- Vendor Update Program:
- ----------------------
-
- Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
- They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to
- mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some
- vendors 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 you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but you would
- still like to receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take
- advantage of our Vendor 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 your name, company name,
- mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as your
- disk librarian), the program (or programs) for which you would like to
- receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program
- (Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
- program).
-
-
- NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and do not
- need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is yet another
- advantage to being an ASP Associate Member.
-
- The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
- those cases where a vendor 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 Vendor Update Program.
