The copying restrictions listed in this file apply to any
individual, organization, user group, or business that charges ANY fee
for the distribution of the Shareware versions of the PC-FasType
products produced by Trendtech Corporation. PC-FasType products and
their associated typing exercise files, documentation, and help files
are NOT in the public domain. PC-FasType is registered with the U.S.
Copyright Office and is owned by Trendtech Corporation, Inc., Wayne,
New Jersey, U.S.A., the copyright holder. PC-FasType is a trademark
of Trendtech Corporation, Inc. Distribution restriction rights are
claimed under that copyright and are outlined below.
- No organization may sell the Shareware versions of PC-FasType
products without prior written permission from Trendtech
Corporation, Inc. To apply for such permission send a written
request to:
Trendtech Corporation
PC-FasType Distribution
P.O. Box 3687
Wayne, New Jersey 07474-3687
U.S.A.
Vendor standards expected of distributors will be forwarded for
your examination and agreement. These standards are summarized in
this file. The vendor standards are based on those established for
vendor associate members of the Association of Shareware
Professionals. ASP vendor members will always be granted permission
to distribute PC-FasType. If you are already a member of ASP, please
mention it in your request for distribution.
Vendors may only distribute the "Shareware Version" disks. These
disks are created specifically for disk vendors, BBS distribution,
clubs, and resellers. They can usually be identified by the words
"Shareware Version" on the initial opening screen, and/or a Shareware
message on the last screen. Please note, these are NOT crippled
versions of the program. The ONLY difference between the "Shareware
Version" disks and the fully registered version are the Shareware
encouragement screens and messages.
You may distribute PC-FasType products on the following terms:
- PC-FasType products, when listed in vendors' catalogs,
advertisements, brochures, mailers, etc. must be named "PC-FasType"
and not some other pseudonym like "Typing Tutor", "Touchtype",
"Typing Teacher", or just "Fastype". Use of any other name than
"PC-FasType" will constitute cause for revocation of vendor's
distribution rights.
Suggested name:
PC-FasType/VGA - Typing Tutorial
- PC-FasType/VGA in particular, when listed in vendor's catalogs,
advertisements, brochures, mailers, etc. must include the
requirement for VGA graphics, usually expressed as "requires VGA".
- PC-FasType products may NOT be sold as part of some other more
inclusive package without a license from Trendtech Corporation.
- PC-FasType products must not be distributed with other Shareware or
public domain programs on the same floppy disk without permission
from Trendtech Corp. However, PC-FasType/VGA may be included in
shareware collections sold on CD-ROM disks.
- Printed copies of the exercise files and User Guide may not be
distributed in any form without a license from Trendtech
Corporation.
- The PC-FasType/VGA package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way and must be
distributed as a complete package, without exception.
- No price or other compensation may be charged for the PC-FasType/VGA
package. A reasonable distribution cost may be charged for the cost
of the diskette plus shipping and handling.
- The PC-FasType/VGA package CANNOT be sold as part of some other
inclusive package, nor can it be included in any commercial software
packaging offer, without a written agreement from Trendtech
Corporation. Under no conditions will PC-FasType products be
"rented" or leased to others.
- Any distribution of PC-FasType products over bulletin boards and/or
national telecommunication services will be limited to distributing
a single archived file containing the contents of the entire
distribution disk and NO charge above the standard charge for
connect time will be allowed. See SYSOP.DOC for more information.
- This disk replaces ALL previous CGA versions. All vendors who
received this update directly from the author or from an ASP team
mailing have ninety (90) days to discontinue distributing older CGA
versions.
- No vendor can sell registered packages to end-users without written
permission from Trendtech Corporation.
REGISTRATION:
The SINGLE-USER Registration Fee for PC-FasType/VGA is $25.00 in
U.S. Funds. Shipping and Handling is an additional $3.00 for domestic
customers, $5.00 for Canada customers, and $10.00 for overseas

-------------------------------------------------------------------
VENDOR STANDARDS:
The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary is
just that, a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the
entire set of ASP standards.
Advertising:
All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware
programs require separate payment to authors if found useful." This
statement must immediately follow the price or be tied to the price
via an asterisk.
Catalogs:
Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware.
The following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
- The fee paid to the vendor is a copying and distribution charge
and does not cover the cost of the program itself.
- If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is
expected to send the registration fee to the author.
- Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits
(depending on the author). These range from the legal right to
continue using the software, to printed documentation and/or
higher levels of service.
Distribution:
- Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution
restrictions made by individual authors, usually found in the
file VENDOR.DOC [this file] on the disk.
- Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts
above with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are pre-
packaged, the notice must be on a visible part of the package.
- Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the
program unless authorized by the author. Small additions
designed to assist the user may be added if the author does not
specifically prohibit such action.
- Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier
versions, if requested by the author.
Again, the above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In
order to distribute PC-FasType products you must agree to abide by
these standards whether you are an ASP member or not. If you are
interested in becoming an ASP-approved vendor, please contact:
Association of Shareware Professionals
Vendor Certification Committee
545 Grover Road
Muskegon, MI 49442-9427
U.S.A.
We strongly recommend you consider becoming an ASP approved
vendor if you have not already done so. The ASP vendor member program
reduces the workload for both authors and vendors alike, and helps
give customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
distribution of Shareware products.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
To those vendors and sysop's given permission to distribute
PC-FasType products, Trendtech Corporation will forward a Vendor
Master or SYSOP Master Distribution disk. Updates will be provided to
non-ASP vendors when registrations can be traced to that organization.
Updates will be offered to other vendors on a case-by-case basis.
