Introduction for Excel Progs Excel Progs is a small yet rapidly growing shareware development organization whose members combined have decades of experience in the computer industry.

How to Become a Distributor Site Excel Progs is looking for more bulletin boards and information services to serve as distributor sites. This works well for both parties: Excel Progs is able to send its software to a larger audience, and your service has more to advertise about. Your users know that the latest in Excel Progs utilities, songs, and games can be found first on your service. Excel Progs is accepting applications on the basis of "first come, first serve." There will be one distributor site per county. A "county" is described in this text as a place which holds a telephone connection to your service for the public (i.e., if you have a service in Knox County (Knoxville, TN) which has an Anderson County (Oak Ridge, TN) connect line open only to members, your site will be considered to be an Knox Co. site ONLY. If the line becomes public and no site has already appeared in Anderson Co., you will be considered to be a site for both counties. Excel Progs shall have the sole task of determining whether two or more services are considered "too close" to both become distribution sites. We are asking for services that have been up for at least a year, show promise of being up for much longer, and have potential for growth. If your service goes down for a small period of time you will retain your site number when you return; in cases of serious down-time the site number may be awarded to someone else. Thus, it is imperative that if your service goes down for a time greater than a month or if it is to go down permanently that you immediately contact Andrew Malek of Excel Progs. We are looking for "family" services. Note that this does not mean exclusively religious services, just those that don't cater exclusively to adult users. This also does not exclude services that responsibly have adult sections hidden to the general public. We are looking for public domain/shareware/freeware/post-cardware/ ..etc services ONLY! If you are a pirate site or hold ANY pirate files, then we appreciate you not applying. Please note that the question "Are you PD/Shareware ONLY?" may be somewhat misleading. The question is there to verify that only bulletin boards with public domain/shareware/freeware software are allowed to become distribution sites. Some bulletin boards allow software to be purchased and downloaded online; thus, that software is purchased and not free, but is purchased legally and would not change an otherwise "YES" answer to "NO." Excel Progs is currently an organization, not an official business. In the event Excel Progs formally is established as a business, your distributor site numbers shall be transfered in the proper ways, if necessary. As a distributor site, you need to keep up with the newest Excel Progs products. We ask that you call Idaho Interactive BBS at least once every 3-6 months, and, if you wish, in the meantime, acquire all Excel Progs products at your convenience from sources such as CompuServe (C) and Internet FTP sites, where they are uploaded on a semi-regular basis (Feel free to call Idaho Interactive as often as you wish...the 3-6 months is only a suggestion for software acquisition). If you run Major BBS with Majornet, we ask that you take the official support forum (mentioned later in this file). We also ask all sites to mention that they are a support board in opening screens, bulletins, advertisements,..etc, if possible. Regarding Idaho Interactive BBS, you will receive an account and password regarding your formal confirmation (when you receive postal or e-mail regarding the confirmation). ALL Excel Progs files shall be on Idaho Interactive BBS in the file area EXCEPROG. Just type L F S EXCELPROGS to access the files. Type F S EXCEPROG to access the forum area. You may download individual files or download the entire batch as the EPALLx.ZIP files (all such downloads are free from time restrictions!) If for some unknown reason Idaho Interactive ceases to exist, Excel Progs will try all possible routes of establishing a new home board or new methods of distributing its files. To apply, simply print and fill out the form located near the end of this text and mail to the address specified. Or, fill it out electronically and send it via Internet electronic mail. Upon approval, you shall receive in the coming weeks your confirmation letter, number, and other information Excel Progs feels appropriate. IV.
