4OS2 BBS Sysop Documentation
Version 0.95 (pre-release) -- March 27, 1992

This file provides information for bulletin board sysops on the distri-
bution of 4OS2 via BBS systems.
This is a pre-release version of 4OS2. For more details on this version
and the schedule for final release of 4OS2, see README.DOC.
We do explicitly permit uploads of the shareware version of 4OS2 to BBS
systems. (Obviously uploads of the registered version are not permit-
ted).
If your BBS is associated with a shareware library which distributes
disks for a fee, you must meet our requirements BEFORE placing 4OS2 in
the library. See the file VENDOR.DOC for details. This restriction
does not affect your permission to place 4OS2 on the BBS as long as you
are not charging a fee for its distribution (other than the usual user
fees for general use of the board).
If you want software which will allow you to "brand" 4OS2 for your BBS
(when the user starts the program it will say "uploaded to [your BBS
name]" in the signon message), send us a note and we will send it to you
when version 1.0 of 4OS2 is released, along with a 4OS2 ZIP file de-
signed for BBS upload. Please indicate whether you want 5.25" or 3.5"
disks. If you already have a branded copy of 4DOS for your BBS, you do
not need to request a copy of 4OS2 -- one will be sent to you automati-
cally when version 1.0 is released.
