General comments about using DAED.
Notes on the DEWAR Utilities package
DAED is one of a collection of utilities which make up the Dewar Utilities
Package.
The policy on secondary distribution is as follows. You may distribute copies
of the entire packages (but not individual programs from it) providing that you
make it clear that the distribution is on a trial basis. Non-profit
organizations such as PC clubs may also distribute trial copies on the same
basis.
If you receive a trial version under such an arrangement then, if you decide
that the package is useful, you should send a check for $40 to the address
below, whereupon you will be registered as an official user, and you will
receive a copy of the latest version of the utilities.
