agreement and disclaimer.
If you do not agree with any term of this agreement, stop using this
software immediately. You'll find information about the author at
the end of this text.

Disclaimer:
===========
The software is provided "as-is" and without any kind of warranty,
expressed or implied, including but not limited to, any warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Especially the
author does not give any guarantee of the exactness of the counting
and calculating algorithm.
In no event shall the author be liable for any direct, indirect,
consequential or incidental damages (including but not limited to
damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of
business information, and the like) arising out of the use or
inability to use this software even if the author has been advised
of the possibility of such damages.

Additionally, the following applies to the present shareware

============================================================
The version of Online Meter you are presently using is shareware.
You may use the program for free during a 35 day trial period
beginning with the day of the installation to check if it matches
your needs.
If you want to continue use of this program after the expiration of
that period, you have to purchase a license.
Otherwise you have to remove the program from your computer in order
not to offend against copyright laws.
You will find more information about purchasing a license in the
program. Remember: By purchasing a license you also support the future
development of the program. 
You may distribute the shareware version. But you have to pay attention
only to distribute the installation file, not single files of the
installed software. The program may not be changed. You are allowed to
charge only a little nominal fee for the copying process. The
distribution of the shareware version on CD-ROM is allowed explicitly,
as long as you can recognize without doubt that this is shareware. We

thereof is not allowed. This includes distribution of single files out of
the installed software. This also applies to the license data. Only the
