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 US$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 US$10 for each program
(Countries outside of North America please add an additional US$10 per
program). Payment in U.S. or CANADIAN funds drawn on a U.S. or CANADIAN
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.
