COPYRIGHT
        
        
        I keep all rights  on  Colonial  Conquest.  You  are
        however allowed to copy it to other people  as  long
        as  you   copy   all   textfiles   (including   this
        "Copyright"-file!) with it and don't ask more than a
        nominal fee of 4$ (5 DM) for the disk. Fred Fish, to
        whom this game was originally sent is EXCEPTED  from
        this restriction and may therefore  ask  more  money
        for the copying of this program.
        
        
        If you are managing another  Public  Domain  series,
        you are invited to take Colonial Conquest on it too,
        but I would be very grateful if you could inform  me
        and send me a copy of the disk you have put Colonial
        Conquest on. Please notice that you are bound to the
        above restrictions! If you want to be excepted  from
        them for some reason, you will have to ask a written
        permission from me!
        If you wish to translate  the  manual  into  another
        language, you should inform me first so that I could
        take it over  into  a  future  version  of  Colonial
        Conquest.  You  are  however  NOT  allowed  to  sell
        Colonial Conquest for more than  the  4$  mentionned
        above, even if you have written a 200 page manual!!!
        (I write this because some people  in  Germany  have
        started to make money with PD by writing  short  and
        cheap manual-translations and selling the  discs  at
        prices above $10!)
        
        
        Colonial Conquest is giftware. I have hesitated  for
        quite a long time to make it shareware, but as I  am
        the kind of guy who is too lazy to pay something for
        shareware most  of  the  time  (shame  on  me!)  and
        because I don't like the feeling of being  (morally)
        forced to pay for something, I  finally  decided  to
        ask for a donation (nice word for payment,  as  Dave
        Smith said before!) of 10 Sfr or 10 DM (7$, 5£  etc)
        if you like the game and play it and therefore would
        like to see it improved.
        Now, you don't  have  to  blush  in  front  of  your
        monitors - I'm seriously not believing that  I  will
        become millionaire that way. I would  even  say:  If
        you like the game but don't  feel  very  rich,  just
        write me a letter without money and I will  be  very
        happy anyway. The thing is that I'm student too  and
        therefore not the kind of guy who sends 1000$-checks
        to giftware programmers. (Though I wouldn't  prevent
        you from doing so, really!). By the way: don't  send
        checks - I mean checks with small money amounts - as
        it usually takes more money to  cash  them  in  than
        they are amounted to!
        Of course, you will get a nice letter in  return  of
        your money, saying thank you in 23 languages (and  a
        little bit more, of course!).
        I even would like  to  say  a  big  THANK  YOU  here
        already to the incredible two or three persons  (out
        of the 12'567 who will play my game) who  will  make
        the effort to send me the money!  Thank  you,  thank
        you, thank you...
        
        
        
        If you are writer of any magazine  or  fanclub-paper
        and want to write about  Colonial  Conquest,  please
        feel free to contact me for questions. I would  also
        be interested in all forms of cooperation.  (Release
        of the  2nd  version  on  a  disk  magazine,  German
        version of Colonial Conquest and so on...)
        
        
        If you have programed a game too, I  would  also  be
        interested in your work and experience  with  Public
        Domain!
        
        
        Send your comments, your wishes for a  2nd  release,
        your bombs (if the program has crashed  for  cryptic
        reasons!) and of course your (unneeded, unnecessary,
        nonessential, superfluous) money to:
