Section 7 - Installation
Attention:
To prevent damage to chassis corners and / or breaking the front glass, please
review the illustrations below before handling the units!
Installation and Mounting
1) Most of our products are intended for various methods of installation or

mounting (panel mounting, bracket mounting, ceiling/wall, console
mounting etc.); for details, please see the relevant mechanical drawings.
2) Adequate ventilation is a necessary prerequisite for the life of the product.
The air inlet and outlet openings must definitely be kept clear; coverings
which restrict ventilation are not permissible.
3) Generally, do not install the unit in a horizontal position (lying down), as
this will cause heat to build up inside the unit which will damage the LCD
Panel. To prevent this problem we recommend installing the unit in a
vertical position (±30 degrees) to improve the airflow through the unit.
4) To further improve the cooling of the unit we recommend installing Cooling
Fans underneath blowing upwards into the unit air inlet. This may be

required in high temperature applications and also when there is reason to

expect temperature problems due to a non-optimal way of mounting.
5) Exposure to extreme direct sunlight can cause a considerable increase in
the temperature of the unit and might under certain circumstances lead to
over-heating. This point should already be taken into consideration when
the bridge equipment is being planned (sun shades, distance from the
windows, ventilation, etc.)
6) Space necessary for ventilation, for cable inlets, for the operating
procedures and for maintenance, must be provided.
7) If the push buttons of the product are not illuminated, an external,
dimmable illumination (IEC 60945 Ed. 4, 4.2.2.3, e.g. Goose neck light) is
required for navigational use. The illumination shall be dazzle-free and
adjustable to extinction.
8) Information about necessary pull-relievers for cables is indicated in the
Physical Connection section of this manual. Attention must be paid to this
information so that cable breaks will not occur, e.g. during service work.
9) Do not paint the product. The surface treatment influences on the excess
heat transfer. Painting, labels, or other surface treatments that differ from
the factory default might cause overheating.
10) Expose to heavy vibration and acoustic noise might under certain
circumstances affect functionality and expected lifetime. This must be
considered during system assembly and installation. Mounting position
must carefully be selected to avoid any exposure of amplified vibration.
General Mounting Instructions
1) The useful life of the C-NaviGator III generally decreases with increasing
ambient temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such units in air-
conditioned rooms. If there are no such facilities these rooms must at
least be dry, adequately ventilated, and kept at a suitable temperature in
order to prevent the formation of condensation inside the display unit.
2) Cooling of the C-NaviGator III takes place via the surface of the casing.
The cooling must not be impaired by partial covering of the unit or by
installation of the unit in a confined cabinet.
3) In the area of the wheel house, the distance of the C-NaviGator III from
the magnetic standard compass or the magnetic steering compass must
not be less than the permitted magnetic protection distance. This distance
is measured from the center of the magnetic system of the compass to the
nearest point on the C-NaviGator III. The compass safe distance of the C-
NaviGator III is at least 80cm (31.5”) from a standard compass; at least
45cm (18”) from a steering compass.

4) When selecting the site of a display unit, the maximum cable lengths have
to be considered.
5) When a product is being installed, the surface base or bulkhead must be
checked to ensure that it is flat in order to avoid twisting of the unit when
the fixing screws are tightened, because such twisting would impair
mechanical functions. Any unevenness should be compensated for by
means of spacing-washers.
6) The grounding screws of the units must be connected to the body of the
ship (ground); the wire used should have a cross sectional area of at least
6 mm2 (10AWG).
7) Transportation damage, even if apparently insignificant at first glance,
must immediately be examined and be reported to the freight carrier. The
moment of setting-to-work of the equipment is too late, not only for
reporting the damage but also for the supply of replacements.
8) The classification is only valid for approved mounting brackets provided by
C & C Technologies. The unit shall be mounted stand-alone without any
devices or loose parts placed at or nearby the unit. Any other type of
mounting might require test and re-classification.
Ergonomics
1) Adjust the unit height so that the top of the screen is at or below eye level.
Your eyes should look slightly downwards when viewing the middle of the
screen.
2) Adjust screen inclination to remain gaze angle to the center of the screen
approximately perpendicular to the line of gaze.
3) When products are to be operated both from a sitting position and from a
standing position, a screen inclination of about 30° to 40° (from a vertical
plane) has turned out to be favorable.
4) The brightness of displays is limited. Sunlight passing directly through the
bridge windows - or its reflection - which falls upon the screen workplaces
must be reduced by suitable means (negatively inclined window surfaces,
venetian blinds, distance from the windows, dark coloring of the
deckhead). However, units can be offered with optical enhanced
technology to reduce reflections and are viewable in direct sun light; but
as a general rule it is recommended to install or mount the units at the
bridge wing area by suitable alignment or bulkhead / deckhead mounting
in such a way that reflections of light from the front pane of the display are
not directed into the observer’s viewing direction.
5) The use of ordinary commercial filter plates or filter films is not permitted
for items of equipment that require approval (by optical effects, “aids” of
that kind can suppress small radar targets, for example).

