If  you  copy  LiDIA for somebody else, you may ask  this  person

copying and shipping.  You are not allowed to ask for  more  than
this.   In any case you must give a copy of this copyright notice

If  you  obtain    LiDIA   please send us  a short notice to that 
effect,   e.g.,   an   e-mail  message   to    lidia@cs.uni-sb.de
containing your full  name and address. This allows  us  to  keep
track of the number of LiDIA users.

If  you   publish   a  mathematical  result   that   was   partly  
obtained   using   LiDIA,   please   cite   LiDIA   (LiDIA Group,
{\sf LiDIA} -- {\em A library for computational  number  theory},
Universit\"at des  Saarlandes,  1995.), just  as you  would  cite
another  paper  that  you used.  Also we  would appreciate it  if
you could inform us about  such a paper.

You  are  permitted  to  modify and  redistribute   LiDIA,    but
you are not allowed  to restrict further redistribution.  That is
to say  proprietary modifications will  not  be allowed.  We want
all  versions  of LiDIA to remain free.

If you  modify any part of   LiDIA   and  redistribute  it,   you
must   supply   a   README  file containing information about the

for your modifications.

Of course we are interested in all  of  your  modifications.   In
particular  we  would like to see bug-fixes, improvements and new
functions.  So  again  we would appreciate it if you  informed us 
about all modifications you make.

LiDIA  is  distributed  by us without any warranty, to the extent
permitted  by  applicable state law.  We  distribute   LiDIA  *as
