-
- o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file
- (advertisement) to each archived file. This text file
- describes the BBS and tells people that the file was
- downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a
- small one-line message with their BBS name and phone
- number into the compressed file, which will display when
- the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of
- mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used,
- provided the program and documentation is otherwise
- unmodified and complete.
-
- o CQ Research Corp prohibits the distribution of outdated
- versions of the Business Base package, without written
- permission from CQ Research Corp. If the version you

- BBS Update Program:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get
- them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc.
- This is good because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or
- upload files to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs prefer to obtain
- programs directly from the authors. If you would like to obtain
- programs directly from us, automatically, then please help us to cover
- the cost.
-
- If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
- products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below.
- Due to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly
- to a large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to
- mail updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
-
- If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
- advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can
- receive updates for an entire year for only $10 per program (this
- helps to offset our costs).
-
- To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and address
- of your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
- (preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program (or programs) for which
- you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10.
- for each program (for countries outside of North America please add an
- additional $10 per program).
-
- NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will
- automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release
- while their BBS Update Program is in effect.
-
- The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
- expenses in those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program
- directly from us. If you have other standard ways to obtain
- programs, then you may prefer not to use our BBS Update Program.
-
- Please refer to DESCRIBE.DOC for our mailing address and phone
- number. Thank you for your support!
