~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for Litecomm, Information
Technology, Ltd. authorizes on-line distribution only in
accordance with the following restrictions. Disk Vendors and
Distributors should refer to the VENDOR.DOC text file for
complete license information.
The Litecomm package is defined as containing all the material
listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the
PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are
missing, then the package is not complete and distribution is
forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a complete package

way (other than that mentioned in the following
paragraph) and must be distributed as a complete package,
without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a
list of all files that are part of the Litecomm package.
Many BBSs customarily add a small text file
(advertisement) to each archived file. This text file
describes the BBS and tells people that the file was
downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a
small one-line message with their BBS name and phone

number into the compressed file, which will display when
the file is uncompressed. Either of these methods of
mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used,
provided the program and documentation is unmodified and
complete.

BBS Update Program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They
get them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users,
etc. This is good because most authors cannot afford to mail
disks or upload files to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs
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 your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of
our products, directly from us, then please refer to the
information below. Due to the time and expense we are generally
unable to upload directly to a large number of Bulletin Board
Systems. However, we are able to mail updates on disk (in a
sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please
take advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you
can receive updates for an entire year for only $10 per program
(this helps to offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and
address of your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person
we may contact (preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program
(or programs) for which you would like to receive updates, and a
check or money order for $10 for each program (for countries
outside of North America please add an additional $10 per
program). Payment in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only,
please.
The BBS Update Program is available for the following products
(as of July, 1991):
LiteSPM Serial Port Monitor
LiteComm Communications ToolBox
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will
automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release while
their BBS Update Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
expenses in those cases where a BBS 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 BBS Update Program.
Please refer to DESCRIBE.DOC for our mailing address and phone
number. Thank you for your support!
