LICENSING FOR THE MANGLE BBS DOOR
			Effective  4/13/91

    MANGLE is not a public domain program.  Copies of MANGLE are being
distributed via "shareware" methods, which allows you to try out the
program prior to paying for it.  If you decide to keep MANGLE, you should
pay for it.  (These registration checks are the only income I receive from
Mangle, and goes to support further work on the program and on other
games.)

    When I receive your check, I'll record your name as a registered user
and send you a copy of the latest version of Mangle.  This version will
have improvements that the shareware version does not, plus a much larger
list of words -- 40 new words.	You'll also be able to receive money from
me whenever one of your users registers for extended play on your board.

    Technical support is available to registered MANGLE users through my
BBS, the Packet Press bulletin board system at (301) 294-0756, or by Email
via the Relaynet (RIME) system (->PACKET).  In emergencies, I'll also take
phone (voice) calls.

Please send your check to:
 Eric Balkan, 14704 Seneca Castle Ct, Gaithersburg MD 20878
(Please use the form in the file REGISTER.DOC)


If you have any problem with the agreement below, contact me before
proceeding further.   Note that it includes access to your board for
the purpose of checking Mangle's operation -- this allows me to keep
a bad installation from turning off users who are seeing it for the
first time.  (This access can be restricted to Mangle only; in any
case I will adhere to your board's rules.)
