Legal information
--------------------
This program and its accompanying documentation are Shareware. The only 
difference between evaluation and full version is a reminder screen on 
program start and disabling of keys F3 to F12. Thus usability is only 
slightly reduced.
The Shareware principle states that you may test the product for a 
limited time or to a limited extent freely, when exceeding these limits, 
however, either remove the product completely from your system or convert 
it into the full version by ordering, then being subject to the usual 
copyright rules without the limitations mentioned. In the case of Backer 
the limitation is that you must not use the evaluation version for more 
than 30 days. Remember: Trust is the foundation of the Shareware 
principle!
All users of the evaluation version of Backer are granted a limited 
license to copy the product only for the trial use by themselves or 
others, provided that Backer is copied in its full and unmodified form. 
The copy must include all files necessary to permit full operation of the 
program. It must also include this documentation. Use of evaluation 
copies of Backer by any person in connection with a business, 
corporation, educational institution, or government agency is forbidden. 
By using the evaluation version of Backer you acknowledge that you have 
read and understood this limited license and agree to be bound by its 
terms and conditions. The full version must not be distributed.

Improvements on version 2.8
------------------------------
Version 2.99a among other things has substantial improvements in handling 
large data volumes. See the online help under "What is new in version 
2.99a?" to learn details.
