LEGAL NOTICE - DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
==================================
Zip Explorer 6.0 is Copyright (c) 1998-1999 Carsten Arnholm. 
All rights reserved. 

The software application "Zip Explorer" is not produced or sold, offered,
maintained, sponsored or endorsed in any way by the Iomega Corporation. The
author is not and has never been in any way connected to the Iomega
Corporation. The term "Zip Explorer" refers to the fact that the program is
fast and is able to catalog and explore compressed zip files. The term
does not refer to, and must not be confused with, any trademark owned by the
Iomega Corporation. 


Zip Explorer 6.0 is distributed in 2 versions:

1. Free trial version - You are encouraged to copy and distribute this version.
   You may not demand or accept any payment for such distribution.
   The trial version is identified by the opening "nag" screen, and by the
   30 day expiration limit, after which the program will stop functioning.
   The trial version is for product evaluation use only. Any other use 
   requires purchase of the registered version. 

2. Registered version - You may not copy or distribute the registered version, or
   any of its executable files (*.EXE and *.DLL). The program and accompanying files 
   are copyright material. No part of the Registered version executable files may be 
   distributed without the express written permission from the author. 
   The online help files (*.HTM and *.GIF) are however freely distributable.
   The catalog files (*.ZAR) produced by the program are also freely distributable.	

   The registered version has no opening "nag" screen, and it does not expire.
   Use of the registered version requires paying the registration fee. 


REQUIRED NUMBER OF LICENCES
===========================

   Non-commercial (private) use: Purchasing the registered version gives the person 
   registered and his/her household rights to use the registered version for an 
   unlimited time. 

   Commercial (Corporate) use: Any company or other entity that makes use of the 
   software for the purpose of making profit are commercial users. 
   Purchasing the registered version gives the person registered rights to use the 
   registered version for an unlimited time. Additional users in the same company 
   (or other entity) must purchase additional licences. The number of required 
   licences is identified by the highest value of 
  
      - Number of computers the program is installed on.
      - Number of actual simultaneous users.

   Example: If your company installs the software on 5 computers, 5 licences 
   must be purchased. If any of the installations are networked, and the number
   of actual simultaneous users is higher than the number of computers the program 
   is installed on, a separate licence must be purchased for each additional user.
