    DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS:

         You are hereby granted permission to distribute MathCounts 3+4
         as long as you:

         1) Clearly explain, in an obvious manner, the shareware concept,
            the need for users to register shareware products they use,
            and that the price the user pays for your disks is a copying
            fee only.

         2) Leave all copyright notices intact and in place.        
  
         3) Have not been asked by us not to distribute it.
           
         4) Only distribute the shareware version of MathCounts 3+4.
            A message at the beginning of the shareware version clearly
            states that "This is an UNREGISTERED shareware copy." Any
            version of MathCounts 3+4 without this message must not
            be distributed. The shareware version is not "crippled" in
            any way; it merely includes shareware messages and
            information which are removed from the registered version.

         5) When listing MathCounts 3+4 in any vendor catalog,
            advertisement, or mailer, call it "MathCounts 3+4"
            and not ANY other name.  

         6) Do not "rent" or "lease" MathCounts 3+4 to others. 



         If you have not already done so, we strongly recommend that 
         you become an ASP approved vendor.  The ASP vendor program 
         provides an important service for both authors and vendors, 
         and gives customers confidence that reasonable standards are 
         met in the distribution of shareware products. Contact:

is in the same directory as MC34.EXE (you can run the program from any drive).
Enter MC34 to run.  For documentation, enter TYPE MC34.DOC |MORE

Note: This program writes to the disk file MCRECORD.DAT at program exit.  To
leave a clean records file for users after evaluating the program, just before
you exit, select ALT-F9 at the Main Menu.  Then select 3) Students & Records.

press "y".  Choose to go to the menus and exit.  Of course, you could make
