This file provides information for shareware disk vendors and user
groups on the distribution of 4DOS, 4OS2, or 4DOS/NT.
We are glad to work with you in the distribution of our product, as user
groups and disk vendors are an important part of the shareware distribu-
tion system.
Before placing 4DOS, 4OS2, or 4DOS/NT or any part of the program package
in any shareware or other disk library, or distributing shareware copies
for a fee in any way, you must meet one of these conditions:
* If you are a U.S.-based shareware disk vendor, you must be an ap-
proved member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP),
and your application must be fully approved in writing by the ASP,
not simply submitted or awaiting review. If you are not an ASP mem-
ber, we cannot currently offer you permission to distribute our prod-
ucts. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we
have found that the administrative overhead required to handle non-
ASP vendors from within the U.S. is simply too high.
* If you are a U.S.-based, non-profit, tax-exempt user group, you may
place shareware copies of our programs in your library without prior
written permission, provided you obtain a diskette copy from another
vendor (not a downloaded copy), and notify us in writing within 15
days of doing so.
* If you are a disk vendor based outside the U.S., you must either be
an ASP member, or you must obtain prior written permission from us
before distributing 4DOS, 4OS2, or 4DOS/NT.
If you meet one of these criteria and would like to carry our programs,
you may obtain them from another vendor if the other vendor has received
their copy directly from us. If you prefer to distribute shareware
obtained directly from the author, please write us and we will send you
a copy on diskette at no charge. In either case, please send us a copy
of your catalog for our files.
PLEASE NOTE: JP SOFTWARE DOES NOT PERMIT RETAIL RACK DISTRIBUTION OF
OUR PRODUCTS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If you use retail racks, please
do NOT contact us for approval of rack distribution, as it will be
denied! This applies even if you have distributed our products via rack
or CD-ROM in the past.
CD-ROM distribution is permitted but ONLY if (a) you meet the require-
ments for diskette distribution stated above, and (b) you contact us for
permission prior to starting distribution of any JP Software product via
CD-ROM.
Non-ASP vendors who wish to consider becoming ASP approved can obtain
information from:
Association of Shareware Professionals
545 Grover Road
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427
