- mention it in your request for distribution.
-
- Vendors may only distribute the "Shareware Version" disks. These
- disks are created specifically for disk vendors, BBS distribution,
- clubs, and resellers. They can usually be identified by the words
- "Shareware Version" on the initial opening screen, and/or a Shareware
- message on the last screen. Please note, these are NOT crippled
- versions of the program. The ONLY difference between the "Shareware
- Version" disks and the fully registered version are the Shareware
- encouragement screens and messages.

-
- You may distribute PC-FasType products on the following terms:
-
- - PC-FasType products, when listed in vendors' catalogs,

- - PC-FasType/CGA in particular, when listed in vendor's catalogs,

- brochures, mailers, etc. may optionally state it is the MONOCHROME
- version of PC-FasType/CGA and will run on a PC equipped with ANY
- kind of monitor.

- inclusive package without a license from Trendtech Corporation.

-
- VENDOR STANDARDS:
-
- The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary is
- just that, a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the
- entire set of ASP standards.
-
-
- Advertising:
-
- All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware
- programs require separate payment to authors if found useful." This
-
-
-
- statement must immediately follow the price or be tied to the price
- via an asterisk.
-
-
- Catalogs:
-
- Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware.
- The following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
-
- - The fee paid to the vendor is a copying and distribution charge
- and does not cover the cost of the program itself.
-
- - If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is
- expected to send the registration fee to the author.
-
- - Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits
- (depending on the author). These range from the legal right to
- continue using the software, to printed documentation and/or
- higher levels of service.
-
-
- Distribution:
-
- - Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution
- restrictions made by individual authors, usually found in the
- file VENDOR.DOC [this file] on the disk.
-
- - Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts
- above with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are pre-
- packaged, the notice must be on a visible part of the package.
-
- - Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the
- program unless authorized by the author. Small additions
- designed to assist the user may be added if the author does not
- specifically prohibit such action.
-
- - Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier
- versions, if requested by the author.
-
- Again, the above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In
- order to distribute PC-FasType products you must agree to abide by
- these standards whether you are an ASP member or not. If you are
- interested in becoming an ASP-approved vendor, please contact:
-
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- Vendor Certification Committee
- P.O. Box 5786
- Bellevue, WA 98006
-
-
- We strongly recommend you consider becoming an ASP approved
- vendor if you have not already done so. The ASP vendor member program
- reduces the workload for both authors and vendors alike, and helps
-
-
-
- give customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
- distribution of Shareware products.
-
- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-
- To those organizations given permission to distribute PC-FasType
- products, Trendtech Corporation will forward a Vendor Master
- Distribution disk. Automatic updates will be provided to
- organizations when registrations can be traced to that organization.
- Updates will be offered to other approved organizations on a case-by-
- case basis.
