   { $DEFINE NO_SPAN}  // uncomment to remove support for multi-part zip files
   { $DEFINE NO_SFX}   // define to remove support for self expanding zip files

                           Distribution Policy
                   Guidelines for Legal Re-distribution
     
       1) This applies to both end-users and developers.  The meat of
          this package is the .DLL files, and they are needed by all
          of your end-users if you use this ZIP package in your 
          program.
         
       2) You must not charge money for any part of the ZIP package.
          Warning:  The primary concern here is if you will market a
          new package that is only slightly more than a verbatim copy 
          of this package, or one of it's demos.  ANY release you sell
          is OK as long as you charge ONLY for the changes you make.
     
       3) You MUST either distribute the source code for this ZIP
          package, or give a WWW site where it can be obtained
          freely. This can be on a Help...About screen, in printed
          documentation, or in text files distributed with your 
          package.  Yes, it does seem odd to have this requirement
          for end-users who aren't programmers, but there is no
          mistake.  After all, it isn't hard to give them a URL
          and a few words explaining what it is for.
     
       4) You must document the Info-Zip's WWW home page URL, but 
          don't expect any help from the Info-Zip group, since my 
          release is only a derrivitive of their work.  They are 
          very busy doing support for their "official" releases.
          Since much of the DLL source code comes from them, they
          deserve to be mentioned.
             Info-Zip:   http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/
     
       5) You must handle product support with your own end-users.
          This is needed because I don't have enough time to do
          support for end-users.
     
       6) I will handle support issues with programmers using this 
          package on a time-available basis. Since this is being
          distributed as freeware, you can't expect the kind of 
          support you'd get from a commercial vendor.  Please limit
          your questions to those that directly pertain to this
          ZIP package.
     
       7) You may NOT distribute executable versions of my demo
          programs to end-users without my approval.  These are 
          only example applications to teach you how to use
          this package. 
     
     
                         DLL Source Code in C
            
        The DLL source code is distributed separately due to it's
     size, and the fact that most Delphi users of this package
     probably don't want the C source for the DLL's.  The DLL 
     source is also freeware, and will remain that way. 
     The DLL source code needs Borland C++ Builder v3 - v6.
