Verbal Vanquish is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
all features of the program, and is not crippled in any way. You may

details). If you like the program, and wish to continue its use after
this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program (see
Order form for more details). Any fee you may have paid to others
(disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this evaluation version was a
fee for their copying and distribution services, rather than a payment
for continued use of the program.

=======What Others Have Said about Verbal Vanquish===================

simple drill routine, like many math programs. VERBAL VANQUISH, however,
is much better than that....It's a good deal."

High School English Teacher, Georgia
"VERBAL VANQUISH is one of the best SAT preparation programs I have seen.
No, it was the best!"
"One of my kids went from 540 to 670 English; Other went from 590 English
to 710 using these software programs."

Distribution requirements (from VENDOR.TXT file):
This file contains our distribution policy and information on all our
products. We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to
distribute our shareware in its original, unaltered form as long as you
1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)
2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place
....and as long as we do not request you to stop.
You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional
files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on
the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you
respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you
may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution,
and we do not want to stand in your way so long as you are honest with
our mutual customer.
If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales,
please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that
customers do not understand shareware. ASP, ESC, Walnut Creek, Simtel,
Garbo, Winsite, SICS, PC-SIG, Washington State, STAR, Way Cool, Bongo,
EMS, APCUG, PC-related periodical, and Night Owl collections are
pre-authorized to include our programs on CD-ROM.
This is our normal distribution sequence:
1. New versions are offered to our registered users and distributed to
all users who have registered within a year of the release date.
2. New versions are posted on CompuServe (use IBMFF with ID 70730,3001).
3. New versions are released through SDNet. If you have a BBS and
do not belong to SDNet, please consider joining this international
network.
4. All ASP and ESC distribution members are included in the regular ASP
and ESC CD-ROM. This saves us both time and money. If you are not an
ASP vendor member or bulletin board member, please consider joining.
If you work a lot with educational materials, consider joining the ESC
(Educational Software Cooperative).
5. We also send copies of major revisions of our software to vendors and
bulletin boards who have notified us of their interest. If you are
a catalog house, please send us a catalog or copy of your distribution
diskette. We will be glad to keep you updated. We also provide
updates to all distributors who are named by registered users as their
source. If you are on the ASP, ESC, or SDN distributions, this may not
be necessary and would save both of us a little time.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me:
