              - MakeDemo, Version 3 - 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 250 screens; 450 screens, typical, in up to
   100 files, on a 360 kByte disk.


Long Description:
-----------------

   MakeDemo version 3 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 version 3 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.

            - MakeDemo, Version 3 - 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 some dozen or so files for viewing or
   sending to a printer, in part or in whole, from within MakeDemo
   or ShowDemo.

   For registered users, in addition to receiving the latest
   version on disk, there's the instruction manual, and the key
   to free 1-800 telephone support: a validation number.

Restrictions listed above (beginning on page 4).

Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
-------------------------------------------------

If you would like to distribute the MakeDemo package as a

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, Version 3 - 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!
