zMUD - Zugg's MUD Client
Copyright (C) 1995-1998 Zugg Software
All Rights Reserved

THIS FILE CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
ZMUD COPY PROTECTION METHODS.  PLEASE READ IT!

LICENSE AGREEMENT

This dialog will only be displayed the first time
you use zMUD.  You should carefully read the
following terms and conditions before using this
software.  By clicking the Accept button below you
indicate your acceptance of this license agreement
and warranty.  This agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New Mexico and the United
States of America.

REGISTERED VERSION

One registered copy of zMUD may either be used by
a single person who uses the software personally
on one or more computers.  zMUD is registered to
you as a person, and not to your computer.  If
zMUD is installed on a network, all users of zMUD
must obtain an individual personal license for
the software.

You are prohibited from giving copies of your
registration ID to others.  Your registration ID
is assigned to you as a person and can be tracked
back to you.  Protect your ID as you would protect
a password.

COPY PROTECTION

zMUD contains advanced copyright protection.
Attempts to modify the zMUD software, use an invalid
registration code, or attempts to circumvent the
copy protection can cause zMUD to stop functioning.
In addition, such illegal activities may prevent the
user from using zMUD or any future Zugg Software
products in the future.

To protect its copyright, zMUD sends your Registration
ID and your Hard disk serial number in encrypted form
to a registration server on the Internet which verifies
that the registration information is correct.  For
unregistered users of zMUD, the number of execution
trials remaining is sent and verified by the server.
The Hard disk serial number, along with your IP address
is used to uniquely identify your computer.
No other information from your system is sent.
This method of verifying registration and protecting
copyright has been deemed reasonable and legal.  If you
do not wish this information sent to the Zugg Software
server, do not accept this license agreement, and
delete the zMUD software from your computer.

SHAREWARE VERSION

EVALUATION AND REGISTRATION

This is not free software.  You are hereby licensed
to use this software for evaluation purposes for
30 executions.  After running this program 30 times
it will expire and stop functioning.  In order to
reactivate the software a registration fee is required.
This software may be registered using the supplied
REGISTER program, or via an SSL-enabled broswer from
the zMUD web page at http://www.zuggsoft.com/.
When payment is received, you will receive a user ID
code that can be entered into the Register option
in the Help menu of zMUD to register your copy.
Alteration or patching of zMUD in order to bypass the
30-execution limit is a violation of U.S. and
international copyright laws. Attempts to circumvent
zMUD copy protection methods may cause you to lose
your full 30 evaluations. There is no way to restore
evaluations that are lost. Registration payments
are handled by the Kagi registration service.  See
the file kagi.txt for more information on their
service.  Zugg Software does not receive any private
payment information such as credit card numbers
when you register.  All such private data is retained
by Kagi.

DISTRIBUTION

The Shareware version of zMUD may be freely
distributed.  You must include all files included
in the distribution package.  You are specifically
prohibited from charging, or requesting donations,
for any such copies, however made, and from
distributing the software and/or documentation
with other products without prior written permission
of the zMUD author.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

THIS SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING FILES ARE SOLD
"AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES AS TO PERFORMANCE
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.  Zugg software will not be
held liable for any damage to your computer system
or data files, or for any actions brought against
you for using this software.  The user must
assume the entire risk of using this software.
Users should be aware of any restrictions imposed
by their network provider relating to MUD playing.
Users must also take responsibility for restrictions
imposed by any MUD they play relating to the use of
client software such as zMUD.
