           INTRODUCTION
           ------------
            FIX is a simple file maintenance utility that will find
            and replace occurrences of any byte string in any size or
            type of IBM-PC file.  The program is available in 3 con-
            figurations - Shareware, Registered and Licensed.  These 3
            configurations provide, in order, progressively greater
            functional capability along with progressively greater
            License rights for users of this Copyrighted software.
            
            This document describes the 3 configurations of FIX, how
            the user may obtain each configuration, and the user
            License offered with each.  (Conditions for the copying
            and distribution of the Shareware Configuration of FIX by
            non-user institutions other than NovaLogic are specified
            in the enclosed text file VENDOR.TXT.)

           FIX 5.XXS SHAREWARE CONFIGURATION
           ---------------------------------
           
            The unregistered Shareware Configuration is the principal
            vehicle for promoting FIX to prospective Registrants and
            Licensees.  It is a completely functional configuration of
            the program which displays a promotional screen randomly
            at the conclusion of processing.  This configuration
            offers 3 optional operating modes - transform text to
            upper or lower case, and Unix newline.  Several .BAT
            utilities are included with the Shareware Configuration;
            these supplement basic function by calling FIX to perform
            certain pre-defined editing functions on ASCII text files.
            
            Unregistered SHAREWARE FIX 5.XXS may be obtained free or
            at nominal cost through normal "shareware" distribution
            channels - software libraries, bulletin board systems,
            computer information services, computer clubs, or
            shareware disk vendors.  Shareware FIX may also be ordered
            directly from NovaLogic at a price of $2 plus the diskette
            material/handling/ shipping fee specified in the most
            current version of enclosed text file FIXORDER.FRM.
            
            SHAREWARE USER LICENSE
            ----------------------
            When an individual FIX Evaluator-User obtains a copy of
            SHAREWARE FIX 5.XXS, the Evauator-User may:
            
             (1) Evaluate Shareware FIX 5.XXS for up to 3 months after
                 initial use in private non-commercial applications to
                 determine if it suits his/her needs, after which he/
                 she must REGISTER or LICENSE FIX for continued use.
                 
             (2) Make copies of the Shareware FIX 5.XXS file set and
                 the compressed (.ZIP) distribution file.
                 
             (3) Distribute Shareware FIX 5.XXS to others under these
                 conditions:
                  a) distribute only in FIX's original unaltered
                     compressed (.ZIP) distribution file;
                  b) no fee may be charged for the FIX program;
                     however, a fee may be charged for reasonable cost
                     of the distribution medium.
                  
            The Shareware Configuration of FIX, and only the Shareware
            Configuration, may be copied and distributed by non-user
            institutions other than NovaLogic under conditions
            specified in the enclosed text file VENDOR.TXT.
            
            All other rights to Shareware FIX 5.XXS are reserved by
            NovaLogic.

           FIX 5.XXR REGISTERED CONFIGURATION
           ----------------------------------
           
            The function of REGISTERED FIX 5.XXR is extended in
            several ways from that of the unregistered Shareware
            configuration: (1) it eliminates the randomly appearing
            promotional screen; (2) it provides 3 more modes of
            operation - count only, DOS filter, and query; (3) it
            supports "delimited" findstrings; and (4) it includes a
            larger set of complementary .BAT utilities.  Further, it
            is the most current version at the date of registration.
            
            Registered FIX is available to private individuals who
            must register directly with NovaLogic and pay a software
            registration fee and a diskette material/handling/shipping
            fee.  Fees are specified in the most current FIX 5.XX
            Order Form (most current version of enclosed text file
            FIXORDER.FRM).
            
            REGISTRATION LICENSE
