By using this software you agree to abide by the limitations of this copyright notice.

You may not modify this notice, nor any of the object code or source code that it applies to.

This software comes without express or implied warranty. No claim is made about the suitability of this software for any purpose and neither I nor SteveSoft shall be liable for damages suffered by the user of this software.

This software is distributed as shareware. It may be distributed freely as long as this notice is installed in a prominent place and the person or company receiving it is clearly notified of the presence and location of this notice, and can easily read its contents.

This software may be used in one of two ways:

  1. Programming and development, as a software library: If you are compiling and developing software with package pat, you may use it if you meet one of the criteria below:
    1. You are a non-profit or educational institution.
    2. You are using it for a trial period of one month or less.
    3. You have purchased a license.
  2. From within a registered application program: In this case, no license need be purchased. The program should contain a message which is displayed either at startup or from within an "About" menu item which says that "package pat was licensed for use by this application."

Registration: This costs $10.00 per installation ($25.00 per installation on a distributed file system such as AFS or NFS). Registration entitles you to a copy of ReGameDes, the Regular Expression game designer, and the right to use this software to develop, distribute, and sell software that uses this package as noted above. If you want to register, please mail a check to Steve Brandt, c/o Lola Peterson, P.O. Box 482 Tioga, PA 16946, USA. Please include your email address in the memo line, and also send me an email message which contains the check number and the number of machines you are licensing. A receipt will be sent upon request, but normally you should consider your cancelled check to be your receipt.

Source will be made available for $50.00. This does not entitle redistribution of the source to other persons or organizations. It is to be kept confidential. A source license may be purchased on behalf of another person or organization, but that person or organization must, in turn, agree to abide by the terms of this notice.

Please contact me if you do not feel my price or usage restrictions are not adequate for your needs, or if for some reason you are unable to pay by check. I am eager to make sales, and am friendly.

Happy computing!
