OsoSoft Shareware Programs -- VENDOR INFORMATION
Introduction
The files in the OSOSOFT directory on this CD-ROM are the
latest versions of several DOS and Windows 3.1 programs from
OsoSoft. These files replace all previous versions of the same
programs.
Copyright Information
All OsoSoft programs, shareware and freeware, are protected under
the copyright laws of the United States and foreign countries. All
rights are reserved to OsoSoft and George Campbell. Violations of
copyright laws are investigated by the FBI. Distribution of
OsoSoft products implies that you have read and agreed to the
distribution terms described below. OsoSoft makes test orders from
time to time to verify compliance with its distribution terms.
Distributor Information and License Information
The license information and distribution requirements in this
document supercede all previous license statements. To continue
to distribute OsoSoft products, you must adhere to the licensing
and distribution requirements below.
If you are a catalog-type mail order or BBS-type distributor of
shareware software, you may distribute these programs as they
are, without any changes other than expanding files contained
in the ZIP archives. However, you have a responsibility to
check from time to time, at a minimum interval of 6 months, for
new versions of these programs, and to update your copies in a
timely manner. OsoSoft will gladly send you a diskette
containing the current versions on request, or you may download
current versions from the OsoSoft BBS at the number listed
below.
You may not distribute any OsoSoft program as part of any
commercial program or in conjunction with any collection of
software of any kind without express written permission from
OsoSoft. Special licenses are required for any bundling of
OsoSoft products, whether freeware or shareware, with any other
software or hardware. This does not prohibit including OsoSoft
programs on individual disks containing other,
clearly identified, shareware programs. However, it does
prohibit including OsoSoft programs on multiple-diskette
collections which include programs from other publishers, but sold
at a single price.
You must fully identify all OsoSoft programs in your advertising,
by the program's full name and version, and indicate the
registration fee in the program description. The word OsoSoft must
appear in all program descriptions.
Within 30 days of the reciept of this disk, you must replace all
older versions of all programs contained on this disk. You may not
distribute older versions of OsoSoft programs under any
circumstances after that period. Please check your catalog for
previous versions of these programs and replace them with the
current version.
Shareware Disclosure Required
All advertising and packaging information including references to
OsoSoft products must contain a statement explaining the shareware
concept. Specifically, that statement must explain that shareware
software MUST be registered by the user, after a trial period, by
paying a registration fee, and that all monies paid for the
shareware version are duplication and distribution charges only.
The declaration specified by the Association of Shareware
Professionals is a good model. All such statements must be
clearly displayed in a position where they are likely to be read
by potential customers.
Retail Rack and CD-ROM Distribution
If you distribute shareware in a retail setting in racks, store
displays, vending machines, at computer fairs, or in any way
other than normal BBS or catalog-based sales, you must contact
OsoSoft for permission to distribute any OsoSoft program. Rack or
retail-like sales require a special distribution license,
normally requiring royalties paid to OsoSoft. If you distribute
shareware on CD-ROM disks, you must also contact OsoSoft before
including any OsoSoft shareware program on a CD-ROM disk.
Normally, permission is granted, but current versions must be
included and all old versions of any OsoSoft program removed from
any CD-ROM disk containing OsoSoft products.
VBRUN200.DLL
All Windows 3.1 programs on this diskette require the
VBRUN200.DLL library from Microsoft Visual Basic 2.0. That file
is part of the distribution package for all OsoSoft programs for
MicroSoft Windows. If you distribute these programs, you MUST
make this file readily available to your customers, either on the
diskette containing any OsoSoft program requiring that file, or
in another way convenient to the end user. By convenient, OsoSoft
means that no user should have to purchase another diskette to
try any OsoSoft program.
INSTALLATION FROM CD-ROM DISKETTE
OsoSoft programs for Windows cannot be run from this CD-ROM
disk, but must be installed on a hard disk using the
instructions in each program's manual. Since each program
writes data into its own directory, attempts to run the program
from the CD-ROM disk will cause an error.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
You can find descriptions of major OsoSoft programs on this
disk in the PROGINFO.TXT or PROGINFO.WRI files, and in the
brochure enclosed. You may use these descriptions, editing them
to the length required for your marketing efforts. However, you
MUST include the word OsoSoft, the program name, version
number, and system requirements information with all
descriptions to avoid customer confusion.
NOTE: You may NOT include the voice telephone number for OsoSoft
in any materials used in your catalog or on disks containing
shareware versions of OsoSoft programs. Voice support is
available ONLY for REGISTERED users.
