COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION LICENSE AGREEMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Information concerning non-commercial distribution (distribution is non-
commercial if it is for free, or by a hobby, user or computer interest
group to its members, or by any BBS) can be found in the help file and
the "SWAPPER.TXT" file. The terms below outline requirements for
commercial distribution. By "commercial distribution" or "commerically
distribute" we mean to distribute for gain (such as, but not limited to,
via traditional shareware catalogs, trade shows, or rack vending). This
file will inform the potential commercial distributor as to whether or
not they have been automatically granted such a license for their type of
distribution (if not, special written authorization is required). Other
important information is also presented.

This is an agreement between you (either an individual or an entity) and
CHECKBOX SOFTWARE. By commercially distributing copies of the shareware
evaluation version of STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE, you are agreeing to be
bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to the terms
of this agreement, you may not distribute the shareware evaluation
version of STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE.

1) COPYRIGHT: The sharewave evaluation version of STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE
(hereafter, "the SOFTWARE") is Copyright (c) 1992 by CHECKBOX SOFTWARE
and is protected by United States copyright laws and international
treaty provisions. Except to the extent expressly licensed by CHECKBOX
SOFTWARE, CHECKBOX SOFTWARE has and reserves the exclusive copyright and
other right, title, and interest to copy and distribute this software,
and the right to use the Trademark "STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE" in connection
with it.

3) DISTRIBUTION VIA CATALOGS: Catalog vendors are automatically granted
a license to distribute the SOFTWARE via their catalog for a fee
provided they agree to abide by the following terms:

a) A copy of the first catalog or listing advertising the
distribution of the SOFTWARE will be sent to CheckBox Software.

b) The catalog or listing must contain a statement to the effect
that the SOFTWARE is not free, and that additional payment to the
author/publisher is required after a stated evaluation period.
(The standard statement required by the Association of Shareware
Professionals is sufficient.)

c) Updated versions of the SOFTWARE sent to the distributor will be
reflected in what is distributed and advertised in the catalog or
listing as soon as possible.

d) Problems or complaints about the SOFTWARE will be reported to
CheckBox Software.

4) ALL OTHER TYPES OF DISTRIBUTION (RACKS, CD-ROM, etc.): Distribution
of the SOFTWARE using any other method (for example: via rack vending
methods, sale in a retail store, sale at a trade show, CD-ROM
compilation, as part of some more inclusive product or service, rental
or lease) requires special written authorization from CheckBox Software,
which may be subject to special licensing terms. No vendor, individual,
group, or entity has a license to distribute the SOFTWARE using any
other method without special written authorization from CheckBox
Software. (NOTE: "as part of some more inclusive product or service"
does not refer to distribution via any type of BBS or the practice by
certain catalog vendors of offering several programs on a single
diskette or in a set of multiple diskettes.)

5) MODIFICATIONS: The SOFTWARE package may not be abridged or otherwise
modified in any way. (NOTE: This does not refer to the addition of
installation, informational, or advertising files by catalog vendors.)

6) REVOCATION OF LICENSE: The license to distribute the SOFTWARE can be
revoked from any vendor, individual, group, or entity at any time for
any reason on 90 days advance written notice.

7) DAMAGES: Distribution of the SOFTWARE without a license to do so is
explicitly prohibited. Liquidated damages for unauthorized
distribution shall not be less than $2.00 (in U.S. funds) for each
individual copy of the SOFTWARE that is sold or transferred by the
vendor, individual, group, or entity without a license to do so.

8) THIS PACKAGE (CONSISTING OF THE STARTUPSWAPPER DELUXE SOFTWARE AND
ASSOCIATED FILES AND DOCUMENTATION) IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR ENDORSEMENTS
REGARDING THE USE OF, THE RESULTS OF, OR PERFORMANCE OF; ITS
APPROPRIATENESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR CURRENTNESS. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE USE OF THIS PACKAGE IS ASSUMED BY THE USER. IN NO EVENT WILL
CHECKBOX SOFTWARE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, DIRECT, INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECT IN THE PACKAGE,
EVEN IF CHECKBOX SOFTWARE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. ANY AND ALL USE OF THIS PACKAGE, FOR ANY PURPOSE, WITH NO
REGARD TO THE LEGALITY OF SUCH USE OR PURPOSE, IS THE COMPLETE AND SOLE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER. Some states do not allow disclaimers of
implied warranties or the exclusion of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

9) GOVERNING LAW: This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of
New Jersey. Should any parts or parts of this agreement be deemed
unlawful, the remainder shall to continue to apply.
