 BIEW LICENCE 
**********************************************************************
Printed  below  is  the  GNU  General  Public  License  (the  GPL   or
copyleft), under which BIEW is licensed. BIEW is  not  shareware,  and
it is not in the public domain. The bulk of the BIEW is Copyright  (c)
1995 by Nick Kurshev, and other parts of software are  copyrighted  by
their  authors.  Thus,  BIEW  is   copyrighted,   however,   you   may
redistribute  it  under  the  terms  of   the   GPL   printed   below.
**********************************************************************

                       GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                         Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (c) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass  Ave,
Cambridge, MA 02139, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and  distribute
verbatim copies of this license  document,  but  changing  it  is  not
allowed.

                               Preamble
                               ========

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  freedom
to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU  General  Public  License
is intended to  guarantee  your  freedom  to  share  and  change  free
software--to make sure the software is free for all  its  users.  This
General  Public  License  applies  to  most  of  the   Free   Software
Foundation's software and to any other program  whose  authors  commit
to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is  covered
by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can  apply  it
to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software,  we  are  referring  to  freedom,  not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that  you
have the freedom to distribute copies of  free  software  (and  charge
for this service if you wish), that you receive  source  code  or  can
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use  pieces
of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we  need  to  make  restrictions  that  forbid
anyone to deny you these  rights  or  to  ask  you  to  surrender  the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain  responsibilities  for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute  copies  of  such  a  program,  whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights  that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or  can  get  the
source code. And you must show them these terms  so  they  know  their
rights.

We protect your rights with two steps:  (1)  copyright  the  software,
and (2) offer you this license which gives  you  legal  permission  to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to  make  certain
that everyone understands that there is  no  warranty  for  this  free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and  passed  on,
we want its recipients  to  know  that  what  they  have  is  not  the
original, so that any problems introduced by others will  not  reflect
on the original authors' reputations.

Finally,  any  free  program  is  threatened  constantly  by  software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that  redistributors  of  a  free
program will individually obtain patent  licenses,  in  effect  making
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it  clear  that
any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use  or  not  licensed
at all.

The  precise  terms  and  conditions  for  copying,  distribution  and
modification follow.


    Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution, and Modification
    ================================================================


0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains  a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying  it  may  be  distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program",  below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the  Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under  copyright  law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program  or  a  portion  of  it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated  into  another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation  in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification  are  not
covered by this License; they  are  outside  its  scope.  The  act  of
running the Program  is  not  restricted,  and  the  output  from  the
Program is covered only if its contents constitute  a  work  based  on
the Program (independent of having been made by running the  Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy  and  distribute  verbatim  copies  of  the  Program's
source code as you receive  it,  in  any  medium,  provided  that  you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each  copy  an  appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer  of  warranty;  keep  intact  all  the
notices that  refer  to  this  License  and  to  the  absence  of  any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of  this
License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,  and
you may at your option offer warranty protection  in  exchange  for  a
fee.

2.You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion  of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and  distribute
such modifications or  work  under  the  terms  of  Section  1  above,
provided that you also meet all of these conditions:


a. You must cause  the  modified  files  to  carry  prominent  notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b. You must cause any work that you distribute  or  publish,  that  in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or  any  part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all  third  parties
under the terms of this License.

c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively  when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive  use
in the  most  ordinary  way,  to  print  or  display  an  announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that  there  is
no warranty (or else, saying that you provide  a  warranty)  and  that
users  may  redistribute  the  program  under  these  conditions,  and
telling the user how to view a copy of this  License.  (Exception:  if
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such  an
announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to  print
an announcement.)


These  requirements  apply  to  the  modified  work  as  a  whole.  If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from  the  Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent  and  separate  works  in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not  apply  to  those
sections when you distribute them as  separate  works.  But  when  you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work  based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms  of
this License, whose permissions for  other  licensees  extend  to  the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who  wrote
it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or  contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  to
exercise the right  to  control  the  distribution  of  derivative  or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere  aggregation  of  another  work  not  based  on  the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the  Program)  on  a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not  bring  the  other
work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a  work  based  on  it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms  of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:


a. Accompany  it  with  the  complete  corresponding  machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of  Sections  1
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three  years,
to give any third party, for a  charge  no  more  than  your  cost  of
physically   performing    source     distribution,     a     complete
machine-readable  copy  of  the  corresponding  source  code,  to   be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and  2  above  on  a  medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,

c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the  offer  to
distribute corresponding source code.  (This  alternative  is  allowed
only for noncommercial distribution  and  only  if  you  received  the
program in object code or executable  form  with  such  an  offer,  in
accord with Subsection b above.)


