    The copying of the original distribution file is allowed only under the
    following circumstances:

      -For the purpose of showing other people the product only if all of

    The payment of the registration cost for PCPS also registers the user

    The cost of registration should be paid, for Australian and New Zealand
    residents in Australian dollars, and for international residents in US
    dollars.  The preferable form of payment is an international bank draft
    or a money order drawn in either Australian or US dollars.  US bills
    have been successfully sent through the mail but should be sandwiched
    between materials which disguise the contents.

    This registration cost covers the user for use of the current and any
    new versions of the above utilities released within 12 months from the
    date of receipt of the payment on a single machine.  The table below
    shows the reducing cost scale for larger site licenses:

        Number of licenses      PCPS and MicroSource Utils Registration
                                (per license)

         1st                    $20
         2nd-9th                $15
         10th+                  $10

    E.g. For 3 licenses the cost would be (1 x $20) + (2 x $15) = $50.

    A 20% discount on the above rates applies to genuine educational
    institutes.

    If $US payment is made by cheque drawn on a US bank, an extra $5 should
    be added to cover clearance fees.

    SITE LICENSE POLICY:  MicroSource considers software to be like a book
    where many people may use it, but not at the same time.  As such, any
    site requiring a site license should register as many licenses as is
    required to always cover the maximum number of projected concurrent
    users.  This number is to be decided by the site administrator and will
    NOT be questioned by MicroSource.

        E.g.  The administrator of a site consisting of 20 machines may
              decide that no more than 5 users will ever be using the
              software at the same time, and so would register 5 licenses.

    To register, print out the file REGISTER.DOC and fill in the blanks or
    write a note containing the same information, enclose payment and send
    it to:
