1 Installing and loading

The Windows toolkit must be installed and then loaded to be used.
It can be installed in GNU Octave directly from octave-forge, or can be installed in an off-line
mode via a downloaded tarball.
The toolkit must be then be loaded once per each GNU Octave session in order to use its
functionality.

1.1 Windows install

If running in Windows, the package may already be installed, to check run:
pkg list windows
Otherwise it can be installed by installing the requirements and then using the online or offline
install method.

1.2 Online Direct install

With an internet connection available, the Windows package can be installed from octave-forge
using the following command within GNU Octave:
pkg install -forge windows
The latest released version of the toolkit will be downloaded and installed.

1.3 Off-line install

With the Windows toolkit package already downloaded, and in the current directory when
running GNU Octave, the package can be installed using the following command within GNU
Octave:
pkg install windows-1.6.4.tar.gz

1.4 Loading
Regardless of the method of installing the Windows toolkit, in order to use its functions, the
toolkit must be loaded using the pkg load command:
pkg load windows
The toolkit must be loaded on each GNU Octave session.
 2

2 Basic Usage Overview

The Windows package must be loaded each time a GNU Octave session is started:
pkg load windows
The Windows toolkit provides 2 main types of functionality:
COM Interface functions
These are functions that allow interfacing to COM objects.
Windows Utilities
Functions that provide additional functions for windows

2.1 COM objects

2.1.1 Creating a COM object
To create a COM object, you use the actxserver function with the name of the object to create.
wshell = actxserver ("WScript.Shell");
A octave com object type will be returned that provides an interface to the functions and
properties of the object.
To get a list of properties for the object, use the get function. Assuming we have the wshell
object from the previous example:
get(wshell)
A list of the properties of the object will be displayed.
To get a list of the methods available for the object, use the methods function.
methods(wshell)

2.1.2 Using a COM object

Once a object is created using the actxserver function, and you know the methods and properties
available, call the properties of methods using the dot notation.
The following example will display the current directory.
wshell = actxserver ("WScript.Shell");
wshell.CurrentDirectory
Calling functions is performed in the same way.
wshell = actxserver ("WScript.Shell");
wshell.Exec("notepad.exe");

2.1.3 Releasing COM object

A COM object should be released when it is not going to be used anymore to free any resources
it may have allowed.
release(wshell);

2.2 Windows Utility functions

A number of utility functions are available. See the reference for their usage.

3 Function Reference
The functions currently available in the Windows toolkit are described below:

3.1 Windows Utilities

3.1.1 clipboard
clipboard (’copy’, data) [Loadable Function]
txt = clipboard (’paste’) [Loadable Function]
Insert or get data from the clipboard.
’copy’ or ’paste’ is the required operation to perform. where ’copy’ will copy data to the
clipboard, and paste will paste data from the clipboard to a variable.
data is the data to copy to the clipboard.
txt is the text from the clipboard or an empty string it it can not convert to text..
Examples:
Copy a string to the clipboard:
clipboard('copy', 'hello world');

axis (optional) if specified then the first 2 clicks must be on the appropriate axes. x and y (or
just x if only 2 points specified ) will then be normalised.
for example:
x=grab([1 10])
the first two clicks should correspond to x=1 and x=10 subsequent clicks will then be
normalized to graph units.
for example:
[x,y]=grab;
gives x and y in screen pixel units (upper left = 0,0 )
Select points by positioning the cursor over the points and clicking <SPACE>. ’q’ or <ESC>
quits

the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify it.
For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty
for this free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the GPL requires that modified versions
be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software
inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with
the aim of protecting users’ freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such
abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for
those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend
this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom
of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow
patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those
that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make
it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render
the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 11

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Definitions.
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as
semiconductor masks.
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is
addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion
requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work
is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make
you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except
executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some
countries other activities as well.
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or
receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer
of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it
includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate
copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License,
and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or
options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications
to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work.
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a
recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a
whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which
is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with
that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation
is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means
a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating
system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work,
or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code
needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify
the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the
work’s System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which
are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For
example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files
for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms
that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or
control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 12

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically
from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program,
and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms
your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes
a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as
provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions
so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others
for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide
you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of
this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus
making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under
your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated
below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any
applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on
20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights
under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your
or third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey 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; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-
permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of
the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the
Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer
support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the
Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also
meet all of these conditions:
a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a
relevant date.
b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License
and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement
in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes
into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 13

section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how
they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other
way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices;
however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not
by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as
to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
“aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or
legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion
of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of
the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5,
provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms
of this License, in one of these ways:
a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical
distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable
physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical
distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and
valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model,
to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding
Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable
physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than
your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to
copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the
Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,
and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
6b.
d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a
charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way
through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code
is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by
you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to
ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other
peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to
the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding
Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible personal
property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything
designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 14

consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of
that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which
the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is
a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial
or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the
product.
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization
keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work
in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information
must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no
case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in,
a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of
possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source
conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But
this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to
install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed
in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to
continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified
or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.
Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely
affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication
across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this
section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation
available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making
exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to
the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the
extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part
of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire
Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional
permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written
to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or
can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work,
you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of
this License with terms:
a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and
16 of this License; or
b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in
that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 15

c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified

versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original
version; or
d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material;
or
e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks,
or service marks; or
f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who
conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability
to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the
meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice
stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits
relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive
such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the
relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice
indicating where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately
written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the
third paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright
holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify
you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the
copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first
time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright
holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties
who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been
terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for
the same material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.
Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-
peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing
other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.
These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 16

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from
the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You
are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or sub-
stantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If
propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transac-
tion who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party’s
predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the
predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed
under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge
for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including
a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by
making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program
or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor’s
“contributor version”.
A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the
contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some
manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but
do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification
of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to
grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise
run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment,
however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to
a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against
the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding
Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of
this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange
to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange,
in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to
downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use
of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or
propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some
of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or
convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically
extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 17

A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage,
prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights
that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing
software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your
activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in
connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those
copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or
other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable
patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If 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 convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the
Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine
any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of
this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special
requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction
through a network will apply to the combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 that a certain
numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later version” applies to it,
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version
or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not
specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General
Public License can be used, that proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version
permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional
obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to
follow a later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPY-
RIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS”
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 18

WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUD-

ING, 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.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODI-
FIES AND/OR CONVEYS 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.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local
legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless
a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

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 state 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 3 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, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in
an interactive mode:
program Copyright (C) year name of author
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’.
Appendix A: GNU General Public License 19

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, your program’s commands might be different; for a GUI
interface, you would use an “about box”.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a
“copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to
apply and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
The GNU 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. But first, please read http://www.gnu.
org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.
