          area.

          In addition copies are uploaded to various Compuserve forums'
          software libraries, including the Microsoft Windows and third-
          party Windows Developers forums (MSOFT, MSWIN, MSOPSYS, WINAPA,
          WINAPB), the Samna forum (LOTUSWP f/k/a SAMNA), and other Windows
          and PC related forums, Ziff-Davis and PC Magazine's CompuServe

          purchased by contacting various public software libraries,
          including:

          a disk set of the current version of WinNAV, but do not intend to
          register WinNAV at that time, you should contact the Public soft-
          ware Library direct as to their current fees.  It should also be
          noted that PsL accepts payment by credit card, and is authorized

          No organization, individual or software library service, other
          than the author or the Public software Library (PsL), is autho-
          rized to "register" WinNAV or distribute "registered" copies.
          When you register your copy of WinNAV, you will be provided an
          authorization code by return mail.

          Orders for disk sets of future releases of WinNAV, for register-
          ing individual copies or for purchasing multiple copies or site
          licenses, should be directed to:

                                 Richard S. Patterson

          Please note that we are unable to take phone or credit card
          orders at this time, and such orders must be directed to the
          Public software Library.

          All registrations or purchases of individual copies through the
          author must be prepaid by check or money order.  Purchase orders
          are generally not accepted for orders of less than nine (9) reg-
          istered copies, and must be pre-approved (please refer to the
          "Purchase Order" section of this manual for additional
          information and costs).  It is strongly recommended that orders
          from outside of the United States be paid by Postal Money Orders.

          Special multiple copy discounts and site licenses are available.

          Full information on registration and licensing are contained
          elsewhere in this manual.


          DISTRIBUTION, REGISTRATION AND LICENSING OF EVALUATION COPIES

          WinNAV is a copyrighted and proprietary work; however, unregis-
          tered evaluation copies may be distributed through accepted
          shareware channels.










                                     Appendix B-2
















          PERMISSIBLE DISTRIBUTION OF EVALUATION COPIES

          To ensure future development and support of WinNAV, you are
          encouraged to distribute unregistered evaluation copies to oth-
          ers, subject to the terms and conditions of the limited evalu-
          ation license and restrictions.


          GENERAL DISTRIBUTION

          Operators of electronic bulletin boards (Sysops) are encouraged
          to post WinNAV for downloading by their users.

          WinNAV may be uploaded to and downloaded from commercial systems
          such as CompuServe, the Source, and BIX, so long as the only
          charge paid by the subscriber is for on-line time and there is no
          charge for the product itself.  Those copying, sharing, and/or
          electronically transmitting this product are required not to
          delete or modify the copyright notice and restrictive notices
          from the program or documentation; anyone doing so may be subject
          to civil damages and criminal prosecution.

          If you are passing WinNAV on to others, uploading it to a bulle-
          tin board system, or including it in a users group library, do
          not separate the files contained in the packed ARC, ZIP or LZH
          archive file -- pass the entire packed file on to the intended
          party.  This ensures that those who receive the product will have
          all the correct configuration utilities and documentation neces-
          sary to get WinNAV up and running quickly, and avoid possible
          corruption of the files.  A listing of what files you should have
          and the purpose of each is listed in this manual or the accompa-
          nying README.TXT file.

          WinNAV documentation may not be modified, nor may be distributed
          separate from the application program.  In addition, the distri-
          bution documentation may not be printed, copied or otherwise
          reproduced, by any means, without the written permission of the
          author and copyright holders or pursuant to a registered user
          license.










                                     Appendix B-3
















          COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, commercial vendors and distrib-
          utors of "public domain" or user-supported software libraries
          must obtain written permission to distribute copies of WinNAV,
          except as hereinafter expressly permitted.

          No one may use WinNAV as a promotion for any commercial venture
          or as an enticement for the user to pay for any program, product,
          or service unless they have received the express written permis-
          sion of the program's author.

          In order to distribute WinNAV, a dealer or disk vendor must com-
          ply with the following conditions:

              (1) You must obtain written permission from Richard S.
                  Patterson to distribute WinNAV, unless you comply
                  with the provisions of paragraph (7) below.  If you
                  receive no reply, write again; my silence does not
                  constitute permission, and you may not distribute
                  "pending" receipt of permission.

