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

As the exclusive copyright holder for FM StepUp, ChaoSoft
authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions.

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

The FM StepUp package is defined as containing all the material
listed in the PACKING.LST text file.  If any files listed in the
PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are
missing, then the package is not complete and distribution is
forbidden.  Please contact us to obtain a complete package
suitable for distribution.

The FM StepUp 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
PACKING.LST text file contains a list of all files that are part
of the FM StepUp 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 FM StepUp
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$5.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$8.00
internationally.

   restrictions are met.

   Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the FM
   StepUp package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk
   set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from ChaoSoft
   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 release date of the version you
   have.  If the version is over three (3) months old then please
