WINDOWS COMMAND LICENSE INFORMATION This document contains information on the legal and ethical use of all versions of Windows Command. Using Windows Command implies agreement with all the terms described below. 1) COPYRIGHT INFORMATION Windows Command is a copyrighted program, protected under United States Copyright Law and provisions in international treaties. These laws prohibit unauthorized copying, and other unlawful incorporation of any portion of this program into any other work without express permission from the author. Violation of the terms of this license agreement is unlawful. Under no circumstances may any version of Windows Command be reverse assembled, reverse compiled, or translated in any way. 2) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Windows Command is a powerful command-line interface for Windows, and it provides access to many low-level operating system functions. Because of this, you should use Windows Command carefully. You assume full responsibility for all results brought about by commands issued intentionally or accidentally at the Windows Command command line. The limititation of liability for Windows Command is as follows: in no event will I be held liable for any consequential or incidental losses of profits, business interruption, loss of records or data or any other loss arising from the use of Windows Command, even if I have been forewarned of such damages. I will also not be held liable for consequenses arising from incompatibilities of Windows Command with third-party products. 3) SHAREWARE VERSION Evaluation of the shareware version of Windows Command takes place in a 21-day period after the first installation on your machine. This period of time should be enough for you to decide whether or not the program will meet your needs, and whether you would like to register. AFTER THIS EVALUATION PERIOD EXPIRES, YOU MUST EITHER REGISTER, OR STOP USING WINDOWS COMMAND. COPYING OF THE SHAREWARE VERSION IS PERMITTED ONLY IF ALL THE ORIGINAL FILES CONTAINED IN THE ORIGINAL SHAREWARE RELEASE MADE BY MICHAEL B. TIERNEY ARE LEFT TOGETHER, UNCHANGED IN ANY WAY, AND ARE TRANSFERRED AS A COMPLETE PACKAGE. 4) REGISTERED VERSION A user is registered when the complete registration package, including the required information and registration fee is received at the address listed below. The registered copy of Windows Command will be mailed as soon as possible. Once you mail your complete registration package, you may continue to use the shareware version of Windows Command until your registered version arrives. Registered users of Windows Command are granted a license to use the program within the rights provided in this document. The registered user will own the magnetic media that Windows Command is recorded on, but the entire code recorded on that medium remains the property of Michael B. Tierney; the title to the program itself is not transferred upon registration. This license is not a sale of the original code or any copy. It is a sale of the right to execute the code in a normal fashion under Microsoft Windows. COPYING OF THE REGISTERED VERSION IS PERMITTED ONLY BY THE USER TO WHOM THE PARTICULAR COPY OF WINDOWS COMMAND IS REGISTERED, AND MAY BE DONE SO FOR USE ONLY BY THE REGISTERED USER, AND FOR NO OTHER INDIVIDUAL. A registered user may not modify the Windows Command program, or incorporate any portion of the program into any other work, without first obtaining express written consent from Michael B. Tierney. MODIFYING WINDOWS COMMAND, SELLING OR GIVING AWAY OF A COPY OF THE REGISTERED VERSION OF WINDOWS COMMAND TO ANY THIRD PARTY, OR USE OF A REGISTERED VERSION OF WINDOWS COMMAND BY AN INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN THE REGISTERED USER IS A VIOLATION OF THIS LICENSE AND THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS. The registered user for each registered copy of Windows Command will be displayed in the "About" dialog box, which can be viewed by issuing the "About" command at the Windows Command command-line, or by selecting Help-About from the menu. When updates of Windows Command are released, registered users will be given the option of a free or reduced-price upgrade. If an upgrade is purchased, the original license will cover the upgrade as well as the original product. REGISTERED USERS MAY NOT SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN, OR TRANSFER THE LICENSE FOR WINDOWS COMMAND, NOR CAN THEY SELL, LEASE OR RENT THE PROGRAM. If a registered user fails to comply with all provisions of their license, the license will be considered terminated. When the license is terminated by either user request, or by violation of the license agreement, all copies of the software must be deleted. 5) USE RESTRICTIONS The shareware version of Windows Command may be used on as many computers as is needed so long as the rules above are strictly followed. The same is true for the registered version, however, only one machine may be running a copy of the program at any one time, and the program may not be transferred electronically over a network to another computer. After 21 days, the shareware version must be either registered or discarded, and only the registered user may use his/her registered copy of Windows Command. 6) NETWORK REGISTRATION Windows Command may be registered for a network or multi-user machine by purchasing a discounted multi-user license. When using Windows Command on a network or multi- user machine, the system's administrator must understand that use of Windows Command by a non-registered user (any user other than users of the registered network or machine) is illegal, and the administrator will be held legally responsible for enforcing the policies of this license agreement on their system, and insuring that only authorized users have access to Windows Command. To register Windows Command for use on a network or multi-user machine, please write to me at the address below. Please include in your letter the number of users on your system, how you would like to provide access to Windows Command (whether on a server, or on individual workstations), the number of copies of program disks you would like to receive, and an address, telephone or FAX number where you can be contacted. You will then receive further instructions on pricing, and how to place your order. 7) QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS While I have carefully tested Windows Command and all its features for proper function, I cannot guarantee that there will be absolutely no bugs or other program errors (no software designer can). If you detect a problem that can be reproduced consistently, I ask that you please contact me as soon as possible, and I will do my best to correct the problem. My address is listed below.
