WinAlter Version 2.1 Alter Date, Time, and File Attributes without Leaving Windows Dear Shareware Vendor: 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: James Bair P.O.
