1.	GRANT OF LICENSE - Dianthus grants to Company the right to use
one copy of the Dianthus software program(s) provided by Dianthus to 
Company under this Agreement (the "Software") for evaluation purposes

evaluation, this Evaluation Agreement shall override the End User 
License Agreement included with the Software package during this 
Agreement.

2.	TERM AND TERMINATION - This Agreement shall be effective for a
period of ninety (90) days from the date Company receives the 
Software.  If Company does not purchase the Software prior to the 
expiration of the term of this Agreement, this Evaluation Agreement 
expires and the Company shall destroy all copied portions of the 
Software including all diskettes and manuals received with the 
evaluation copy.  If the Company does purchase the Software, all terms
and conditions of the End User License Agreement included with the 
Software will be in full force and effect, and the terms and 
conditions of the Evaluation Agreement become null and void.  By
purchasing the Software, the Company accepts the terms and conditions
of the End User License Agreement provided with the Software.

3.	COPYRIGHT - The Software is owned by Dianthus or its suppliers
and is protected by the United States copyright laws and international

except that the Company may either (a) make one copy of the Software

transfer the Software and written materials to a single hard disk 
provided that Company keeps the original solely for backup or archival
purposes.

4.	OTHER RESTRICTIONS - Company may not sell, lease, or otherwise
transfer the Software.  Company may not reverse engineer, decompile, 
or disassemble the Software.  The source code of the Software is

it to any third party, make derivative works based upon it, or use it

evaluation purposes, it is provided "as is" without warranty of any 
kind.  Dianthus and its suppliers specifically disclaim all 
warranties, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular

business interruption, loss of business information, or other 
pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use the 
Software, even if Dianthus has been advised of the possibility of 
such damages.  Because some states do not allow the exclusion or 
limitation for consequential or incidental damages, the above 
limitation may not apply to you.

This is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or an 
entity), the end user, and Dianthus.  If you do not agree to the terms
of the this Agreement, promptly return the disk package and

DIANTHUS SOFTWARE LICENSE

1.	GRANT OF LICENSES.  This Dianthus License Agreement 
("License") permits you to use one copy of the specified version of 
the Dianthus software product identified above ("SOFTWARE") on any 
single computer, provided the SOFTWARE is in use on only one computer 
at any time.  If you have multiple Licenses for the SOFTWARE, then at 
any time you may have as many copies of the SOFTWARE in use as you 
have Licenses.  The SOFTWARE is "in use" on a computer when it is 
loaded into the temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into the 
permanent memory (e.g. hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of
the computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for 
the sole purpose of distribution to other computers is not "in use".
If the anticipated number of users of the SOFTWARE will exceed the 
number of applicable licenses, then you must have a reasonable 
mechanism or process in place to assure that the number of persons
using the SOFTWARE concurrently does not exceed the number of 
Licenses.  If the SOFTWARE is permanently installed on the hard disk
or other storage device of a computer (other than the network server)
and one person uses that computer more than 80% of the time it is in
use, then that person may also use the SOFTWARE on a portable home
computer.

2.	COPYRIGHT.  The SOFTWARE is owned by Dianthus and is protected
by United States Copyright laws and international treaty provisions.  
Therefore, you must treat the SOFTWARE like any other copyrighted 
material (e.g. a book or musical recording)  except that you may 
either (a) make one copy of the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archival
purposes, or (b) transfer the SOFTWARE to a single hard disk provided 
you keep the original solely for backup or archival purposes.  You may
copy the written materials accompanying the SOFTWARE.

3.	OTHER RESTRICTIONS.  This Dianthus Licenses Agreement is your 
proof of license to exercise the rights granted herein, and must be 
retained by you.  You may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE, but you may

permanent basis provided you transfer this License Agreement, the 
SOFTWARE, and all accompanying written material and retain no copies, 
and the recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement.  You may not 
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE.  Any 
transfer of the SOFTWARE must include the most recent update and all
prior versions.

LIMITED WARRANTY

LIMITED WARRANTY.  Dianthus warrants that (a) the SOFTWARE will 
perform substantially in accordance with the accompanying written 
materials for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt; 
and (b) any hardware accompanying the SOFTWARE will be free from 
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service for
a period of one (1) year from the date of receipt.  Any implied 
warranties on the SOFTWARE and hardware are limited to 

								5.01

ninety (90) days and one year respectively.  Some states do not allow 
limitations on duration of an implied warranty, so the above 
limitation may not apply to you.

CUSTOMER REMEDIES.	Dianthus' entire liability and your exclusive 
remedy shall be, at Dianthus' option, either (a) return of the price 
paid or (b) repair or replacement of the SOFTWARE or hardware that 
does not meet Dianthus' Limited Warranty and that is returned to
Dianthus with a copy of you receipt.  This Limited Warranty is void
if failure of the SOFTWARE or hardware resulted from accident, abuse,
or misapplication.  Any replacement SOFTWARE will be warranted for
the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, 
whichever is longer.  Neither these remedies nor any product support 
services offered by Dianthus are available for this U.S.A. version 
product outside of the United States of America.

NO OTHER WARRANTIES.	Dianthus disclaims all other warranties,
either expressed or implied, including but not limited to implied 
warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
with respect to the SOFTWARE, the accompanying written materials, and
any accompanying hardware. This limited warranty gives you specific
legal rights.  You may have others, which vary from state to state.

NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.	In no event shall Dianthus or 
its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without
limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business 
interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) 
arising out of the use or inability to use this Dianthus product, even
if Dianthus has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation for 
consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not 
apply to you.
