ARP is a freely redistributable program, though the ARP Authors
have retained Copyright on the software.  We encourage you to give it
to friends and make its use as widespread as possible.  We request
that you distribute this diskette unmodified, to help us insure that
anyone getting an "ARP" diskette has the real thing.

For BBS distribution, we will release ARC files with most of the
contents of this diskette shortly; please re-distribute these
ARC files rather than creating your own ARC.

For users groups and other vendors of PD diskettes, we request that
you purchase one original ARP diskette from the address below, for
$5 check or money order (after Dec 31 '87 please send an SASE to
verify we are still supporting ARP before sending any $$$).  This
is to insure that you will have a clean copy of the most recent
release of ARP.  Any individual wanting to get a copy of the most
recent ARP diskette may also do so directly from ARP Support for
$5, which will also get you on the ARP mailing list for update
notification; remember to send an SASE for verification
after 12/31/87.

Also for PD diskette distributors, if you want to use the ARP logo for
diskette labels, these are NOT freely redistributable; you must purchase
them directly from ARP Support.  We have not determined the price
for this yet; likely it will be $0.50 apiece for a serialized label
with mail-in registration card.

For commercial developers, we encourage you to use arp.library in
your programs, and to include the ARP CLI commands as well.  Also,
we encourage you to use the ARP logo in your packaging; you can
get stats from the artist at cost.  We will have a programmers
diskette available RSN, which you can get from ARP support for $5;
most of the same information will be available as ARC files on BBS's
as well.
