- Dear Shareware Vendor....
-
- Welcome to the 14th (September 30, 1995) edition of the JCS Distribution
- Author to Vendor (A2V) CD-ROM!
-
- We have been so active processing new and updated programs (135 programs,
- the work of 49 authors), we have not changed features in this edition.
-
- We have also implemented jcsm.com, our internet home. Stop in and see us!
-
- To keep the size of this file at a minimum, other files are available in the
- main directory:
-
- REQFIXES.TXT - Requests for features/fixes. We will review each
- of these and get them to the NEWFEATS,TXT as soon as
- possible.
- BESTOF.TXT - Description of our spin-off, for sale to end users,
- "Best of the Author to Vendor".
- CLASSDIR.TXT - Roadmap to our new directory structure
-
- The CD-ROM contains:
-
- a) Class subdirectories, which contain FILES.BBS and LFILES.BBS files (and
- now FILES.PCB and LFILES.PCB files for those who need the date format
- with "-", rather than "/") for those who wish to directly mount the
- CD-ROM. Of interest, the main directory also contains a FILES and
- LFILES directory for your convenience. For those wanting a single
- file directory, an ALLFILES.TXT and a LNGFILES.TXT file is also available.
-
- LAST ISSUE, we have renamed all of our directories. See CLASSDIR.TXT
- for details.
-
-
- b) A file access routine for disk vendors and user's groups. If an author
- has included a version for vendors, and another for BBSs, the access
- routine now allows the user to UNZIP the appropriate version.
-
- c) As a courtesy to the Author, and for the convenience of the using
- vendor, we have included various SCREEN SHOTS
- supplied by the author. These files are available for UNZIPPING and
- use as the user sees fit. They are most easily accessed thru the
- access routine JCSD.EXE
-
- d) A directory "VBRUN" which contains all three VBRUNXXX files required by
- some windows programs.
-
- e) To accomodate those vendors who are also authors, we have published a
- set of files in the Business catagory called
- "2300+ Shareware Vendors". The files contain the addresses of over 2300
- vendors to whom we have sent a CD for at least one of the last 3 issues.
- It also contains data on how to send programs to us for publication in
- the A2V.
-
-
-
- To use the CD-ROM, two options are available......
-
- 1. Simply run from the CD-ROM, as is, by:
-
- a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
-
- b: Execute the program JCSD.
-
- c: Follow the prompts.
-
- 2. Install the programs and files to your hard disk directories by:
-
- a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
-
- b: type INSTALL x y where:
-
- x is the hard drive to which you want to install.
- y is the drive code of your CD-ROM drive.
-
- NOTE: DO NOT include the ":" with the drive letters
-
- example: INSTALL C F
- will install the files to the C: drive from the F: drive.
-
- a subdirectory \JCSD will be created and about 5.0 mb
- copied to it. You will be left in the directory created.
-
- c: Execute JCSD
-
- d: At later points, to execute the program, CD \JCSD, and
- execute JCSD.
-
- Enjoy the programs, and explain to your customers the requirement to
- register the programs found useful! The authors whose works are
- contained have paid for the distribution service, and appreciate your
- efforts to get their shareware into the hands of individuals who will
- register the programs.
-
- Each of the next issues of the A2V will be accumulative, with the previous
- issue used as the basis for the new issue. New programs will be added,
- and updates will replace previous versions.
