It is suggested that you make the following information available to your 
callers via a standard public bulletin. We recommend that they be available 
from your "BULLETINS" menu selection. We also recommend that you include the 
text contained in the file SHAREW.TXT so that your caller can have a full 
understanding of shareware.

You should NOT have any messages or bulletins stating "Please don't upload any 
copyrighted software" or having any similar mis-conceptions of shareware. 
Shareware *IS* copyrighted software that is freely distributable with the 
author's specific expressed permission.

If you wish to use this text "as is" please edit out this portion, and use 
only the portion below the dashed line.

    Much of the software available for downloading from this BBS is
    shareware. These systems require a payment to the author if found
    useful.

    Some shareware systems are produced by members of the Association of
    Shareware Professionals (ASP).  The authors of these systems have
    promised to meet the association's standard of program quality and
    customer support.

    ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you.  If
    you are unable to resolve a shareware related problem with an ASP member
    by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The ASP
    Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member,
    but does not provide technical support for members' products.  Please
    write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI USA 
    49442-9427, FAX 616-788-2765, or send a Compuserve mail message to ASP 
    Ombudsman 70007,3536

    Those systems that are produced by ASP members are identified in the
    file listings of this BBS by the symbol <ASP> (substitute as necessary).
