XASCII Version 3.0 Handy Windows Help File with the WINDOWS ASCII Set Dear Shareware Vendor: This file contains our distribution policy and information on all our products. We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to distribute our shareware or freeware in its original, unaltered form as long as you 1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition) 2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place ....and as long as we do not request you to stop. You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution, and we do not want to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our mutual customer. If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales, please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that customers do not understand shareware. ASP, ESC, Walnut Creek, Simtel, Garbo, Winsite, SICS, PC-SIG, Washington State, STAR, Way Cool, Bongo, EMS, APCUG, PC-related periodical, and Night Owl collections are pre-authorized to include our programs on CD-ROM. This is our normal distribution sequence: 1. New versions are posted on CompuServe (use IBMFF with ID 70730,3001). 2. All ASP and ESC distribution members are included in the regular ASP and ESC CD-ROM. This saves us both time and money. If you are not an ASP vendor member or bulletin board member, please consider joining. If you work a lot with educational materials, consider joining the ESC (Educational Software Cooperative). 3. Since most Shareware vendors do not handle programming aids, we do not as a rule distribute programming aids otherwise. However, if you would like to be informed of updates of programming aids, please let the author know. We will try to upload them to Internet FTP sites that handle programming aids, so you may want to check with such sites or with the Archie file finding service. 4. We upload latest versions of our software (even with minor fixes that do not reflect version changes) to our Web Site.
