          Tech-Edit License Agreement
 
                (1)  The Tech-Edit program and all other programs and
                documentation distributed or shipped with it are
                copyrighted works protected by U.S. and international
                copyright law.  In the rest of this document, this
                collection of programs is referred to simply as "Tech-Edit".
                You are granted a license to use your copy of Tech-Edit only
                under the terms and conditions specified in this license
                agreement.
 
                (2)  Tech-Edit is a commercial software package.  It is not
                free, and it is not in the public domain.  It is
                distributed as shareware, which means that before you pay
                for the package, you may try it and see if you want to
                continue using it.  You may use Tech-Edit free for a trial
                period of up to 31 days.  If you wish to continue using
                Tech-Edit after that period, you must pay a registration fee.
                If you choose not to pay the registration fee, you must
                stop using Tech-Edit and remove it from your computer, though
                you are still free to keep copies and pass them along to
                others.
 
                (3)  You may use your copy of Tech-Edit on a single computer.
                You may also install it on a computer attached to a
                network, or remove it from one computer and install it on a
                different one, provided there is no possibility that a
                single copy of Tech-Edit will be used on more than one computer
                at a time.  Network, site, and corporate licenses are
                available from Superior Soft.
 
                (4)  You may copy Tech-Edit for backup purposes, and you may
                give copies of the unregistered version to other
                individuals, which they may also use and copy under the
                terms of this agreement.  If you copy the unregistered
                version of Tech-Edit for others, you must include all of the
                files distributed with it.
 
                (5)  You may NOT give, sell, or otherwise transfer copies
                of the registered version of Tech-Edit to any other person for
                any reason.  However, you may transfer ownership of your
                registered copy to another person, provided that when you
                do so, you stop using Tech-Edit and remove it from your
                computer, and notify Superior Soft of the new owner.
 
                (6)  You may NOT distribute Tech-Edit other than through
                individual copies of the unregistered version passed to
                friends and associates for their individual use and 
                distribution by electronic means where no profit is
                intended specific to Tech-Edit. Specifically, you may not 
                place Tech-Edit or any part of the Tech-Edit package in 
                any user group or commercial library without express 
                written permission from Superior Soft, and you may not 
                distribute for a fee, or in any way sell copies of 
                Tech-Edit or any part of the Tech-Edit package.
              
             (7)  Tech-Edit is a powerful editor.  While we have attempted
             to build in reasonable safeguards, if you do not use Tech-Edit
             properly you may destroy files or cause other damage to
             your computer software and data.  You assume full

             responsibility for the selection and use of Tech-Edit to achieve
             your intended results; in no event shall Superior Soft be
             responsible for any damages whatsoever due to errors in
             usage or your failure to read, understand, or follow
             instructions in the documentation.  Superior Soft limits
             its warranty to replacement of a defective program diskette
             or manual.
 
             (8)  Like all useful computer software, Tech-Edit may contain
             errors in programs or documentation.  If you find such an
             error or are otherwise dissatisfied with a registered copy
             of Tech-Edit, you may return the entire package at any time up
             to 3 months after purchase for a full refund of your
             original registration fee; such a refund shall be your sole
             remedy for any program error(s).  Superior Soft shall not
             be liable for any other costs incurred by you due to such
             errors.
 
             (9)  If you do not agree with these terms and conditions,
             you do not have permission from the copyright holder(s) to
             use Tech-Edit, and you must stop using it and remove it from
             your computer.
 
             (10)  Any use or distribution of Tech-Edit which violates this
             license agreement will be considered a copyright violation,
             and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
             
             (11)  The Tech-Edit source code or binary cannot be used in 
             itself as a stand-alone product nor can the source code be 
             sold in any form.
             
             (12)  The Tech-Edit source code may be used only by the 
             registered owner.
             
             (13) You may use Tech-Edit in your own product(s) as long
             as a Superior Soft copyright is displayed in the product(s).
             The copyright shall be in the form of a text message: "Technical
             Editor V2.0 Copyright (c) Superior Soft 1988,1989,1990". This 
             message should appear atleast once during the usage of the 
             product(s).
 
 
           Limited Warranty
 
                Superior Soft warrants that the Tech-Edit diskette and manual
                distributed to registered users are fit for the purpose for
                which they are intended.  Superior Soft will replace or
                refund the purchase price of the diskette and/or manual
                and/or any other parts or components of Tech-Edit found to be
                defective or not able to be used for the purpose for which
                they are intended, if such defect is the fault of Superior
                Soft and not the result of misuse or abuse, and if the
                defective items are returned to Superior Soft within the
                warranty period of one year.
 
                Superior Soft makes no other warranties, express or
                implied, and Superior Soft's warranty is expressly limited
                to the cost of replacement of any defective diskette or
                other part.
