+
+RESTRICTIONS:
+ This is NOT public domain code. You are not to redistribute this code.
+ The only approved site to obtain this code from is the site listed above:
+ www.chatsystems.com/docs/uworld.html  ALL code in this distribution is
+ copyright by Internet Chat Systems, Inc. (even if it is OLD speghetti code)
+
+NOTE:  This code was hacked/thrown together over about 7 years of
+ tossing ideas around, learning more about C, and is quite honestly
+ NOT something I would dare to consider professional quality code. This
+ code was mainly never distributed because I consider it somewhat embarassing
+ to read through.  You are welcome to use this code to help learn things,
+ and you are welcome to use it on your own IRC network, however please give
+ credit where credit is due, do not redistribute the code. have your friends
+ obtain the code from the Uworld distribution site listed above.
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+  I make no promises about anything associated with this code, and do not
+ plan on supporting this in any way.   It has been used previously on
+ OSF1, IRIX4.5, and BSDI.  It also atleast compiles under FreeBSD.  Quite
+ simply, no warranties, no garuntees, no support.  This is OLD (extremely
+ old) code. This code is distributed AS IS, with no support what so ever.
+ I apologize for the lack of documentation or instructions. I had not intended
+ to actually ever publicize this code, however numerous people have shown lots
+ of interest in obtaining it, so after recent events, I decided what the heck,
+ its not doing me any good sitting there doing nothing, if it helps someone
+ else on the network, then as long as they read the blurb about chatsystems
+ on our distribution site, why not give it out.
+
+OFFER:
+  If you are interested in a more professionally designed version of Uworld
+(version 3) which is P10, that has been used on the Undernet IRC network,
+please send me a note danny@chatsystems.com and we can discuss licensing a
+BINARY version of Uworld.v3 
+
+ ##########################################################################
+
+  This is the original P9 Uworld used by Undernet for several years. Undernet
+was the first network to allow operators special abilities to help thier users.
+The name Uworld actually came from UnderWorld.uoknor.edu which was the first
+version of operator services that was later just called Uworld when we became
+what is now called Undernet.  There have been numerous immitations on the
+network and it is very flattering that my ideas and the ideas of Undernet have
+been picked up and such by others to the point that having a Uworld on the
+network is almost considered a tradition.
+
+ Feel free to send me email about this or other chat network related services.
+Internet Chat Systems (at the time of this writing) currently maintains the
+Undernet Channel Services (X/W), the Undernet P10 Uworld (Uworld.v3), and the
+RCSD chatserver (which supports HTML, IRC, and direct Telnet connections). We
+are about to release the new version of X/W and soon will be looking at adding
+new and exciting modules to the RCSD chatserver to improve chat network add on
+services.    Internet Chat Systems, Chat Network services are professionally
+coded top of the line services (NOT like this uworld source that you have here)
+Please let us know if we can be of service to you or your chat network.
