Distribution Requirements:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Limited Distribution License:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for ColorDOS, KroTek Electronics
authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions. Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the
VENDOR.DOC text file for complete license information.
The ColorDOS package is defined as containing all the material listed in
Appendix B of the COLORDOS.DOC text file. If any files listed in the
Appendix B, or the COLORDOS.DOC 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.
o The ColorDOS package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way (other than
that mentioned in the following paragraph) and must be
distributed as a complete package, without exception. Appendix A
of the COLORDOS.DOC text file contains a list of all files that
are part of the ColorDOS package.
o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to
each archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells
people that the file was downloaded from that particular BBS.
Other BBSs add a small one-line message with their BBS name and
BBS SYSOP Information Page 1 of 4
- ColorDOS, Version 1.50 - SYSOP.DOC -
phone number into the compressed file, which will display when
the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of mentioning
your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the program and
documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete.
o KroTek Electronics prohibits the distribution of outdated
versions of the ColorDOS package, without written permission from
KroTek Electronics. If the version you have obtained is over
twelve (12) months old, please contact us to ensure that you have
the most current version.

decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer

BBS Update Program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get
them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc. This
is good because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or upload files
to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs 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 your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below.
Due to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly
to a large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to
mail updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
advantage of our BBS 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 the name and address of
your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
(preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program (or programs) for which
you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10
for each program (for countries outside of North America please add an
additional $10 per program).
The BBS Update Program is available for the following products (as of
March, 1993):
ColorDOS
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will
automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release
while their BBS Update Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a BBS 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 BBS Update Program.
Thank you for your support!

- ColorDOS, Version 1.50 - SYSOP.DOC -
Please use the following discriptions for the ColorDOS package:
Filename: colord15.zip (or appropriate extension)
Short: (37 chars)
DOS prompt multi colorization utility
Long: (495 chars)
ColorDOS generates a unique prompt drive letter color and a different
text color for each drive in your system. Also, each subdirectory in the
prompt can have its own color. This gives instant visual recognition of
how many directories from the root directory you are and gives the
command line an extreamly pleasing appearance. All options are set using
an excellent setup program and load automatically. 4DOS compatible.
Outputs ansi.sys escape seq for different text color on each drive if
required.
