Dear ShareWare BBS SysOp:
This file contains our distribution policy and product
information.
Samkhya 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.
You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude
optional files (like this one -- but it's much better if you
include everything), and do essentially anything you want as long
as you follow these simple rules. We want the widest possible
distribution, and don't want to stand in your way so long as you
are honest with our mutual customer.
We suggest that you simply post the self-extracting archive
MPIK.EXE, as this will be simplest for your users. Otherwise,
you may extract it and package the component files with PKZIP.
Please try to include all the files in your distribution.
Normally, all these are distributed as a self-extracting (LHA)
archive since they total about 500k expanded, 180k compressed.
(The ZIP file is slightly larger than the LHA file *with* the
extraction routine, so we have opted for the LHA format.)
We have made every effort to be sure that our programs are free
from viruses. The development system is isolated and scanned
regularly for viruses with commercial anti-virus software.
However we have no control of what happens after the product
leaves our site and suggest that you check it carefully before
posting. If you suspect that you have a damaged, infected, or
hacked version, please contact us to receive a fresh, virgin copy
(for free).
The file FILE_ID.DIZ contains a concise description of the
program's features, and you are encouraged to use it.
The files that comprise the MacroPIK'r distribution are listed
here:
1. README.DOC 3. MPIK'R.EXE
2. MP-ORDER.FRM 4. MPIK'R.HLP
SYSOP.DOC page 2
5. MPQUICK.DOC 13. FLTWKS.MP
6. MPMANUAL.DOC 14. TUTOR3.MP
7. MPIKC.BAT 15. OUT.MP
8. MPIKM.BAT 16. SHARE.DOC
9. MPIKBW.BAT 17. VENDOR.DOC
10. MPIKB.BAT 18. SYSOP.DOC
11. MPIKD.BAT 19. FILE_ID.DIZ
12. CONVERT.MP
Our normal distribution sequence is:
1. New versions are offered to our registered users and are
automatically shipped to new registrants.
2. New versions are posted on CIS.
3. All ASP distribution members are included in the regular
ASP mailing. This saves both of us both 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 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. Since all program copies are serialized
by to whom they were originally sent, we are able to track
registrations by vendor. As long as we receive
registrations containing your number for any product, we
will continue to provide you with updates for all
products.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please
contact me:
