- NOTE ON UPDATE POLICY FOR VENDORS:
-
- Ronin Software sends updates of this program to
- vendors through whom we have had any registrations
- in the preceding 3 months. We know where our
- registrations come from, thanks to a small file
- (VENDOR.ID) that contains the name of any vendor
- to whom we submit a copy. When a user prints out
- a registration form, it contains the vendor name
- from the VENDOR.ID file. If the VENDOR.ID file
- with the version of W$R you are distributing does
- not contain the name of your firm, we suggest
- you replace the file, using an ASCII text editor,
- to make a 1-line ASCII file containing your
- company's name.