              (2) A maximum disk fee as set by Richard S. Patterson in
                  the vendor contract must not be exceeded.  WinNAV may
                  not be included on any disk sold for more than this
                  maximum, including CD-ROM or optical disks, without
                  express written permission from Richard S. Patterson.

              (3) Although not required, it is strongly recommended
                  that each dealer or disk vendor, purchase a master
                  disk copy direct from Richard S. Patterson, rather
                  than distribute copies obtained by electronic means.
                  This insures that your purchasers will obtain the
                  full, uncorrupted distribution package, and the most
                  current release and utilities.  These disks may be
                  ordered by use of the registration form distributed
                  with this package; please indicate thereon that you
                  are requesting a master disk for redistribution pur-
                  poses.  All vendors who have ordered disk copies of
                  the next release, should receive them within ten (10)
                  days of the public release date.

                  Vendors who wish to receive disk copies of a current
                  or future official release of the WinNAV distribution
                  package, direct from the author, must provide (1) a
                  self-addressed stamped disk mailer together with a



                                     Appendix B-4
















                  preformatted high-density diskette (3.5" 1.4 meg rec-
                  ommended), or (2) $5.00 to cover postag, handling and
                  media charges.  We are sorry that we cannot provide
                  "free" disk sets at this time, due to the high volume
                  of requests we have been receiving.

              (4) Vendors may not modify or delete any files in the
                  archive file, and should distribute full copies of
                  any master disk.  Vendors may add a "GO" program,
                  and/or a reasonable number of small text files
                  designed to assist or provide a service to the user,
                  but these added files must be easily identifiable and
                  end-users must be allowed to delete the added files.

              (5) Vendors must make a reasonable effort to distribute
                  only the most recent versions of WinNAV.  Generally,
                  we will attempt to notify all vendors who have
                  requested and received written permission to distrib-
                  ute WinNAV of each major update as they are released.

              (6) All disk vendors must comply with any and all vendor
                  guidelines or vendor requirements set forth by the
                  Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP); for
                  more information about ASP, contact its chairman or
                  ASP, located at 325 118th Ave. S. E., Suite 200,
                  Belleview, WA 98005.  Violation of any ASP guideline
                  or requirement automatically revokes permission to
                  distribute WinNAV.

              (7) Written permission to distribute evaluation copies of
                  WinNAV is not required, for those vendors who comply
                  with paragraphs (2)-(6) above, and agree to distrib-
                  ute WinNAV on a separate disk, rather than as a
                  collection of utilitiy programs.  This disk must be
                  identified in their respective catalog and advertise-
                  ments as the FlashPoint WinNAV disk and by a seperate
                  disk or order number.  In addition, as disk space
                  permits, the vendor must include reasonably current
                  copies of the following third-party shareware utili-
                  ties  which are supported by WinNAV, i.e., PKZIP,
                  LHARC/LHA, ARC and/or PKARC, McAfee's SCAN and
                  Starling's CVT-22; copies of these utilities will be
                  supplied the vendor pursuant to paragraph (3) above.

          LIMITED EVALUATION LICENSE AND RESTRICTIONS

          The unregistered evaluation copy of WinNAV is, for purposes of
          distribution, a shareware product.  It may be freely copied and
          distributed for evaluation pursuant only, pursuant to the follow-
          ing rules:

              (1) The program and this documentation may not be modi-
                  fied in any way.

              (2) A copy of this documentation is provided with the
                  program.

              (3) No charge, other than a media and handling charge not
                  to exceed $10.00, excluding actual postage, is made.

              (4) Users of the program must purchase a Registered
                  User's License should they decide to use this product
                  beyond the evaluation period.

          One license per usable copy of WinNAV is required, and the pro-
          gram may not be used beyond a thirty (30) evaluation period
          without registration.  A single archive or backup copy is not
          considered a "usable copy" for evaluation or registration pur-
          poses.

          Please note that if you purchased a disk containing this software
          from a public domain/shareware software distributor or vendor you
          have paid the media and handling charges as permitted above.
          This is not a registered copy, and you have not purchased a Reg-
          istered User's License.  Purchasing a license is required for
          continued use.

          No other person, other than the author Richard S. Patterson, may
          accept payment or royalties for this product.

          Furthermore, note that this license does not include the right to
          distribute for profit or otherwise sell WinNAV, except as indi-
          cated above.
