    terms of either:

            a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free

                        GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                         Version 1, February 1989
 
      Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
                         51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
 
      Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
      of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
 
                                Preamble
 
       The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
     at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
     License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
     software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
     General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
     software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
     You can use it for your programs, too.
 
       When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
     price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
     sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
     software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
     that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
     programs; and that you know you can do these things.
 
       To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
     anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
     These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
     distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
 
       For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
     gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
     you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
     source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
 
       We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
     (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
     distribute and/or modify the software.
 
       Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
     that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
     software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
     want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
     that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
     authors' reputations.
 
       The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
     modification follow.
  
                        GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
        TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
 
       0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
     contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
     distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
     "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
     on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
     Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
     licensee is addressed as "you".
 
       1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
     code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
     disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
     General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
     other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
     along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
     transferring a copy.
 
       2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
     it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
     1 above, provided that you also do the following:
 
         a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
         you changed the files and the date of any change; and
 
         b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
         in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
         with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
         third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
         that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
         third parties, at your option).
 
         c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
         run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
         in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
         announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
         that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
         warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
         conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
         Public License.
 
         d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
         copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
         exchange for a fee.
 
     Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
     derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
     the other work under the scope of these terms.
  
       3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
     it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
     Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
 
         a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
         source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
         Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
 
         b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
         years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
         for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
         corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
         Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
 
         c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
         corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
         allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
         received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
 
     Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
     modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
     all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
     exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
     libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
     file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
     accompany that operating system.
 
       4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
     Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
     Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
     the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
     the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
     copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
     License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
     remain in full compliance.
 
       5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
     on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
     and all its terms and conditions.
 
       6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
     licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
     terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
     recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  
       7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
     of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
     address new problems or concerns.
 
     Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
     specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
     later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
     either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
     Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
     the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
     Foundation.
 
       8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
     to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
     Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
     make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
     of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
     of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
 
                                NO WARRANTY
 
       9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 
       10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 
                         END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
            Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
 
       If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
     possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
     terms.
 
       To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
     attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
     the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
     "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
 
         <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
         Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
 
         This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
         it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
         the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
         any later version.
 
         This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
         but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
         MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
         GNU General Public License for more details.
 
         You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
         along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
         Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA
         02110-1301 USA
 
 
     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
 
     If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
     when it starts in an interactive mode:
 
         Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
         Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
         This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
         under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
 
     The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the
     appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
     commands you use may be called something other than 'show w' and 'show
     c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
     program.
 
     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
     school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
     necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
 
       Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
       program 'Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
       at assemblers) written by James Hacker.

     That's all there is to it!
