 7.0 LEGAL INFORMATION
 ---------------------

 Authorized Use of Machine-Readable Documents

 ANY USE OF THE IBM MACHINE-READABLE DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING READING FROM
 THE ORIGINAL MEDIA, INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS.	IF YOU
 DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS, PROMPTLY RETURN THE ORIGINAL MEDIA AND
 THE AMOUNT YOU PAID WILL BE REFUNDED.	YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH
 THESE TERMS TERMINATES THIS AUTHORIZATION.  UPON TERMINATION, YOU MUST
 DESTROY THE DOCUMENTS AND ALL COPIES.

 "Document" means the original copy of a document and any copy or
 partial copy you make.	 The Document is copyrighted.  IBM does not
 transfer title to the Document.  A Document may be either general or
 licensed.  The media may contain general and licensed Documents.
 Different terms apply to general and licensed Documents.

 General Document
 A general Document has an order number usually beginning with a "G" or
 an "S." You may make copies, modify, and print the general Document for use
 within your enterprise.  You may transfer possession of the general
 Document to another party only when you transfer the related IBM
 product (which may be either machines you own, or programs, if the
 program's license terms permit a transfer).  If you do so, you must
 give the other party an original unaltered copy of the general Document.

 Licensed Document
 A licensed Document has an order number beginning with an "L." A
 licensed Document is part of a specific program that IBM licenses to
 you.  You MUST have a license agreement with IBM for the program, or
 the Document, in order to use, copy, or print the licensed Documents.
 The terms of your license agreement apply to the licensed Documents
 and to any copies you make from them.

 Under each license, IBM authorizes you to:

 1. Use the licensed Document on all machines designated for the
    program or on other machines within your enterprise in support
    of authorized use of the program; and

 2. Make copies, modify, and print the licensed Document.

 You agree to use the licensed Document only as authorized above.  You
 may NOT do, for example, any of the following:

 1. Sublicense, assign, or transfer the license for any Document; or
 2. Distribute the licensed Document to any third party.

 Warranty
 The warranty for IBM programs, contained in your license agreement,
 applies to the licensed Documents.  All other Documents are provided
 "AS IS." THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE
 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties,
 so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

 General

 You may transfer possession of the original media (such as CD-ROM
 discs) containing the Documents if the media has an order number
 beginning with a "G" or an "S." Such media may contain licensed
 Documents, but they are not readable without the appropriate "keys" to
 unlock them.  You may NOT transfer such keys.	You may NOT transfer
 the original media that has an order number beginning with an "L."

 For each Document you must reproduce the copyright notice, any other
 legend of ownership, and all warning statements, on each copy or
 partial copy of the Document.

 If you acquired the media in the United States, this authorization is
 governed by the laws of the State of New York.	 If you acquired the
 media in Canada, this authorization is governed by the laws of the
 Province of Ontario.  Otherwise, this authorization is governed by the
 laws of the country in which you acquired the media.
