DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT.

Users of PRESENT-iT must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
PRESENT-iT is supplied as is.  The author disclaims all
warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or conse-
quential, which may result from the use of PRESENT-iT."

PRESENT-iT is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge
to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your
friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of
another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is to
provide personal computer users with quality software without
high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products.  If you find this program
useful and find that you are using PRESENT-iT and continue to use
PRESENT-iT after the trial period, you must make a registration payment of $20.  The registration fee will license one copy 
for use on any one computer at any one time.  You must treat this 
software just like a book.  An example is that this software may be used 
by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer
location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it
being used at one location while it's being used at another.
Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the
same time.

Commercial users of PRESENT-iT must register and pay for their copies of 
PRESENT-iT within 21 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. 
Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting the author.

Anyone distributing PRESENT-iT for any kind of remuneration should
first contact the author at the address below for authorization.
This authorization will generally be automatically granted.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of PRESENT-iT along to your
friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their
copy if they find that they can use it.  All registered users
will receive a copy of the latest version of PRESENT-iT.
