PCDESK is a "Shareware Program" and is provided at no charge to the user
for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends or associates, but
please do not give it away altered or as part of other software. The essence
of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
quality software at reasonable prices, and yet to provide incentive for pro-
grammers to continue to develop new products. If you find the program useful,
and find that you are continuing to use PCDESK after a reasonable trial
period, you must make a registration payment to the author. The registration
fee will license ONE COPY for use on any ONE COMPUTER at any ONE TIME.

                        --- VENDOR INFORMATION ---

Anyone distributing PCDESK for any kind of remuneration must first contact
Robert Lindsay Wells at the address above for authorization. This author-
ization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines
for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering PCDESK
immediately (However Robert Lindsay Wells must be advised so that the
distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of PCDESK).
