without cost and  copies may be  passed on so  long as distribution  is
free of charge.

ST-Guide may be included  free of charge  with ANY software  (including
commercial and  Shareware software)  which  offers an  ST-Guide  format
hypertext (.HYP). However  I would appreciate  some recognition for  my
efforts and propose the following suggestions to software authors:

!begin_itemize
!item A reference to the Fairware status of ST-Guide along with my  contact
  details should be included in your documentation.
!item You send  me a  copy of your  software along  with the  corresponding
  hypertext, as a sort of author's copy.
!end_itemize

In return  for your  support  we'll continue  to develop  ST-Guide  and
provide regular updates.

Since the primary use for  ST-Guide is writing documentation for  other
software, it may be distributed in two forms:

!begin_itemize
!item The complete ST-Guide  distribution including all the  associated
      files. Naturally this is my preferred method, even if ST-Guide is
      included with other software.

!item The  ST-Guide  'Lite'  version may  be  distributed,  which  only
      includes the viewer  and hypertext for  ST-Guide. This method  is
      ONLY allowed if it is included in other program packages (!B)and(!b)  the
      documentation for this program is in ST-Guide format.
!end_itemize

If the distribution is an  addition to any kind  of program, or via  PD
suppliers, we would appreciate a short note about this so that we can:
!begin_itemize !compressed
    !item estimate how widely the package is distributed, and
    !item possibly be able to provide information about updates.
!end_itemize

Naturally we  are also  very interested  in seeing  which programs  use
ST-Guide. So if possible, please send us a copy of your program.

!index Contributions
(!B)Contributions:(!b) ST-Guide is  the result  of  a great  deal of  time  and
               effort and the decision to publish ST-Guide as  Fairware
               was taken to encourage  widespread availability and  use
               by software authors. But it  would be only fair for  you
               to send us  a small contribution  for our efforts.  Your
               donation is vital  to ensure the  continued support  and
               development of ST-Guide, so  please register your  copy.
               As fellow authors,  I'm sure you  realise how  important
               feedback and support is.
