             If this program breaks your system, please accept my
        regrets, and apology.  However, I assume no responsiblity for
        damage to your system, or data.  Further, I assume no
        responsibility for any monies lost due such damage.  This
        includes any psychological damage you may suffer because of
        your loss.  I may try to help you sort it out, but I assume no
        liability for it. 
        
             This program tested successfully on AT 286-12 mhz, 386-33
        mhz, 486-33 mhz systems.  System configurations included, RLL,
        IDE, SCSI and ESDI hard disks, video modes CGA to 33,000 colour
        SVGA, and operating systems MS-DOS 5 and 6.

             You may not perform reverse engineering on this program. 
        You may not conceal the display of information, or copyright
        notice I have written into this program.  
        
             I consider piracy the public distribution of a modified
        program  without the consent of the author.  Piracy denies the
        authors right to see their registration requirements met.   
        
             As the author, this is my program!  If you wish to use it,
        please do.  If you wish to deface or maim it, remember that I
        reserve the right to, and will protect my program from piracy by
        whatever means I judge necessary.
        
             To combat the pirating of my software, I have built in
        several routines to prevent reverse engineering.  Anyone trying
        to modify my program will encounter these routines.

             BBS systems that charge membership, or online fees must make
        a $10 contribution.  The evaluation period for this type of BBS
        is 15 days.  There will be no exceptions to this requirement.
        
             To all who have made a $10 contribution:
        
             I will make a SITE registration file available to you.  This
             SITE file will personalize your copy of TAG_SHUT, show your
             name and show that you are a supporter of TAG_SHUT.  
        
             Your SITE file will also produce the following advantages:
        
             Pause times in certain places are cut (or eliminated).
        
             Ability to bypass now MANDATORY local logon. 
        
             Your name appearing just under the ANSI DETECTED display on  
             any remote logons, rather than [ Evaluation Copy ].
        
             Ability to change password to your system, manually. (Bonus, 
             eh?)
        
             Ability to define length of Auto-Generated passwords (4-8    
             characters).
        
             Ability to turn off auto-password generation completely if
             you wish.
        
             Ability to turn off ANSI DETECTED display.
        
             Certain little goodies that I, 'may' provide if requested.
        
             Support. (Now there's a dandy concept!)
        
             Your $10 donation entitles you to free upgrades of TAG_SHUT
