arabianights: More to the point - for the lazy reader - KX connecting now at ten to midnight :)
Roadrunner: Apologies-please reconnect to KX.
arabianights: erm I suppose that goes back to 1st world problems
arabianights: if the meals were from COOK or something I would unequivocally have them, but alas they are from not waitrose, not even M&S, heck not even Tesco - but from the CO OP!!!
Roadrunner: KX 1985 open.
arabianights: still, the even greater simplicity of just sticking something in the microwave an piercing it a little bit shouldn't be understimated
arabianights: (ok sausages and chips is not haute cuisine but these are greate sausages and great chips)
arabianights: the sausage/chip thing is much better quality but also marginally more effort
arabianights: I will decide in about half an hour
Roadrunner: Option B!
arabianights: (not exactly culinary challenges)
arabianights: (for those keeping score, option A is microwave a curry ready meal. option B is cook some sausages and deep fry some chips, then add ketchup to taste...)
arabianights: I still need to work out what I will have for supper but that may take me more than an hour - don't worry though cause the two options both require very little "cooking"
arabianights: okliy dokily
Roadrunner: Give me 10 mins to set-up.
Roadrunner: People have been discouraged in the past from using the chat box.
Temple Meads: There's 28 people online, a KX game should work
arabianights: (heck if you relied on chat probably no game wouold ever start :D )
jishmondo: Maybe tomorrow if anything's going on
arabianights: worth starting a game and seieng if anyone turns up no?
arabianights: a lot of players don't seem to say anything in chat
Roadrunner: I would need more players, DJ.
Roadrunner: Pity, JM. Never mind-hope to see you next time.
arabianights: that said I'm cool with starting the game with any other panel :)
arabianights: sure but I didn't really know what was going on, I think the only way I can get that is to do it from zero time
jishmondo: Would love to play but I have work early tomorrow :(
Roadrunner: You did fine last time. Remember, 3 platforms were closed!
arabianights: I screwed it up big time last time but I reckon I can do it if I start from scratch...
arabianights: how about starting 1985 from beginning with me working cross
arabianights: actually, if it's just you and me in chat
arabianights: uh oh
Roadrunner: I have the saves from 1985.
arabianights: (my upload would probably struggle with it amongst other reasons)
arabianights: in *theory* I could do it but believe me I am not a sensible first choice
Roadrunner: haha. Hosty wosty. Nice new word.
arabianights: who fancies a wee bit of the old hosty-wosty tonight

What the quote appears to be getting at is that whilst it would not be allowed to sell a copy to anyone, to transfer it for no profit would be permitted.

The way I would read it is that if a person wanted to ZIP the files from a working installation and then send that file to someone else to UNZIP on their computer then that would be within the SimSig licence, providing of course that the sim in question had at some point been released officially.

Yes, however that's Clive's manual for Euston, not Geoff's manual for Liverpool Street, you can't just take a licence from one piece of software and apply it to another.

1.1 You are permitted for personal, non-commercial uses only to:

a) load the software into and use it on separate computers which are under your control;

b) transfer the Software (complete with all its associated documentation) and the benefit of this Agreement to another person provided he has agreed to accept the terms of this Agreement and you contemporaneously transfer all copies of the Software you have made to that person or destroy all copies not transferred. If any transferee does not accept such terms then this Agreement shall automatically terminate. The transferor does not retain any rights under this Agreement in respect of the transferred Software.

That to me implies that any Publicly released sim can be distributed as long as payment is not levied between the parties. I never received an official response to this when this question was last brought up.

But it's the licence that comes with Euston, not with Liverpool Street or other older sims.

Not sure how you've come to that implication, that's what the old licence implied, this one says that you can transfer it to someone else so long as the originator destroys the original, it makes no mention of payment.

Seems we are in danger of going round in the circles Geoff alluded to earlier.

It would be better I think to let Geoff come back with an answer as he may put the Liverpool Street sim in to a downlaoder package that all can enjoy on windows 64 bit pc's :) in the next couple of days.......
