This directory contains the stripped down extract-only version of LhA.

     No specific doc's available. Consult the LhA user's guide for
           explanations of the available commands and options.

      LhA is available from all good BBS'es and on the Fish disks.

LICENSE
-------

  You may distribute this program as you wish, but only in it's
original unmodified form. You are allowed to use this program in a
commercial product -only- to simplify distribution. The program in
question must -not- rely on LhX or any other program in the LhA
package to perform its task.

  The program binary must -NOT- have been compressed with any program
such as PowerPacker or Imploder.

  If you use LhX to distribute a commercial product, the author would
appreciate a copy of the product in question. Special versions of LhX
can be made upon request. You will also want to make sure you have the
latest and greatest version of LhX (contact the author). A registration
of LhA would also be in order.

  This ReadMe file must lie in a separate directory together with the
`LhX' program on one of the distribution disks. The directory's name
should be `LhX'. Alternatively, the file can be renamed to `LhX.readme'
and placed in the same directory as the executable.

  PD collectors such as Fred Fish may freely use LhX on their disks,
although a registration would be appreciated.

  Apart from these special conditions, the following rules apply to LhX
as well as LhA:

       LhA License

       1.  This  license  applies to the product called "LhA", a set of
          programs  for  the  Commodore-Amiga  computer,  published  by
          Stefan  Boberg  under  the  concepts  of  ShareWare,  and the
          accompanying  documentation,  example files and anything else
          that   comes   with  the  original  distribution.  The  terms
          "Programs"  and  "LhA"  below,  refer  to  this product.  The
          licensee is addressed as "you".

       2.  You   may   copy  and  distribute  verbatim  copies  of  the
          programs'  executable  code  and documentation as you receive
          it,  in  any  medium,  provided  that  you  conspicuosly  and
          appropriately   publish   only   the   original,   unmodified
          programs,  with  all  copyright  notices  and  disclaimers of
          warranty   intact   and   including   all   the  accompanying
          documentation,  example  files  and  anything  else that came
          with the original.

       3.  You  may  not  copy and/or distribute these programs without
          the  accompanying  documentation  and  other additional files
          that  came  with  the  original.   You  may  not  copy and/or
          distribute modified versions of these programs.

       4.  You   may   not  copy,  modify,  sublicense,  distribute  or
          transfer  the  programs  except  as  expressly provided under
          this   license.   Any  attempt  otherwise  to  copy,  modify,
          sublicense,  distribute or transfer the programs is void, and
          will  automatically terminate your rights to use the programs
          under  this  license.   However,  parties  who  have received
          copies,  or rights to use copies, from you under this license
          will  not  have  their  licenses  terminated  so long as such
          parties remain in full compliance.

       5.  By  copying,  distributing  and/or  using  the  programs you
          indicate  your  acceptance  of this license to do so, and all
          its terms and conditions.

       6.  Each  time  you  redistribute  the  programs,  the recipient
          automatically  receives  a license from the original licensor
          to  copy, distribute and/or use the programs subject to these
          terms  and  conditions.   You  may  not  impose  any  further
          restrictions  on  the  recipients'  exercise  of  the  rights
          granted herein.

       7.  You  may  not disassemble, decompile, re-source or otherwise
          reverse engineer the programs.

       8.  If  you wish to incorporate parts of the programs into other
          programs, write to the author to ask for permission.

       9.  You  agree  to  cease  distributing  the  programs and data
          involved if requested to do so by author.

       10. You  may  charge  a fee to recover distribution costs.  The
          fee  for  diskette distribution may not be more than the cost
          to obtain a public domain diskette from Fred Fish.
