COPYRIGHT 1992-98:  Amateur radio operators may freely copy and use 
the APRS software in the Amateur Radio Service.  I have tried to make 
APRS fully capable of receiving and plotting ALL on-the-air packets 
whether a station is registered or not.  The registration contribution 
only balances the headache factor, and to cover myself against un-
licensed commercial exploitation.  What you get for registering is the 
ability to interface your OWN GPS/WX/DF units and a little convenience 
in saving your configuration.

These APRS formats are provided for use in the amateur radio service.  
HAMS may apply the APRS formats in the TRANSMISSION of position, 
weather, and status packets.  However, the author reserves the 
ownership of these protocols for exclusive commercial application and for 
all reception and plotting applications.  APRS is a registered trademark 
of APRS Engineering LLC.  Other software engineers desiring to include 
APRS RECEPTION in their software  for sale within or outside of the 
amateur community will require a license from the author.  Also 
TRANSMISSION of APRS protocols in any NON-AMATEUR commercial application 
or software will require a license from the author.  Licensing is not
intended to be restrictive, but to provide a means for the maintaining
a consistent on-air protocol and for the owner of APRS to share in any
proceeds made from APRS commercial applications.

See the aprsdigi.8 and aprsmon.1 man pages.  Aprsdigi is an APRS NODE
digipeater (see MIC-E.TXT and DIGIS.TXT -- all these files are in the
APRSdos README directory.  Aprsmon enables a rudimentary TNC monitor
as expected by Steve Dimse's javAPRS applet.  If you want to build the
aprsmon without saving up stale packets in a shared memory segment,
give the --disable-shm option to configure.

See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
