                           Version 5


          HANDS ON Remote Access is an ASP member Shareware product.

          Last updated:  February, 1995


          This file provides information for Shareware Distributors,
          Disk Vendors BBS sysops and Computer Clubs who wish to
          distribute the Hands On remote access package.

          This is yet another EASY UP AND RUNNING release for Hands On.
          It is easier to "get going" than previous releases.  Try it.

          Please, if you are an ASP member vendor tell us that you are
          carrying the product.  Please just tell us when and how, you
          don't have to ask again.

          For sample descriptions which you may use to describe the
          product please refer to the Introduction in the HANDS ON
          HO.txt text file.  The README.txt has a file listing with
          descriptions.  The FILE_ID.DIZ has an abbreviated BBS oriented
          description.  Of course if you find vendinfo information, you
          might use it to get the information that you need.

          Portions of the Hands On distribution actually alter other
          .exes in the distribution.  This sharply reduces RAM memory
          usage and .EXE file size while increasing speed, but you may
          find virus checkers that go bonkers.  Also, if you pklite or
          diet the .EXE's to make them smaller, you will be destroying
          vital configuration information in the individual .EXE.

          Please note that over 95% of our support calls, between July
          and September 1994 (after the initial widespread release of
          version 5.00) involve people who have incomplete copies of
          Hands On, primarily from BBS's.  We have reduced the default
          BBS distribution in an attempt to reduce any arbitrary file
          shuffling.  There is now an 'extra's file HO5X.ZIP for the BBS
          distribution.  Or you can glom onto a full copy from a disk
          vendor, and some BBS's.

          Computer Clubs and User Groups wishing to add the product to
          their disk library may do so in accordance with the
          Distribution Restrictions listed below.

          ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given
          permission to distribute the product.  Please notify P. C.

          Softsmith if you are distributing the product.  Don't ask just
          inform us, preferably over the internet.  Its a good idea to
          include the version number, just in case you obtained old
          stock.  Of course we can send you updates directly if we know
          that you carry a product.

          Other Vendors:  P.C. Softsmith policy is that its products may
          be carried by any vendor that meets or exceeds ASP standards.
          If you 'protect' your customers and software authors to
          ASP-like standards you have permission to carry P.C. Softsmith
          products.  Please inform us if you carry our products.

          The complete list of included files is changing with ongoing
          additions and options.  If you perceive that the set that you
          have 'in hand' is incomplete, please contact us to obtain more
          material and/or complete product suitable for use and
          distribution.

          Additions to the product, such as any product that uses Hands
          On for optional support are welcome.  You may distribute core
          portions of Hands On with its documentation along with your
          product or products that you perceive can benefit from shared
          distribution and use.

          No price or other compensation may be charged for selling the
          product without prior arrangement.  However, a distribution
          fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette, shipping and
          handling, as long as the total (per disk) meets industry
          norms.


          You may not list any of our products as "Free software", "PD
          software", or "Public Domain Software".  Shareware is
          "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.

          Please try to avoid distributing outdated software.
          Vigourously hassle us if necessary.


          Thank you
