IMPORTANT NOTE:

This package may not be included on any further Aminet CD-ROMs unless authors
contributing their software to the CD-ROM, (without mentioning distribution
"NoCD") are granted a copy of the CD *completely* *free* *of* *charge*.

The Meeting Pearls IV CD-ROM demonstrates that a Freebie policy is also
possible with "very-low-budget" CD-ROMs (*), so Aminet should quickly
re-establish the same Freebie policy it used up to Aminet CD 13.

(*) Suggested retail price for MP4 is DM 14,95/US$ 12/£ 8.95.
