You have to read the line in and write it out again, if I understand your 
problem. I use FILEREXX addin DLL. Here is the license:

   

 FILEREXX.DLL and this document are copyright 1995 by the author, Jeff
Glatt.  These items are freely 
 distributable.  There are no pagan user fees, surreptitious financial
charges, or other devious capitalist trickery 
 associated with the use of these files.  There are also no warranties of
any kind with this software.  If 
 swallowed, induce vomiting immediately (by contemplating the aesthetics of
Windows).  You can do anything 
 you like with this archive, except reverse engineer or modify
FILEREXX.DLL, nor can you poke it with a sharp 
 stick.  But you can print it out on flimsy paper stock, wrap it around
your privates, and go to work like that as 
 long as you don't blame the author for your actions.  You are not allowed
to think nasty thoughts about the 
 author, even if the software somehow causes the erasure of your collection
of smutty picture files.  You may 
 have more or less protections in certain states of the union, depending
upon how far your local politicians bend 
 over for a bribe from some business lobbyist.  Just remember that I have
no money, so don't bother suing me 
 for any damages as a result of using this software.  Tell your greasy
lawyer to go after IBM, and make sure 
 that you pick 12 really stupid pinheads for the jury.   

 I can be contacted at: 

 6 Sycamore Drive East 
 New Hartford, NY 13413 
 (315) 735-5350   

 Report bug fixes, or shut up.   

 Whose says that writing software licenses is no fun?     

I forgot where I got it, but it does work.
