ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission
to distribute TakeNote package within the Shareable Area.
However, Rack Vending has ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS and vendors

the introductory or installation batch files used by many
shareware disk vendors, are acceptable.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the TakeNote
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the
diskette, shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk)
