(1) Welcome To JADE v0.9 Beta

  JADE is the product of many programming hours.  This readme.txt file is not
  the manual for JADE, but a brief (very brief) outline of JADE and basically
  gets the legal issues out of the way.  JADE is designed as an alternative
  JAVE developing environment to some of the other packages out there.  JADE
  is quick, easy and very effective.  Also, your input will make a very big
  and real impact on JADE's future - enjoy!

(2) Licensing Information

  You are hereby given the right to use JADE for personal and/or business
  use.  You accept all responsibility for damages, direct or indirect,
  resulting from, but no limited to, the use of JADE.  You may NOT resell
  JADE for profit (only to compensate for your costs) and if you do this
  MUST inform me and have my written consent.  You may NOT alter or change
  the distribution archive file (.ZIP) and add/remove contents from it.

(3) Registration

  You are not obliged to register JADE, although personal requests can be
  fulfilled on a per-request basis.  If you enjoy JADE, and would like to
  let me know this, please contact me via one of the following methods.
  Requests will be fulfilled by contract, then normal (unpaid) requests.  In
  this fashion I hope to make JADE a more enjoyable environment from which
  to do your work.

                      the filename does not display on the save changes
