Shareware/Event/Documents/!EShellDoc/TextHelp/!!ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Copyright and Author Stuff
The EvntShell library code and any demo or support programs supplied
with it are NOT Public Domain software. They are ShareWare which means
that if you use them and like them you should register with the
Author. The registration fee is �5.00 or 15Dm and this is to cover
postage and disks for sending updates.
In particular you should note that no part of the EvntShell code may
appear on !Illusions magazine disks or in the associated PD library
'Digital Illusions'. This therefore applies to any application written
using the EvntShell library.
Other PD libraries may distribute this software freely. The reason for
excluding !Illusions is that I don't like people who use (or threaten
to use) viruses as a means of copy protection.
You may distribute ShellLib, ShellLibRT or both with your own
applications. Library code may be appended to the user application if
required, and redundant routines may be removed. You may not alter the
library code, claim to have written it or make money on it. A note in
the application !Help file acknowledging the source of the library
code with details of how to obtain the full package would be
appreciated.
The heap manager routines are copyright Risc User and are used with
permission.
If you like this software (or even violently dislike it!) I would like
to know. The more people who write to me pointing out limitations and
bugs the quicker the software will be improved. If nobody tells me
about the problems they are highly unlikely to be fixed - it is also
no good telling the people running PD libraries about problems as they
will almost certainly be unable to help.
On the other hand you will get help from me, the author. If you have a
problem with using the software or suggestions for enhancement however
trivial the address is :
Paul Hobbs
Rheinpfalzstrasse 2
85049 Ingolstadt
Germany
Despite the address I am English so don't be afraid to write. If you
are German and have got this far then you must be pretty good at
English anyway, but you can write to me in German as well.
It is not necessary to register with me to get help, you only need to
send money when you are satisfied that the software is useful to you. 00000000 20 20 20 20 20 20 43 6f 70 79 72 69 67 68 74 20 | Copyright | 00000010 61 6e 64 20 41 75 74 68 6f 72 20 53 74 75 66 66 |and Author Stuff| 00000020 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 54 68 |. .
