Dear Shareware Vendor: This file contains our distribution policy and information on all products. Open Windows has a simple distribution policy: You have permission to distribute our shareware in its original form as long as you: * identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition) * leave all intellectual property (copyright) notices in place ..and as long as we do not request that you stop. That's it. We want the widest possible distribution, and don't want to stand in your way as long as you are honest with our mutual customer. You may rearchive or unarchive our programs but please do NOT change the compression method of the internal .XX_ files. They have been archived with Microsoft's COMPRESS.EXE and MUST remain in this format in order for the included installation program to work correctly. The following 10 files MUST be included in the distribution: WINUPD40.EX_, WINUPD40.HL_, REGISTER.TX_, HELPFILE.WR_, BWCC.DL_, FILE_ID.DIZ, VENDINFO.DIZ, VENDOR.TXT, README.TXT and SETUPWU.EXE Our normal distribution sequence is: 1 New versions are offered to our registered users and are automatically shipped to new users registering an out-of-date copy. 2 New versions are posted on CIS in the WINSHARE forum and America Online in the Windows forum. 3 ASP distribution members are included in the regular ASP CD-ROM mailing. This saves both of us money and effort; if you are not an ASP vendor or bulletin board member, please consider joining. 4 Then, we send copies of major revisions of software to non-ASP vendors who have notified us of their interest. If you are a catalog house, send us a copy of the catalog in which the program appears, together with a copy of the diskette(s) containing the program(s) you wish to distribute; we will send you a copy of any major updates to our software. If you run a bulletin board, send us a diskette(s) containing the program(s) you wish to distribute, and your mailing address, and we will update the diskette and mail it back to you. If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me: Dick Bryant Open Windows P.O.
