VENDORS.TXT (C)1995 by DP_BYTER, proliferate freely. Librarians, shareware distributors, sysops, etc: This is release 0.53 of DEED PLOT. Please proliferate the information on this disk. Feel free to do so for free, or to charge a reasonable materials & copying fee (less than five bux). You may compress the files at your convenience, fill the empty space with other shareware or advertising, and distribute files or parts of files with other shareware. Your customers abhor a 1/2 empty disk! For an update, write or call. Your customers will appreciate a fresh version. If you don't give a about your customers, don't bother with the update. You won't be in business long enuf for me to reply. There are six groups of files. First is header files, such as "README, COPYRIGHT, REGISTRATION, WARRANTY". Second is executable files, such as DEEDPLT0, MSHERC, & HR. Third is support files, such as SHOOT_EM, YOURWARE, plus six EXAMPLEs. Fourth is RETIRE, some information about cheap land for sale here in the Kentucky Boonies, a good place to retire young or just have a vacation place. Fifth is FILLER, since Nature abhors a 1/2 empty disk. See DDPLT05_.DOX for a file by file description. Last is TAILER, files which should be at the end of the directory. I suggest that authors write short advertisements to be included on other disks, and that we leave room on our disks for advertising space. Your customers might be amused by MS_BAT. There's also SIY2LINR.BAS, a BASIC 2 liner for your collection. If you are dissatisfied with your mailers, then you should read MAILERS.TXT My mailers can easily ship a disk & cover letter for two ounces. I can even mail two disks for 2 oz, if I enclose nothing else.
