Vendor/Distributor Information Page 1 of 6
- Business Base, Version 1.1 - Vendor.DOC -
ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to
distribute Business Base package. Non-ASP member vendors must
request permission prior to distributing this package. See "Licensing
Agreement" below.
The Business Base package is defined as containing all the material
listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the
PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing, then
the package is not complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact
us to obtain a complete package suitable for distribution.
The Business Base package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed
as a complete package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file
contains a list of all files that are part of the Business Base
package.
Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation
batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the Business Base
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette,
shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed
US$10.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00 internationally.
Disk Sets & CD-ROMs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Business Base package CANNOT be sold as part of some other
inclusive package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software
packaging offer, without a written agreement from CQ Research Corp.
ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the Business Base
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 are met.
Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the
Business Base package as part of a collection (such as PsL's
MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from
CQ Research Corp. prior to beginning such a distribution.
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 twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that you
have the most current version. This version was released in February,
1993.
Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:

the following restrictions apply:
Vendor/Distributor Information Page 2 of 6
- Business Base, Version 1.1, Vendor.DOC -
ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given
permission to distribute the Business Base 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.
The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using
any means, without the written permission of CQ Research Corp. In other
words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED
(hardcopy) form.
The Business Base package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other
literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is
"Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
CQ Research Corp. prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the
Business Base package, without written permission from CQ Research Corp
If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please
contact us to ensure that you have the most current version. This version

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to
mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some
vendors prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you would
like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then please help
us to 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 per program (this helps to offset
our costs).
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 (or programs) for which you would like to
receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program
(Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
program).
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.
