- Vendor Encouragements And Restrictions 08/01/93
-
- This document contains PRO DEV Software's message to Disk Copying and
- Bulletin Board Services. This release combines the 2 Utility programs
- QBROWSE and QTRACK into the basic QUOTE.EXE program. The repackaging
- moves all documentation to the second disk. If you wish to package both
- disks onto one 720k, 1.2m or 1.44m disk, just copy the QUOTEDOC.EXE file
- onto the first disk. The INSTALL program will automatically detect this.
-
- First of all, thank you for carrying my Shareware software in your Disk
- Copying Service catalog or on your Bulletin Board Service. You are a
- vital link in the Shareware distribution process.
-
- You MAY . . .
-
- 1. This on-disk letter authorizes you to include the enclosed 2
- ProDev*QUOTE Version 5.0 disks of Shareware software in your Shareware
- Cataloging and Disk Copying Service. This is a non-exclusive
- authorization. Further, this on-disk letter notifies you that you may
- NOT continue to distribute ProDev*QUOTE software with any version
- number lower than Version 5.0. If you receive a copy with the file
- REGISTER.MEM, you MUST delete this file to make the disk
- un-registered.
-
- 2. You may sell disks containing copies of this software as long as you
- do NOT imply to your customers that this is "free" software. It is
- best if your catalogs make it clear that this is Shareware software
- that the end user must register with PRO DEV Software to continue
- using beyond the evaluation stage. You may add your own files to this
- disk as long as none of them give any impression that this Shareware
- software is "free". If you list the registration fees in your
- catalog, DO NOT use words like "Donation", "Contribution", or other
- such words. It is a REGISTRATION FEE or COST of $70.
-
- 3. If you are a Disk Copying or Bulletin Board Service and you obtained
- this software from other than PRO DEV Software, you may not have the
- latest version. You are encouraged to write or call PRO DEV Software
- and ask for the latest version.

-
- 4. The 2 disks must contain the following files:
- Disk 1:
- VERSION5.0 QUOTPROG.EXE QUOTEDAT.EXE PRINTERS.EXE INSTALL.EXE
- VENDOR.DOC QUIKSTRT.DOC REGISTER.DOC FILE_ID.DIZ README.DOC
-

-
- 5. If you are a Disk Copying Service, please do not further compress the
- above files. You may add your identifying and instruction files.
- Naturally, a BBS operator will compress the entire system as required.
- If you sell collections on 1.4m disks, this system can be combined
- with other products as long as ProDev*QUOTE is in its own sub-directory.
-
- 6. You may NOT replace any of the LHARCed or SCRNCHed files with another
- form of archiving, packing or ziping. If you are a BBS, you may
- archive/pack/zip the files WITHOUT first unLHARCing or unSCRNCHing
- the files. This is because my INSTALL program expects the LHARCed
- and SCRNCHed files.
-
- 7. If you are a Rack vendor or CD-ROM producer, you CAN place this
- shareware on racks or CDs. You do NOT need to get further permission
- but it is a good idea to contact Pro Dev Software for the latest
- version.
-
- I also encourage you to give this full featured system the write-up it
- deserves in your catalog. The last page gives my "unbiased" {grin}
- suggested catalog descriptions. I really get discouraged when I see
- catalogs that just say "ProDev*QUOTE Quote/Bid system". It is really a
- powerful, low registration fee system that is currently being used by all
- types and sized business from small contractors to consultants to at least
- 1 Fortune 100 company.
-
- Again, thank you for carrying my Shareware software.
-
- Very truly yours,

- the system highly intuitive to learn and use. You can use the system's
- natural defaults to build simple quotes or use all of the many bells
- and whistles to build complex quotes. The stand-alone program does NOT
- require the user to own Borland's dBASE III Plus or dBASE IV systems.
-
- To support your sales efforts, you can print complete catalogs of your
- products and services with either your prices, List prices or both.
- You can even include unlimited sized Specifications for the material

- You can place notes anywhere in the quote as desired. Sub-assemblies
- can be rapidly merged to a quote to save time and increase accuracy.
- When modifying a large quote, you can instantly jump to any item. At
