WINDOWS COMMAND LICENSE INFORMATION
This document contains information on the legal and ethical use
of all versions of Windows Command. Using Windows Command
implies agreement with all the terms described below.
1) COPYRIGHT INFORMATION
Windows Command is a copyrighted program, protected
under United States Copyright Law and provisions in
international treaties. These laws prohibit unauthorized
copying, and other unlawful incorporation of any portion of
this program into any other work without express permission
from the author. Violation of the terms of this license
agreement is unlawful.
Under no circumstances may any version of Windows
Command be reverse assembled, reverse compiled, or
translated in any way.
2) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Windows Command is a powerful command-line interface
for Windows, and it provides access to many low-level
operating system functions. Because of this, you should use
Windows Command carefully. You assume full responsibility
for all results brought about by commands issued
intentionally or accidentally at the Windows Command command
line.
The limititation of liability for Windows Command is as
follows: in no event will I be held liable for any
consequential or incidental losses of profits, business
interruption, loss of records or data or any other loss
arising from the use of Windows Command, even if I have been
forewarned of such damages. I will also not be held liable
for consequenses arising from incompatibilities of Windows
Command with third-party products.
3) SHAREWARE VERSION
Evaluation of the shareware version of Windows Command
takes place in a 21-day period after the first installation
on your machine. This period of time should be enough for
you to decide whether or not the program will meet your
needs, and whether you would like to register. AFTER THIS
EVALUATION PERIOD EXPIRES, YOU MUST EITHER REGISTER, OR STOP
USING WINDOWS COMMAND.
COPYING OF THE SHAREWARE VERSION IS PERMITTED ONLY IF
ALL THE ORIGINAL FILES CONTAINED IN THE ORIGINAL SHAREWARE
RELEASE MADE BY MICHAEL B. TIERNEY ARE LEFT TOGETHER,
UNCHANGED IN ANY WAY, AND ARE TRANSFERRED AS A COMPLETE
PACKAGE.
4) REGISTERED VERSION
A user is registered when the complete registration
package, including the required information and registration
fee is received at the address listed below. The registered
copy of Windows Command will be mailed as soon as possible.
Once you mail your complete registration package, you may
continue to use the shareware version of Windows Command
until your registered version arrives. Registered users of
Windows Command are granted a license to use the program
within the rights provided in this document. The registered
user will own the magnetic media that Windows Command is
recorded on, but the entire code recorded on that medium
remains the property of Michael B. Tierney; the title to the
program itself is not transferred upon registration. This
license is not a sale of the original code or any copy. It
is a sale of the right to execute the code in a normal
fashion under Microsoft Windows.
COPYING OF THE REGISTERED VERSION IS PERMITTED ONLY BY
THE USER TO WHOM THE PARTICULAR COPY OF WINDOWS COMMAND IS
REGISTERED, AND MAY BE DONE SO FOR USE ONLY BY THE
REGISTERED USER, AND FOR NO OTHER INDIVIDUAL. A registered
user may not modify the Windows Command program, or
incorporate any portion of the program into any other work,
without first obtaining express written consent from Michael
B. Tierney. MODIFYING WINDOWS COMMAND, SELLING OR GIVING
AWAY OF A COPY OF THE REGISTERED VERSION OF WINDOWS COMMAND
TO ANY THIRD PARTY, OR USE OF A REGISTERED VERSION OF
WINDOWS COMMAND BY AN INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN THE REGISTERED
USER IS A VIOLATION OF THIS LICENSE AND THE ABOVE-MENTIONED
FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAWS. The registered user for each
registered copy of Windows Command will be displayed in the
"About" dialog box, which can be viewed by issuing the
"About" command at the Windows Command command-line, or by
selecting Help-About from the menu.
When updates of Windows Command are released,
registered users will be given the option of a free or
reduced-price upgrade. If an upgrade is purchased, the
original license will cover the upgrade as well as the
original product.
REGISTERED USERS MAY NOT SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN, OR
TRANSFER THE LICENSE FOR WINDOWS COMMAND, NOR CAN THEY SELL,
LEASE OR RENT THE PROGRAM. If a registered user fails to
comply with all provisions of their license, the license
will be considered terminated. When the license is
terminated by either user request, or by violation of the
license agreement, all copies of the software must be
deleted.
5) USE RESTRICTIONS
The shareware version of Windows Command may be used on
as many computers as is needed so long as the rules above
are strictly followed. The same is true for the registered
version, however, only one machine may be running a copy of
the program at any one time, and the program may not be
transferred electronically over a network to another
computer. After 21 days, the shareware version must be
either registered or discarded, and only the registered user
may use his/her registered copy of Windows Command.
6) NETWORK REGISTRATION
Windows Command may be registered for a network or
multi-user machine by purchasing a discounted multi-user
license. When using Windows Command on a network or multi-
user machine, the system's administrator must understand
that use of Windows Command by a non-registered user (any
user other than users of the registered network or machine)
is illegal, and the administrator will be held legally
responsible for enforcing the policies of this license
agreement on their system, and insuring that only authorized
users have access to Windows Command.
To register Windows Command for use on a network or
multi-user machine, please write to me at the address below.
Please include in your letter the number of users on your
system, how you would like to provide access to Windows
Command (whether on a server, or on individual
workstations), the number of copies of program disks you
would like to receive, and an address, telephone or FAX
number where you can be contacted. You will then receive
further instructions on pricing, and how to place your
order.
7) QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS
While I have carefully tested Windows Command and all
its features for proper function, I cannot guarantee that
there will be absolutely no bugs or other program errors (no
software designer can). If you detect a problem that can be
reproduced consistently, I ask that you please contact me as
soon as possible, and I will do my best to correct the
problem. My address is listed below.

information, please feel free to contact me at either of the
