Dear Sysop,

        We at Bottom Line Software appreciate your efforts.  You perform
        an enormous amount of work, provide a valuable service,  and
        receive very little thanks.

        Bottom Line Software publishes business related software, mostly
        related to loans and lending.  Most of this software is
        distributed as shareware.

        We distribute two different shareware versions.  The normal
        version is distributed on disks with a completely automated,
        menu driven system to install the software and to print the
        manual.  The archive version distributed on BBS's deletes this
        system to save disk space on the BBS and to reduce telephone time.

        We believe that anyone who is computer literate enough to sign
        on, download an archive file and unarchive it can print a text
        file and copy files around with no help from us. If you
        dissagree, we would like to hear from you.

        You are hereby authorized to post this archive on any public or
        private bulletin board.  If you would prefer to have the version
        with the auto install and manual print program, we would be
        happy to send you a copy free of charge.  Send a business card
        or letterhead if you have one.  If not, indicate the name and
        version number of your BBS software and the phone number.

        You will find a file called who_uses. This file will breifly
        describe the product. It tells who uses it, why, and what does
        it do.
