- Just a little bonus I tossed in to make the initial heralds
- package more attractive. This font contains a small collection of
- speeders (little gas powered vehicles used to haul work crews and
- inspection crews to remote sections of the railroad), hand cars (what
- the railroads used before speeders) and other work equipment.
- These are some more toys to augment my other rail fonts. I am sure
- that there are a few speeder owners out there who will love this
- font.

- Railroad Herald font, Work Train Font and all of their
- accompanying files and train icon are ©1994 Benn Coifman. (that
- looks so nasty now that I typed it)
- <PRE>
- Revisions:
- 1.0 The original
- 1.2 Added AT&SF, WP, IC, B&M and Soo Line. Reassigned the
- characters to new keys (old assignments are still valid in this release,
- but may not be in future versions). Also added a number of cars to
- the WorkTrain font. Removed Burlington Font from the package. Oh,
- and made the documentation infinitely better. Added .AFM files for
- OS/2 and Unix users

- NOW FOR THE "ASKING FOR MONEY" BIT, AKA, THIS IS SHAREWARE:
- <P> You are free to use (play with, throw at the cat, etc.) this font
- for one week after receiving it. If you like it and decide to keep it,
- you should send a US $10 "shareware" fee to myself at the address
- below (for international users, see item 4 in "The Fine Print"). Please
- include a brief note describing where you got this font, what you like
- about it, and what you would like to see in the future.
- <P> If you just have to have the full collection of my train fonts
- (see "Product Ad"), send a couple of FORMATTED 3.5" HD disks (Two
- HD for Mac, or One HD for IBM recommended) and a SELF ADDRESSED
- STAMPED ENVELOPE to the address below. (I hate to format disks
- and you will be sure to get the right machine, Mac or IBM, this way)
- <P> I do not want to send any of my customers into bankruptcy, if
- you are honestly poor, (i.e., you ain't gonna support the American
- way and my education) please send a post card (the weirder the
- better) describing where you got this font, what you like about it and
- what you would like to see added to it.
- <P>THE FINE PRINT:
- <UL>
- <LI>Each font or icon package is an individual product. Thus, if you
- keep Passenger Font and Freight Font, you should pay $20, not $10.
- <LI>You may NOT use this font in any publication or any product unless
- you register your copy by sending $10 FOR EACH FONT YOU USE. Be
- sure to specify which fonts you are registering for. It is not fair for
- you to make money off of my hard work without paying the
- Shareware fees.
- <LI>If you decide to keep several of my shareware products and you are
- only using them for personal applications (or you are using them for
- a struggling NONPROFIT organization promoting railroads), then $10
- a piece can get to be a bit expensive. Please pay what you think they
- are worth. I recommend $10 for the first font and $5 for each
- additional font.
- <LI>If you do not reside in the US, then getting a check in US$ may be
- difficult for you. So, I will also accept any interesting widgets, toys,
- books, time tables, postcards or what not. What's common place to
- you is quite possibly exotic for me. By the way, I'm a rail fan (hint
- hint hint)
- <LI>You may distribute this font for free, however, you may not sell this
- font or include it in any package for sale without the written
- permission of myself, Benn Coifman. I am very agreeable to CD
- ROM's and shareware packages for sale, however, I do want to retain
- some degree of control over my work. So, please contact me first.
- (note, this clause does NOT apply to dial up services like Compuserve,
- America On Line and bulletin boards that charge by the unit of time.
- Theses services may list my products without contacting me)

- WHY SHOULD YOU SEND IN THE SHAREWARE FEE?
- <P> Well, I am releasing this font in it's entirety. I put a lot of hard
- work into this font. I have also gotten a lot of pleasure from it.
- Ignoring all of the capitalistic angles, your shareware dollar will
- speed up the development of new train fonts and help me afford
- new font tools. My goal is to at least break even.
- <P> Only 39 people have registered my shareware products since I
- first released them ten months ago. There are a lot of expenses that
- go into these fonts. My font editor cost almost $300. Then there are
- the little expenses like ink cartridges (you wouldn't believe how
- many ink cartridges I go through) and paying for a mail box. Oy!
- And you want to talk about memory... 40 Meg of hard disk devoted
- to fonts and icon development.
- <P> I would love to purchase the latest version of Illustrator and
- produce more clip art. I could also use more disk space to keep these
- toys in.
- <P>
-
- BENEFITS OF PAYING THE SHAREWARE FEE:
- <P> Enough of what shareware fees do for me, what will they do for
- you!? I will spend less time on school and more time on producing
- shareware. You will also be entitled to a peek into things to come. If
- you send a disk (or two) along with your payment, I will give the
- Demo font that includes all of the odd characters that haven't quite
- found a home yet (including a number of steam engines!). In
- addition, I will rush you out the most recent versions of my fonts
- and icons. I might even toss in a couple of pre-release fonts.
- <P>
- GIVE IT TO YOUR FRIENDS, RAIL FONTS MAKE GREAT BIRTHDAY
- GIFTS (GRIN):
- <P>
- YOU WANT YOUR CAR (OR DREAM CAR), LOGO OR HERALD ON YOUR
- KEYBOARD?
- I am willing to do custom work, as my time allows, at reasonable
- rates.
