                   (ASP).

description: Corncob 3D ver 3.42 by MVP Software (ASP).  As you hear the scream
             of KLA homing devices that barely miss your wobbling Corsair, you
             know you're in for the fight of your life.  You check your
             altitude gauge, then steel yourself for another run at the enemy.
             This is part of the action in Corncob 3D, the best shareware air
             combat game ever.  Req VGA/SVGA and 286 or better.  Supports
             AdLib, SB, joystick.  Updated version.

Requirements: 286 or better, 570K free RAM, VGA/SVGA; joystick and Adlib/Sound
              Blaster optional.  $15 registration; $20 for Corncob Other Worlds
              Campaign.

Catalog vendors: Please include Corncob 3D in your printed and disk shareware
                 catalogs.  For best sales results use one of the above
                 descriptions.  In addition, all MVP product listings MUST
                 include the words "by MVP Software" or "an MVP Software
                 production."  This encourages repeat sales, which is good for
                 both of us.  The only exception to this is if the catalog has
                 a separate MVP Software section.  No vendor may charge a fee
                 of more than $10.00 for the shareware version of this product.
                 Vendors are encouraged to contact MVP Software directly to get
                 the latest version of the product and to be added to our
                 mailing list for direct mailings of updates & future releases.

RACKWARE VENDORS:
----------------
MVP Software has a policy on shareware rack vending to which all vendors
selling our shareware in a retail location MUST adhere.  No MVP Software
shareware product may be sold on shareware racks in any retail location
without prior written approval from MVP Software.  This policy affects Corncob
3D, plus all other MVP products.  Many of our shareware products are also sold
in retail versions.  We do not want our shareware versions to undermine these
sales.  Thanks for your understanding.

All MVP shareware products may be sold via catalogs, mail order, telephone
orders, flea markets, computer clubs, and any other method that does not
involve sales in retail locations.

We will give permission to rack vendors to sell our products in retail
locations only if the following conditions are met: (1) The vendor must pay
MVP Software a royalty on all copies sold in retail locations.  This does not
include any other type of shareware sales.  Suggested royalty is 10 cents per
copy sold.  (2) The vendor must provide reports to MVP Software not less than
quarterly of all rack sales minus returns.

Rack vendors meeting the above conditions must still receive written
authorization from MVP Software to distribute our products on shareware racks.
Permission may not be given in all cases; the decision will be on a case-by-
case basis, and we usually will want to inspect the packaging before granting
distribution permission.

I apologize to those rack vendors to whom these requirements seem onerous.
However, this is the only way we can control how our products get distributed
to make sure we have both a return on our investment and a reasonable chance
at getting a registration.

We really appreciate the distribution that vendors give us.  And we will con-
tinue to work with vendors to make both of our businesses prosper.  Thanks for
your understanding of why this step is necessary.

And just to be clear: the above requirements do NOT apply to catalog sales.
