B. License Agreement
--------------------
Shareware is software that's publicly distributed, and paid for according
to an honor system. Frequently innovative, always inexpensive, it
represents one of the best sources of software for personal computers. If
you use a shareware program, you're duty-bound to pay for it; if not, you
simply delete it. 

DISCLAIMER - LICENSE AGREEMENT

Users of Lotto-Picks must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
"Lotto-Picks is supplied as is.  The author and EIP disclaims all

Lotto-Picks is a "Shareware Program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share the file LOTOPICK.ZIP
with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is
to provide personal computer users with quality software
without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for
programmers to continue to develop new products.  If you find this
program useful and find that you are using Lotto-Picks and continue to
use Lotto-Picks after a 30 day trial period, you must make a
registration payment of US$14.95 to EIP Enterprises.  The
US$14.95 registration fee will license one serial numbered copy
for use on any one computer at any one time. After receiving your
authorization number and the About window shows LottoPicks
properly registered, make a backup of all files in LotoPick 
directory.

Commercial users of Lotto-Picks must register and pay for their
copies of Lotto-Picks within 30 days of first use or their license
is withdrawn.  Site-License arrangements may be made by
contacting EIP Enterprises.

Anyone distributing Lotto-Picks for any kind of remuneration must
first contact EIP Enterprises at the address below for
authorization.  This authorization will be automatically granted
to distributors recognized by the ASP as adhering to it's
guidelines for Shareware distributors, and such distributors may
begin offering Lotto-Picks immediately, however, EIP Enterprises
must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept
up-to-date with the latest version of Lotto-Picks.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of LOTOPICK.ZIP along to your
friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.  All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of Lotto-Picks.

D. Unofficial Game Files
------------------------

  EIP is considering the possibility of also providing complete updated,
  as updated as can be reasonably expected which may be three weeks old,
  game files, and this depends upon the number of request.  It would not be
  feasable to undertake this if only a few requests per state lotto game
  were ordered.  The tentative price per game file is going to be about
  $4.00, but this is not firm yet.  Send inquiries to EIP via snail mail or
  e-mail to find out if this offer is available and the current prices if
  so.  Remember, this offer, and most sources of lotto results as well, is
  to be considered "Unofficial".