Cables
Use only high quality shielded signal cables.
Cable Entries & Connectors (Marked area) - Illustration only
Maximum Cable Length

Any cable should generally be kept as short as possible to provide a high quality
input / output. The maximum signal cable length will depend on the signal
resolution and frequency.
Configuring Housing Connectors
Housing connectors are available in different sizes (2-pin, 4-pin or 5-pin) which
plugs into the connector area of the unit. These housing connectors are by
factory default mounted on the unit. Below is a brief illustration that might be
useful during configuration and installation of such connectors. You will need
suitable pre-configured cable(s) and tools to configure the connector(s) and
cable(s) that are present in your installation environment. Below is a sample for a
2-pin DC power connector. The procedure is the same for other connectors of
this type.

FIG 1: Unscrew (from top) or make sure that the screw terminals (square area)
are fully open, so you can secure the inserted cables correctly to the loose
housing connector (it may already be plugged into the unit as per factory
installation).
FIG 2: Insert cables* (from front) and screw / secure the cables by turning the
screw on top of the housing to secure the cables properly. Check that the cables
are firmly in place and do not appear loose or fall out when pulling gently.
*Note:
Required polarization verification (for instance -/+ for DC power input) should
conform to the markings on the connector area of the unit. Ignoring the
markings on the unit or its add-on modules might damage the unit and / or
external equipment in which end, warranty will be void.
FIG 3: Plug the housing into the appropriate connector area of the unit and check
again that the cables secured conform to the markings on the connector area of
the unit. Finalize the installation by fastening the screws located in front on each
side of the housing connector (FIG 4).

Appendix C - Glossary
1PPS (1 Pulse Per Second) A precision electronic pulse output (at
TTL levels) from the GNSS receiver that marks exact second
intervals (1 s). It is used for precise timing and to
synchronize sensors and acquisition computers.
Azimuth The horizontal angle of the observer's bearing in surveying,

measured clockwise from a referent direction, as from the
north, or from a referent celestial body, usually Polaris.
Bad Packets The percentage of bad C-Nav correction packets received

since the unit was turned on.
Bit Error Rate Number of received bits of a data stream over a

communication channel that have been altered due to noise,
interference, distortion or bit synchronization errors. The Bit
Error Rate is considered good if less than 20. The maximum
reported value is 500.
C-Monitor A utility program used to monitor the quality of the position

information received from a GNSS receiver. No position
calculations are done in C-Monitor. C-Monitor simply creates
a visual representation of the data received from a GNSS
unit.
C-Nav1010 The C-Nav GNSS receiver combines a dual-frequency,

geodetic grade, GNSS receiver with an integrated LBAND
communication RF detector and decoder -- all linked by an
internal microprocessor. The entire assembly is combined
into a single integrated package that is durable, lightweight
and water/weatherproof.
C-Nav2000 The C-Nav2000 GNSS navigational

receiver is a 10-channel dual frequency
unit with two additional channels for
receiving Satellite Based Augmentation
System (SBAS) signals and an L-Band
demodulator for reception of the C-Nav

correction service. For more information, go to

www.cnav.com.
C-Nav2050 The C-Nav2050 survey GNSS

receiver has expanded
capabilities including RTK, 1PPS
output, etc. As with the model C-
Nav2000, the C-Nav2050 is a 10-
channel, dual frequency,
precision GNSS receiver, with
two additional channels for receiving SBAS signals and an L-
Band demodulator for reception of C-Nav subscription
signals. Maximum data output rate is 50Hz and Position
Velocity Time (PVT) data can output at 25Hz. Two 115kbps
serial ports are available. For more information, go to
www.cnav.com.
C-Nav3050 The C-Nav3050survey GNSS receiver has expanded

capabilities including RTK, 1PPS output, etc. As with other
C-Nav receivers, the C-Nav3050 includes dual frequency,
precision GNSS receiver, with two additional channels for
receiving SBAS signals and an L-Band demodulator for
reception of C-Nav subscription signals. For more
information, go to www.cnav.com.
Correction Signal The Correction Signal-to-Noise ratio. This graph is only

available with the C-Nav system.
Correction Type The type or source of differential corrections being applied to

the GNSS receiver.
Course True The course computed by the GNSS receiver.
Differential Age The time in seconds since the GNSS unit received the last
differential correction update.
Differential GPS A technique for improving GPS solution accuracy by

reducing the error based on signals received at a known
location. Single point code positioning with pseudorange
corrections are applied from simultaneous observations at
the known position. One to ten meter accuracy is typical.

DOP Dilution of Precision is a scale factor representing the effect

of satellite constellation geometry positioning accuracy.
Standard terms for GNSS applications are:
GDOP Geometric Dilution of Precision -- three

coordinates plus clock offset
PDOP Position Dilution of Precision) -- three
coordinates (See PDOP definition below)
HDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision -- two
coordinates
VDOP Vertical Dilution of Precision -- height only
TDOP Time Dilution of Precision) -- clock offset only
Elevation Height of the GNSS antenna above the reference ellipsoid.
Error Ellipse A statistical measure of the positional error at a given point

computed from the propagation of all errors affecting the
position solution and expressed by its semi-major and semi-
minor axis (vectors of greatest and least magnitude) and the
covariance (rotation angle in the reference coordinate
system). Two-dimensional errors are typically propagated at
one-standard deviation (39.4% probability that the position
lies on or within the ellipse) or 2.1447 times the standard
deviation (95% confidence) level.
FOM Figure of Merit
GNSS Receiver A GNSS receiver consists of a number of basic components:

an antenna with optional preamplifier, a radio-frequency and
intermediate- frequency (RF/IF) "front end" section, a signal
tracker / correlator section, and a microprocessor to control
the receiver, process the signals, and compute the receiver's
coordinates. The receiver will also include a power supply
and memory devices to store instructions and data.
HAE Height Above Ellipsoid – RTK vertical reference plane.

