The Miranda system is a licensed product of Research  Software  Limited,
and  may  be  used only on computers for which a currently valid license
has been obtained.  Two kinds of license are available:

Educational licenses, permitting the use of the  software  in  teaching,
and  in not-for-profit research carried out by teaching institutions and
funded from their own internal resources.

Commercial licenses, needed for all other purposes (including University
research funded by external grants).

The Miranda system runs  on  a  variety  of  computers  under  the  UNIX
operating  system,  including  (at  the  time of writing) SUN/Sparc, DEC
Alpha, Silicon Graphics, IBM RS/6000, HP9000, PC/Linux.  Ports  to  some
other  UNIX  systems  and  to  Windows  95/98/NT are planned in the near
future.

The following are planned (no dates as yet)
 (i) A version of Miranda for the Macintosh.
 (ii) Native code versions of Miranda, giving much  greater  speed  than
the current interpretive system.

Existing license holders will be notified when either  of  these  become
available.
