-ARC is the copyrighted property of System Enhancement
-Associates, Inc. You are granted a limited license to
-use ARC, and to copy it and distribute it, provided
-that the following conditions are met:
-
-1) No fee may be charged for such copying and
- distribution.
-
-2) ARC may ONLY be distributed in its original,
- unmodified state.
-
-3) ARC may *not* be distributed, in whole or in part, as

- System Enhancement Associates, Inc.
- 21 New Street, Wayne NJ 07470
-
-You may not use this product in a commercial
-environment or a governmental organization without
-paying a license fee of $35. Site licenses and
-commercial distribution licenses are available. A
-program disk and printed documentation are available
-for $50. See the order form enclosed with this manual
-for more details.
-ARC is user supported software. This means that you
-may copy it freely and give the copies away to anyone
-you wish, at no cost. They are in turn requested to
-send in a contribution if they decide to use it.
-
-The user supported software concept (often referred to
-as "shareware") is an attempt to provide software at low
-cost. The cost of offering a new product by
-conventional means is staggering, and hence dissuades
-many independent authors and small companies from
-developing and promoting their ideas. User supported
-software is an attempt to develop a new marketing
-channel, where products can be introduced at low cost.
-ARC Page 1
- If user supported software works, then everyone will
-benefit. The user will benefit by receiving quality
-products at low cost, and by being able to "test
-drive" software thoroughly before purchasing it. The
-author benefits by being able to enter the commercial
-software arena without first needing large sources of
-venture capital.
-
-But it can only work with your support. We're not
-just talking about ARC here, but about all user
-supported software. If you obtain a user supported
-program from a friend or colleague, and are still
-using it after a couple of weeks, then it is obviously
-worth something to you, and a contribution should be
-sent.
-And now, back to ARC:
