M A K E D E M O ----------------- V E N D O R I N F O R M A T I O N -------------------------------------- Last updated: June, 1992 This file provides information for Shareware Distributors, Disk Vendors and Computer Clubs who wish to distribute the MakeDemo 3 package. BBS SYSOPs: Please refer to the SYSOP.DOC text file for information. Individual and Company Users: Please refer to LICENSE.DOC, REGISTER.DOC, and SITELICE.DOC for information. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents ----------------------------------------------------------------- Part 1: Program Information: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Program Name, Category, Keywords ........................... 2 Short Description .......................................... 2 Long Description ........................................... 2 Registration Information ................................... 2 Author/Publisher Information ............................... 3 Part 2: Distribution Requirements: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Limited Distribution License ............................... 4 ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Member Information ............. 5 Other (Non-ASP) Disk Vendor Information .................... 6 Computer Clubs ............................................. 7 Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution ........... 7 CD-ROM and Other Collections ............................... 7 Vendor Update Program ...................................... 8 Please Help Us Serve You Better ............................ 8 Vendor/Distributor Information Page 1 of 8 - MakeDemo - Vendor.DOC - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Part 1: Program Information: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Program Name, Category, Keywords: --------------------------------- MAKEDEMO, Text Organizer, Word Processor for Screens, Prototyper, Interactive Menus, Presentation System, Text Graphics, Computer Aided Instruction, with SHOWDEMO runtime. Short Description: ------------------ MakeDemo gives the novice user the ability to create slide show type presentations with sound effects and various screen overlaying techniques. Mouse support is provided for both creating and showing presentations with interactive menuing. MakeDemo includes tools to put full presentation into a single .EXE file complete with "F1 - Help." Brand and/or serialize creations to encourage your own shareware registration. Files can contain up to 2000 screens; 450 screens, typical on a 360 kByte disk. Long Description: ----------------- MakeDemo is to screens what a good word processor is to paragraphs. Think of MakeDemo as a text organizer for files of screens, not paragraphs. As you work on a creation, add screens, insert blank screens, import text in 25 line chunks from ASCII files, screens captured from other software, or other MakeDemo files, in part or in whole. Then edit a screen at a time, move segments around or copy segments to "place" on other screens. Make copies of screens. Delete screens. Save groups of screens to new files. Sounds like a word processor: except that you scroll through a file screen by screen rather than line by line. All with mouse support. But MakeDemo is more: interactive menus with mouse support. Give your users control in how to view presentations. Simulate menu driven software for very realistic demos. Create a hypertext sort of system for quickly moving through a large presentation, such as a catalog or book on disk. Manually override color/monochrome display formatting. Now, when a "color display" is not stricly a color display, switch over instantly without first exiting to DOS, typing in some modifying commands, and then restarting the presentation all over again. MakeDemo also allows viewing a demo, being created in color, as it would appear on a monochrome display. Vendor/Distributor Information Page 2 of 8 - MakeDemo - Vendor.DOC - Choose from many large fonts when creating outstanding screens. Create boxes with automatic correction for crossing lines. Customize your own or add to selection of boxes and fonts with almost any ASCII text editor. Make professional and small single .EXE file presentations complete with your own order form and "F1 - Help": great for downloading from BBSes. One file has it all: no extra file listing each screen for a presentation or a script language to learn if you want to include menus. "Brand" your presentations and include your own order form, just like MakeDemo's. Serialize copies of your work such as tutorials-on-disk, and discourage any hint of "freeware" with your own "registration encouragement message." The documentation consists of two MakeDemo created files and a text manual. For registered users, in addition to receiving the latest version on disk, there's the printed instruction manual, and a validation number.

ASP Associate Members (often called "ASP Approved Vendors") in good standing do not need to request permission to distribute this package. This permission is in effect until or unless we notify you otherwise, in writing. Vendor/Distributor Information Page 5 of 8 - MakeDemo - Vendor.DOC - If your address, as listed in the ASP Vendor Catalog is incorrect, please send us your current address so we can ensure that you always have the most current version (mailed in a sealed envelope). ASP Associate Members in good standing will receive free upgrades for all shareware products developed and distributed by WindhamWoods Publishing. ASP Vendor Members - Disk Sets: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ASP Vendor Members who wish to distribute the MakeDemo package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) may do so provided that all the other restrictions listed above are met. Other (Non-ASP) Disk Vendor Information: ---------------------------------------- Shareware Distributors and Disk Vendors who are not ASP Associate Members, but who wish to distribute the MakeDemo package must comply with the following restrictions (in addition to those listed above, beginning on page 4). In order for us to ensure that only current versions are distributed, we require that you request permission from us (WindhamWoods Publishing) to distribute any of our products. You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free. When making your request please ensure that we have your correct address and phone number, as well as the name of the person we may contact if necessary. Other (Non-ASP) Vendors - Disk Sets: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the MakeDemo package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from WindhamWoods Publishing prior to beginning such a distribution. Applying for ASP Associate Membership: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you would like to apply for ASP Associate Membership (to become an ASP Approved Vendor), simply write to the following address and request a Vendor Membership Application Package: ASP Executive Director 545 Grover Road Muskegon, MI 49442-9427 U.S.A. or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe MAIL to ASP Executive Director 72050,1433. Vendor/Distributor Information Page 6 of 8 - MakeDemo - Vendor.DOC - If you (Non-ASP Vendors) would like to be placed on our mailing list for future upgrades to any of our products, please refer to the "Vendor Update Program", described below. Computer Clubs: --------------- Computer Clubs and User Groups wishing to add the MakeDemo package to their disk library may do so in accordance with the Distribution Restrictions listed above (beginning on page 4). If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. If you would like your Computer Club or User Group to be placed on our mailing list for future upgrades to any of our products, please contact us for complete details. Our address, phone number, and CompuServe User ID number is listed above (page 3). Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution: ------------------------------------------------- If you would like to distribute the MakeDemo package as a Disk-of-the-Month, or as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the following restrictions apply: ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given permission to distribute the MakeDemo package under the Disk-of-the-Month style of distribution. Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you have the most current version of the software. You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be shipped as Disk-of-the-Month disks. CD-ROM and Other Collections: ----------------------------- If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection, please check the release date of the version you have. If the version is over six (6) months old then please contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was released in February, 1991. ASP Vendor Members who wish to distribute the MakeDemo package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) may do so provided that all the other restrictions listed above are met. Vendor/Distributor Information Page 7 of 8 - MakeDemo - Vendor.DOC - Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the MakeDemo package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from WindhamWoods Publishing prior to beginning such a distribution. Vendor Update Program: ---------------------- Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. We attempt to automatically update those vendors who have played a part in our receiving registrations, but it's difficult to track down each and every one. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then sending money tends to get our attention and helps 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. 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 for which you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10. (Countries outside of North America please add an additional $5). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please. All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update Program is in effect. 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. Please Help Us Serve You Better: -------------------------------- We would appreciate copies of anything you print regarding MakeDemo. Please send us a copy of any reviews, articles, catalog descriptions, or other information you print or distribute regarding the MakeDemo package. Thank you for your time and assistance and for supporting the shareware marketing concept. Please refer to page 3 for our mailing address and phone number. Thank you for your support!
