                                 BD/PATCH

This  file  accompanies  the BD/Patch Utility.  An  additional  text  file, 
QUICKREF.TXT,  describes the commands and general concepts of the  program.  
You may wish to print out the QUICKREF.TXT file before using Patch.

BD/Patch  is  a  product of Breakthrough Designs,  and  is  distributed  as 
"shareware."   What this means is that you may freely copy, distribute  and 
examine  this  software.   However, if you find it  useful  and  intend  to 
continue  using  it,  you are required to pay Breakthrough  Designs  for  a 
license  to  continue  using the software.  This one-time  license  fee  is 
only  $25.00,  and entitles you to both the latest  shareware  version  and 
product  announcements  as we release new versions and/or titles,  both  in 
shareware and commercial form.

There  is  no  way that we can enforce your  obligation  to  register  this 
product.   However,  we hope that you will do so in order  to  support  our 
development  of future products.  The shareware concept depends  upon  this 
sort  of support, and represents an excellent value compared to prices  for 
commercial software.

When you register BD/Patch, please send $25.00, along with the version  and 
serial numbers of the copy you have (from within Patch, press ^O? for  this 
information), to:

               Breakthrough Designs
               525 Alexander Street
               Greensburg, PA 15601

For  comments  or  suggestions  (not orders),  you  can  also  contact  the 
program's primary author, Mark Bereit, directly by electronic mail at:

               marky@draco.ece.cmu.edu  (Internet)

If  you  distribute copies of BD/Patch, all the original files  (listed  in 
QUICKREF.TXT) must accompany the PATCH.EXE program in unmodified form.   If 
you  are a commercial distributor, please let us know so that we  can  keep 
you informed as we develop new shareware programs or updates.
