Dear Shareware Author,
Let me take a moment of your time to introduce two distribution
methods we offer to Shareware Authors. Shareable Software International
is a Publisher Member of the ASP, and markets Flexibak PLUS - Hard Disk
Backup, ActaeOn - Hard Disk Manager, SmartCat - Windows Floppy Disk
Cataloger, Stellar Defense - Space Action Arcade Game, and others. In
our efforts to gain the widest possible distribution for our products,
we upload to over 140 BBSs (non-ASP) and mail disks to the growing number
(330+) of ASP BBS members. We would like to offer you the opportunity
to cut your distribution costs, by using our services.
The cost to participate in the ASP BBS Mailing is $.20 per 100k
increment of your archived program. You must include a FILE_ID.DIZ in
your archive. This is an ASCII file, 45 characters per line, maximum of
10 lines. We also recommend including a version number in your archive
name, ie. FLEXP250.ZIP (Flexibak Plus, v2.50), SC11.ZIP (SmartCat v1.1),
etc. We also recommend getting the "meat" of your archive description,
to include version number, in the first 4 lines of the FILE_ID.DIZ, as
some BBSs only allow 4 line descriptions, but, use all 10 lines if you
can. We require a deposit for 300 BBSs, and we will invoice you for the
rest, as the number changes every month. The is an all or nothing option.
When completed, you will be sent an invoice and a listing that includes
the name, address, and BBS modem number of where your file was sent. We
WILL be combining the archives onto one or more disks. The frequency
is every two weeks, and the cutoff for each mailing is 5 days prior to
the mailing. The dates will be the 15th and 30th of the month, allowing
+ or - two days for weekends if needed.
The cost for the upload service is $.50 for the first 70k, and $.25
for each additional 70k, per BBS. These are BBSs that are NOT ASP BBS
members, so we do not overlap with the mailing service. There is also
an additional $5.00 set up fee. We can also post a "Just Released" type of
message on most of the systems we upload to. The cost for message uploading
is $.25 per BBS. We require a deposit for the first 100 BBSs. We will
invoice you for the number exceeding 100, and for the message uploading
if you choose it. The message text should be no longer than 70 characters
per line, and 10 lines maximum. This message should be on the disk
outside of the archive. Make sure to include the FILE_ID.DIZ in your
archive here too. Frequency of the BBS uploading is constant. Once we
get your disk, the upload will begin within three days, and be completed
within 10 days. Once completed, we will send you an invoice, and the BBS
name and modem number, sorted by area code, of where your file was
uploaded to. You can expect your list within approximately 2 weeks of
our getting your disk.
Feel free to call me (708-397-1221) with any questions or suggestions
on our services. There is an order form included for your convenience.
If you wish to pay with Mastercard or VISA, there will be a 3% surcharge
added. If you want to use plastic, you can upload your file to Runway BBS,
Conference 77, (215-623-6203) and drop me a note with your info, and we
will get started right away.
Speaking of Runway BBS...we have been using Runway for our Support
BBS (we have our own conference, free first time downloads, etc.) for 2
years and highly recommend it. Give it a call and look around, 215-623-6203,
I think you will find it one of the best run BBSs around! Ray Novino
is the Sysop, and the BBS is up to 15 nodes and growing. Ray is happy to
offer support conferences to Shareware Authors (for a fee of course), and
makes it worth your while. Ray's voice number is 215-623-2857, give
him a call!
Sincerely,
SIGNED
Bill Dickson
President
