-
- This file provides information for the distribution of
- shareware copies of DRAFT CHOICE by Disk Vendors. Please note
- that our policy on distribution of DRAFT CHOICE is the same for
- both commercial vendors, non-profit user group libraries, and
- educational institutions.
-
- We require that you obtain written permission from us before
- placing DRAFT CHOICE in any user group or commercial library,
- unless you have been approved by the Association of Shareware
- Professionals and have notified us that you wish to distribute
- DRAFT CHOICE.
-
- Please note that before we can send you a copy of DRAFT CHOICE
- and give you permission to distribute it, we require that you
- meet one of the following two conditions:
-
- 1. Send us a copy of your standard written materials
- (catalogs, flyers, ads, etc.) which clearly explain the
- shareware concept, the need for users to register shareware
- products they use, and the fact that the price of your
- disks, that the user pays to you, is a copying fee ONLY and
- does not constitute payment for the product. The material
- must also clearly differentiate between Shareware and
- Public Domain software.
-
- Note that it is not sufficient to tell us that you explain
- these issues to customers in person, it must be clearly
- reflected in your written materials.
-
-
- 2. Become an Approved Vendor of the Association of Shareware
- Professionals (ASP). For more information on the ASP
- vendor program, contact the ASP at:
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- Vendor Certification Committee
- P.O. Box 5786
- Bellevue, WA 98006
-
- If you have not already done so, we strongly recommend that
- you become an ASP approved vendor. The ASP vendor program
- provides an important service for both authors and vendors,
- and gives customers confidence that reasonable standards are
- met in the distribution of shareware products.
-
- We find it necessary to insist on meeting one of the two
- conditions, stated above, in order to qualify for shareware
- distribution of DRAFT CHOICE, due to widespread confusion about
- shareware in the marketplace, and the occasionally troublesome
- practices of some vendors. We look forward to working with you
- in the future. Please feel free to contact us if you have any
- questions or comments on our product or our policies.
-
- You can contact us at any of the addresses below. Please mail
- materials to us at the P.O. Box address.
