		NewsClip Filtering System Evaluation Licence
			       April 19, 1990


This product has been released as what we call "EVALU-Ware."  (This is our
name for what some people call Shareware.)  This means that you may copy
this source package, unmodified, and with this Licence and all copyright
notices intact, and provide copies to your friends and associates.

Recipients of the package may compile it on their machines and try it out
in an 'evaluation' period.   At the end of the evaluation period (20 days),
you decide if you wish to continue using the system.  If you do, you
are required to pay a fee to register the program and licence the software
for ongoing use.   Registered users also get typeset manuals, support and
updates.

If you make a binary of this package for a specific variant of the Unix OS,
you may also distribute that, so long as you include this Licence file.
Once you register the product, check for terms regarding its use in the
use manual.

You can register by phone (toll-free), mail or electronic mail!

What stops you from using the product after the evaluation period
without licencing it?  Only your own honesty.  We have released this
product as EVALU-ware, because many users wish a chance to get a full look
at a system before paying for it.  In addition, in the Unix world, there
is no one medium of distribution that is convenient for all customers.
So in theory, it's good for us and good for the customers.

Unfortunately, we do this at considerable risk.  This history of 'Shareware'
is grim.  All but a tiny handful of 'shareware' software publishers report
that they received neglibable revenues from this method of distribution.
While bad software and dishonest users are part of the reason for this, it
is believed that the principle cause of this problem is honest users who
simply never get around to paying.  To combat this, we have made it very
easy to arrange payment.

If you decide to licence this product, you may pay in several ways.  Major
firms may send a purchase order.  Other users may pay by cheque, money order
or Visa/MasterCard/American Express.

Properly typeset NewsClip manuals are available for $20 USD ($24 CDN)
via mail or phone order.  This amount will be deducted from any licence
fee paid at a later date.  Manuals are 180 pages.

ClariNet customers may use NewsClip at no charge.  If you cancel your
ClariNet subscription after a short time, 50% of all money paid for the
subscription can be applied to the above licence fees if you wish to
continue using NewsClip after the subscription terminates.

If you have an E-mail link that allows commercial traffic (some limited
sections of the Internet don't) you can actually E-mail your registration
order.  Beware that if you use multiple UUCP hops, Unix E-mail is anything
but secure.  On the other hand, as you are allowed to contest any unsigned
credit card charge, things can't get too bad.

E-mail your card number and expiry, your name, company's name (if applicable)
and address, along with the size and type of computer you plan to run
NewsClip on to newsclip@clarinet.com.

Bug Reports:
	All software has bugs, of course, particularly the first release
	of something to wide distribution.   Thus, if you're the first
	to report a bug, single user registration is free.  Thanks!
	Mail to clipsupport@clarinet.com.   This is also the address
	for technical support for already registered users.
