BBSFiles.com programs are not Public Domain programs and thus are not free. These programs are copyrighted (c) 1980-2005 by Doug Rhea and/or A.S.S.I.S.T., Inc.

Non-registered users of these programs are granted a 90 day license to evaluate the programs suitability for their requirements. FREE COPY keys are provided so all aspects of the programs may be tested, but this does not imply those keys should be used indefinitely. Any usage of these programs beyond the evaluation time period requires registration of each copy of the program used. Use of non-registered or FREE COPY copies of these programs beyond the original evaluation period is not prohibited, but strongly frowned upon.

The programs may NOT be modified in any respect, for any reason, including but not limited to, de-compiling, disassembling, or reverse engineering of the programs. The opening title screen, help screens, and all other proprietary program output must never be altered, removed, bypassed or modified by any means.

You are free to distribute the PUBLICLY AVAILABLE shareware version of these programs to others subject to the above restrictions and also the following:

The above license statement does not apply to the REGISTERED version of these programs. REGISTERED version does NOT include the FREE COPY registration provided in many of the archives, but only valid registered copies provided to individuals or companies by Doug Rhea. The registered software of BBSFiles.com is protected under United States Copyright and Trademark Laws. It must be treated just like a book with certain exceptions as follows:

A. A.S.S.I.S.T., Inc. authorizes the making of archival copies of the registered software for the sole purpose of backing-up your software and protecting your investment from possible loss.

B. The medium on which the registered software is recorded is transferred to the customer, but not the title to the software.

C. The customer may resell or distribute unmodified copies of the registered software provided the customer has purchased from A.S.S.I.S.T., Inc. one copy of the registered software for each one sold or distributed. The provisions of this software license shall also be applicable to third parties receiving copies of the registered software from the customer.

D. By saying, "just like a book", A.S.S.I.S.T., Inc. means that the registered 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 ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBILITY of it being used at one location while being used at another. Just like a book that cannot be read by two different people in two different locations at the same time.
