This command will produce a memory status report, which includes
the total normal memory installed in the system, as well as the
portion of that memory that is available for use by applications
programs. On systems that have an expanded memory board
installed that conforms to the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft EMS spec,
that memory will also be reported. In addition, if you are
running on an AT or compatible and have extended memory installed
(above the 1 Mbyte boundary), that will also be reported.

This software is distributed as ShareWare. "ShareWare" means
that you are granted free license to use and copy this software
as much as you like, within the following restrictions:

1. It is distributed in its original, unmodified form,
including program and documentation.

2. No fee is charged for use, copying or distribution (with the
exception of nominal "per disk" copying charges, not to
exceed $6.00 per disk).

3. The program may not be included with other goods or services
supplied for a fee, unless written permission to do so is
obtained in advance from the author.

You are not required to register your shareware, but if you are
using the program, and find it helpful, you are expected to
register. Registration fees are as follows:

Full Registration (w/full support) ........ $15.00
Basic Registration (w/basic support) ...... $10.00

Please make checks payable to Steven M. Georgiades. Note that
you are not LEGALLY obligated to register, but if you use the
software regularly, you are MORALLY obligated to do so. Aside
from easing your conscience, basic registration will also get you
a diskette containing the latest version of the software (unless
you currently have the latest version, in which case I will send
you the next major revision), a printed version of the
documentation (8-1/2 x 11, unless you specify 6-1/4 x 8-1/2), and
basic user support, which means that I will work with you to
resolve problems, and will do minor customization. Full
registration will get you everything that basic registration
does, plus full user support, which includes telephone support
and all major revisions of the software for two (2) years from
the date of registration. Fully registered users will also
receive new SMG releases from time to time for evaluation. In
return for these evaluations, the user will receive full
registration for the new software at no charge. When you
register, please specify the name of the program, and the version
number.

Note that no support will be given to unregistered users EXCEPT
in the case of MAJOR bugs which preclude the unregistered user
from using the program. I will then do my best to resolve these
problems so that the user may evaluate the software fully.

This program is provided AS IS without any warranty, expressed or
implied, including but not limited to fitfulness for a particular
purpose.
