- This file provides information for bulletin board sysops on the distri-
- bution of 4OS2 via BBS systems.
-
- We do explicitly permit uploads of the shareware version of 4OS2 to BBS
- systems. (Obviously uploads of the registered version are not permit-
- ted).
-
- If your BBS is associated with a shareware library which distributes
- disks for a fee, you must meet our requirements BEFORE placing 4OS2 in
- the library. See the file VENDOR.DOC for details. This restriction
- does not affect your permission to place 4OS2 on the BBS as long as you
- are not charging a fee for its distribution (other than the usual user
- fees for general use of the board).
-
- If you want software which will allow you to "brand" 4OS2 for your BBS
- (when the user starts the program it will say "uploaded to [your BBS
- name]" in the signon message), send us a note and we will send it to you
- when version 1.0 of 4OS2 is released, along with a 4OS2 ZIP file de-
- signed for BBS upload. Please indicate whether you want 5.25" or 3.5"
- disks. If you already have a branded copy of 4DOS for your BBS, you do
- not need to request a copy of 4OS2 -- one will be sent to you automati-
- cally when version 1.0 is released.
