-
- The Easy Format package is defined as containing all the material
- listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the
- PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are
- missing, then the package is not complete and distribution is
- forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a complete package
- suitable for distribution.
-
- o The Easy Format package - including all related program
- files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any
- way (other than that mentioned in the following paragraph)
- and must be distributed as a complete package, without
- exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of
- all files that are part of the Easy Format package.
-
- 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- o Falk Data Systems prohibits the distribution of outdated
- versions of the Easy Format package, without written
- permission from Falk Data Systems. If the version you
- have obtained is over twelve (12) months old, please

- version.

- 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). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only,
- please.
-
- The BBS Update Program is available for the following products
- (as of November, 1990):
-
- The Programmer's Productivity Pack
- The Programmer's Productivity Pack Lite
- Easy Format: The Fun Floppy Disk Formatter
- Peruse: An ASCII and Binary File Reader
-
- 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 not want to use our BBS Update Program.
-
- Please refer to page 3 for our mailing address and phone number.
- Thank you for your support!
