Limited Distribution License:
-----------------------------
As the exclusive copyright holder for FILENOTE, Basic Solutions
authorizes distribution only in accordance with the following restrictions.
ASP Approved Vendors in good standing are hereby given permission to
distribute FILENOTE package. Non-ASP member vendors may distribute
FILENOTE if they give FULL DISCLOSURE.
The FILENOTE package is defined as containing all the material listed
in the FNPACK.LST text file. If any files listed in the FNPACK.LST text
file, or the FNPACK.LST file itself, are missing, then the package is not
complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact Basic Solutions
us to obtain a complete package suitable for distribution.
The FILENOTE package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be distributed
as a complete package, without exception. The FNPACK.LST text file
contains a list of all files that are part of the FILENOTE package.
Small additions to the package, such as the introductory or installation
batch files used by many shareware disk vendors, are acceptable.
No price or other compensation may be charged for the FILENOTE
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the diskette,
shipping and handling, as long as the total (per disk) does not exceed
US $8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US $12.00 internationally.
Disk Sets & CD-ROMs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The FILENOTE package CANNOT be sold as part of some other inclusive
package. Nor can it be included in any commercial software packaging
offer, without a written agreement from Basic Solutions.
ASP Approved Vendors who wish to distribute the FILENOTE package
as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk set, or a CD-ROM
package) may do so provided that all the other restrictions are met.
Vendors (non-ASP Vendor Members) who wish to distribute the
FILENOTE package as part of a collection (such as PsL's MegaDisk
set, or a CD-ROM package) must obtain permission from Basic Solutions
prior to beginning such a distribution.
If you wish to add any of our programs to a CD-ROM or other collection,
please check the release date of the version you have. If the version
is over twelve (12) months old then please contact us to ensure that you
have the most current version. This version was released in July, 1994.
Disk-of-the-Month (or Subscription) Distribution:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you would like to distribute the FILENOTE package as a Disk-of-
the-Month, or as part of a subscription or monthly service, then the
following restrictions apply:
ASP Associate (Disk Vendor) Members in good standing are hereby given
permission to distribute the FILENOTE package under the Disk-of-
the-Month style of distribution.
Others (non-ASP Members) must contact us in advance to ensure that you
have the most current version of the software.
You cannot use a Disk-of-the-Month distribution to use up your inventory
of old (out of date) disks. Only current versions may be shipped as
Disk-of-the-Month disks.
The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in part, using
any means, without the written permission of Basic Solutions. In other
words, the disk-based documentation may not be distributed in PRINTED
(hardcopy) form.
The FILENOTE package cannot be "rented" or "leased" to others.
You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs, or other
literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is
"Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
Basic Solutions prohibits the distribution of outdated versions of the
FILENOTE package, without written permission from Basic Solutions.
If the version you have is over twelve (12) months old, please contact us
to ensure that you have the most current version. This version was
released in July, 1994.
Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile,
disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or transfer the licensed program
except as provided in this agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall
result in immediate and automatic termination of this license.

other information you print or distribute regarding the FILENOTE
package. Thank you for your time and assistance and for supporting the
shareware marketing concept.
Please refer to DESCRIBB.DOC for our mailing address and phone number.
Thank you for your support!
Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford to
mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some
vendors prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you would
like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then please help
us to cover the cost.
If you are NOT an ASP Approved Vendor (in good standing), but you would
still like to receive automatic updates directly from us, then please take
advantage of our Vendor Update Program. Under this program you can receive
updates for an entire year for only $10 per program (this helps to offset
our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company name,
mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as your
disk librarian), the program (or programs) for which you would like to
receive updates, and a check or money order for $10 for each program
(Countries outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only please.
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor Update
Program is in effect.
NOTE: ASP Associate Members automatically receive free updates and do not
need to apply for the Vendor Update Program. This is yet another
advantage to being an ASP Associate Member.
The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the program directly from us.
If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
to use our Vendor Update Program.