The source code for a work means the preferred form of  the  work  for
making modifications to it. For an executable  work,  complete  source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains,  plus  any
associated interface  definition  files,  plus  the  scripts  used  to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as  a
special exception,  the  source  code  distributed  need  not  include
anything that is normally distributed  (in  either  source  or  binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)  of  the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless  that  component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or  object  code  is  made  by  offering
access to copy from  a  designated  place,  then  offering  equivalent
access to  copy  the  source  code  from  the  same  place  counts  as
distribution of the source code, even though  third  parties  are  not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense,  or  distribute  the  Program
except  as  expressly  provided  under  this  License.   Any   attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or  distribute  the  Program  is
void,  and  will  automatically  terminate  your  rights  under   this
License. However, parties who have received copies,  or  rights,  from
you under this License will not  have  their  licenses  terminated  so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License,  since  you  have  not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission  to  modify  or
distribute the Program or its  derivative  works.  These  actions  are
prohibited by law if you do not accept  this  License.  Therefore,  by
modifying or distributing the  Program  (or  any  work  based  on  the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do  so,  and
all its terms and conditions for copying,  distributing  or  modifying
the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work  based  on  the
Program), the recipient automatically  receives  a  license  from  the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify  the  Program  subject
to these  terms  and  conditions.  You  may  not  impose  any  further
restrictions  on  the  recipients'  exercise  of  the  rights  granted
herein. You are not responsible  for  enforcing  compliance  by  third
parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or  allegation  of  patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to  patent  issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court  order,  agreement  or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of  this  License,  they  do
not excuse you from the conditions of  this  License.  If  you  cannot
distribute so as to  satisfy  simultaneously  your  obligations  under
this  License  and  any  other  pertinent  obligations,  then   as   a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at  all.  For  example,
if a patent license would not permit  royalty-free  redistribution  of
the Program by all those who receive  copies  directly  or  indirectly
through you, then the only way you could  satisfy  both  it  and  this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable  under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the  section  is  intended
to apply and the section as a whole is  intended  to  apply  in  other
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you  to  infringe  any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity  of  any
such claims; this section has  the  sole  purpose  of  protecting  the
integrity  of  the  free  software  distribution  system,   which   is
implemented  by  public  license  practices.  Many  people  have  made
generous contributions to  the  wide  range  of  software  distributed
through that system in reliance  on  consistent  application  of  that
system; it is up to the  author/donor  to  decide  if  he  or  she  is
willing  to  distribute  software  through  any  other  system  and  a
licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed  to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of  the  Program  is  restricted  in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  the
original copyright holder who places the Program  under  this  License
may add an explicit  geographical  distribution  limitation  excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only  in  or  among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this  License  incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The  Free  Software  Foundation  may  publish  revised  and/or  new
versions of the General Public License from time  to  time.  Such  new
versions will be similar in spirit to the  present  version,  but  may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the  Program
specifies a version number of this License which  applies  to  it  and
"any later version", you have the option of following  the  terms  and
conditions either of that version or of any  later  version  published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program  does  not  specify  a
version number of this  License,  you  may  choose  any  version  ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program  into  other  free
programs whose distribution conditions are  different,  write  to  the
author to ask for permission. For software  which  is  copyrighted  by
the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free  Software  Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided  by
the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of  our
free software and of promoting  the  sharing  and  reuse  of  software
generally.


NO WARRANTY
===========

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS  LICENSED  FREE  OF  CHARGE,  THERE  IS  NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY  APPLICABLE  LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT  HOLDERS  AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS  IS"  WITHOUT  WARRANTY  OF  ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND  FITNESS  FOR  A  PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE  QUALITY  AND  PERFORMANCE  OF  THE
PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE  DEFECTIVE,  YOU  ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE  LAW  OR  AGREED  TO  IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO  MAY  MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE  TO  YOU
FOR  DAMAGES,  INCLUDING   ANY   GENERAL,   SPECIAL,   INCIDENTAL   OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO  USE  THE
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  LOSS  OF  DATA  OR  DATA  BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES  OR  A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER  PROGRAMS),  EVEN  IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN  ADVISED  OF  THE  POSSIBILITY  OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
