                         Distribution Requirements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Individuals who wish to distribute the Coeli package to friends or
associates may do so in accordance with the restrictions outlined in
LICENSE.TXT.

Computer Clubs and User Groups wishing to add the Coeli package to
their disk library may do so in accordance with the Distribution
Restrictions listed below.



Limited Distribution License:
-----------------------------

As the exclusive copyright holder for Stella 2000, Swimming Elk Software
authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions.

ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to
distribute the Stella 2000 package. Non-ASP member vendors must request
permission prior to distributing this package.

The Stella 2000 package is defined as containing all the material listed
in the VENDINFO.DIZ file. If any files listed in VENDINFO.DIZ, or 
VENDINFO.DIZ itself, are missing, then the package is not complete and 
distribution is prohibited.  Please contact us to obtain a complete package 
suitable for distribution.

The Stella 2000 package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed
as a complete package, without exception. The VENDINFO.DIZ information file
contains a list of all files forming part of the Coeli package.

   Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation
   batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable.

No price or other compensation may be charged for the Stella 2000
package.  A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette,
shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed
US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, US$12.00 for international distribution from
inside the U.S., or 6 GBP within Europe.

Disk Sets & CD-ROMs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The  package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive
package.  Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging
offer, without requesting permission from Swimming Elk Software.

   ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the Coeli package
   as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM
   package) may do so provided that all the other restrictions are met.

   Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the
   Coeli package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk
   set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from Swimming Elk Software
   prior to beginning such a distribution.

   If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection,
   please check the date stamps on the version you have.  If the version
   is over three (3) months old then please contact us to ensure that you
   have the most current version.


Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you would like to distribute the Coeli package as a Disk-of-
the-Month, or as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the
following restrictions apply:

   ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given
   permission to distribute the Coeli package under the Disk-of-
   the-Month style of distribution.

   Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you
   have the most current version of the software.

   You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory
   of old (out of date) disks.  Only current versions may be shipped as
   Disk-of-the-Month disks.

The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using
any means, without the written permission of Swimming Elk Software.  In other
words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED
(hardcopy) form.

The Stella 2000 package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.

You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other
literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE".  Shareware is
"Try-Before-You-Buy" commercial software, it is not free.

Swimming Elk Software prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the
Stella 2000 package, without written permission from Swimming Elk Software.
If the version you have is over three (3) months old, please contact us
to ensure that you have the most current version (please check the date
stamps on the files that you have).

Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile,
disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program
except as provided in this agreement.  Any such unauthorized use shall
result in immediate and automatic termination of this license.


Distributors are especially asked to avoid the following terms when 
describing the Coeli software package:

nag, nagware, free, freeware, free software, free shareware, public domain, 
demo, demonstration software, or any other term which admits of an 
interpretation not in keeping with the official product definition given.

Non-compliance with this request may invalidate previous licence 
permissions granted by Swimming Elk Software to the distributor (Licensee).

All rights not expressly granted here are reserved to Swimming Elk Software.



OFFICIAL PRODUCT DEFINITION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fully and continuously functioning evaluation software package distributed 
via shareware channels, hereafter to be designated as Shareware or Shareware package.

For definitions and explanations pertaining to matters of copyright and
shareware distribution, we would direct you to the files Shr-ware.doc and