L1-L2 Sig. Strength GNSS satellites transmit spread spectrum signals in two
frequency bands, L1 and L2 (1575.42 and 1223.6 MHz,
respectively). The satellite signals carry both time
information and a data strings, referred to as the GNSS
navigation message. This message is transmitted at a rate
of 50 bits per second. Using the data from 4 or more
satellites, a GNSS receiver can accurately determine local
latitude, longitude and height. Civilian applications are
confined to the L1 band for computing position. The C & C
Technologies and military receivers employ both L1 and L2
bands, offering a significant improvement in accuracy.
NMEA 0183 This guideline for Interfacing marine electronics devices is a

voluntary industry standard, first released in March of 1983.
NMEA 0183 defines electrical signal requirements, data
transmission protocol, timing, and specific sentence formats
for up to 38.4K-baud serial data bus.
PDOP Position Dilution of Precision is the most common

mathematical expression of the quality of solutions. It is
based on the geometry of the satellites with the best case
being a value of 1. Higher numbers indicate worse quality.
The best DOP would occur with one satellite directly
overhead and three others evenly spaced about the horizon.
PDOP has a multiplicative effect on range error. For
example, a range error of 32 meters with a PDOP of 1 would
give a user an assumed best accuracy of 32 meters. A
PDOP of 2 would result in an assumed accuracy of 64
meters. C-NaviGator III can be programmed to stop
providing position solutions above a specific PDOP level (6
is common).
Position Includes Current Latitude, Longitude, Geoidal Height,

HDOP, PDOP, Type of corrections, Current Station ID,
Differential Age, Velocity, UTC Time and UTC Date if
available.
PPS Precise Positioning Service – a positioning service that

includes velocity and timing information. PPS is
continuously available, worldwide to authorized users. PPS

information is usually (but not always) encrypted to prevent

use by unauthorized users.
Pseudorange A measure of the apparent propagation time from the

satellite to the receiver antenna, expressed as a distance.
The apparent propagation time is determined from the time
shift required to align a replica of the GNSS code generated
in the receiver with the received GNSS code. The time shift
is the difference between the time of signal reception
(measured in the receiver time frame) and the time of
emission (measured in the satellite time frame).
Pseudorange is obtained by multiplying the apparent signal-
propagation time by the speed of light. Pseudorange differs
from the actual range by the amount that the satellite and
receiver clocks are offset, by propagation delays, and other
errors including those introduced by selective availability.
PVT Position Velocity Time
RTCM Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services) – A

Commission set up to define a differential data link to relay
GNSS correction messages from a monitor station to a field
user. The RTCM SC-104 recommendation is the defacto
standard for differential GNSS correction transmission. It
defines the correction message format and 16 different
correction message types.
RTG Real Time Gypsy -- Developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion

Laboratory (JPL) to provide centimeter-level accuracy for
space applications. A single RTG subscription service,
combined with C-Nav hardware, can provide you with
worldwide positioning capability on the order of 0.1 meter.
RTK Real Time Kinematic (or Kinematic Surveying) involves a

roving receiver that does not need to stop to collect precision
information. Meter / centimeter level accuracy is available
using modern dual-frequency carrier-phase measurement
techniques.

SBAS Satellite Based Augmentation System - Includes, but is not

limited to: WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) and
EGNOS (European Geo-stationary Navigation Overlay
System). Ranging signals generated on the ground and
provided via C-band (or K-band) downlink are provided to
the end user. These signals contain integrity data on
satellite system.
Sky Plot This option displays a plot of the current GNSS satellite
locations with reference to the GNSS receiver. C-NaviGator
III refers to this presentation as “Position Information”.
Scatter Plot This option displays a plot of satellite positions relative to the
receiver and provides an indication of relative signal strength
in the two frequency bands.
Visible Sats The number of Satellites used by the receiver in the position
solution.
WAAS Wide Area Augmentation Service -- A system of satellites

and ground stations that provide GNSS signal corrections
over a wide area. An accuracy improvement on the order of
three meters, with 95 percent confidence, is realized.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 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 Lesser 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.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

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.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of

the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to
achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.

It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty;
and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and
a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea

of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it

and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation;
either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any
later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be

useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied
warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more
details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General

Public License along with this program; if not, write to
the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street,
Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic

and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short

notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of
author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for
details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to
redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of
course, the commands you use may be called something other
than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks
or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a

programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright
disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a
sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest

in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written
by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating

your program into proprietary programs. If your program is
a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to
permit linking proprietary applications with the library.
If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.
