor.  Although we have attempted
         to build in reasonable safeguards, if you do not use Tech-Edit
         properly you may destroy files or cause other damage to
         your computer software and data.  You assume full

README.                Saturday, July 21, 1990 12:00 am               Page 3


         responsibility for the selection and use of Tech-Edit to achieve
         your intended results; in no event shall Superior Soft be
         responsible for any damages whatsoever due to errors in
         usage or your failure to read, understand, or follow
         instructions in the documentation.  Superior Soft limits
         its warranty to replacement of a defective program diskette
         or manual.

         (8)  Like all useful computer software, Tech-Edit may contain
         errors in programs or documentation.  If you find such an
         error or are otherwise dissatisfied with a registered copy
         of Tech-Edit, you may return the entire package at any time
         up to 30 days after purchase for a full refund of your
         original registration fee; such a refund shall be your sole
         remedy for any program error(s).  Superior Soft shall not
         be liable for any other costs incurred by you due to such
         errors.

         (9)  If you do not agree with these terms and conditions,
         you do not have permission from the copyright holder(s) to
         use Tech-Edit, and you must stop using it and remove it from
         your computer.

         (10)  Any use or distribution of Tech-Edit which violates this
         license agreement will be considered a copyright violation,
         and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

         (11)  The Tech-Edit source code or binary cannot be used in
         itself as a stand-alone product, nor can the source code be
         sold in any form.

         (12)  The Tech-Edit source code may be used only by the
         registered owner.

         (13) You may use Tech-Edit in your own product(s) as long
         as a Superior Soft copyright is displayed in the product(s).
         The copyright shall be in the form of a text message: "Technical
         Editor V2.5 Copyright (c) Superior Soft 1988,1989,1990". This
         message should appear at least once during the usage of the
         product(s).

         Limited Warranty

            Superior Soft warrants that the Tech-Edit diskette and manual
            distributed to registered users are fit for the purpose
            which they are intended.  Superior Soft will replace or
            refund the purchase price of the diskette and/or manual
            and/or any other parts or components of Tech-Edit found to
            be defective or not able to be used for the purpose which
            they are intended. If such defect is the fault of Superior
            Soft and not the result of misuse or abuse; and if the
            defective items are returned to Superior Soft within the
            warranty period of one year.

            Superior Soft makes no other warranties, expressed or
            implied, and Superior Soft's warranty is expressly limited
            to the cost of replacement of any defective diskette or
            other part.
