Distribution Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Limited Distribution License:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for WinPak#1, Rhode Island Soft
Systems authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with
the following restrictions.
o The WinPak#1 package is defined as containing all the
material listed in the PACKING.TXT text file. If any files
listed in the PACKING.TXT text file, or the PACKING.TXT file
itself, are missing, then the package is not complete and
distribution is forbidden. In such an event, please contact
Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. to obtain a complete package
suitable for distribution.
o The WinPak#1 package - including all related program
files and documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any
way (other than that mentioned in the following paragraph)
and must be distributed as a complete package, without
exception. The PACKING.TXT text file contains a list of
all files that are part of the WinPak#1 package.
VENDOR.TXT - Distribution Information Page 1 of 3
o 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 otherwise
unmodified and complete.
o Small additions to the package, such as the introductory
or installation batch files used by many shareware disk
vendors, are acceptable so long as they identify themselves
as being added by the distributor, and not part of WinPak#1.
The files may be archived into a single distribution file
in accordance with the restrictions listed in DESCRIBE.TXT
(ie. archive's filename).
o No price or other compensation may be charged for the WinPak#1
package. A distribution fee may be charged for the cost of the
diskette, shipping, and handling, as long as the total (per disk)
does not exceed US$8.00 in the U.S. and Canada, or US$12.00
Internationally.
o In order to maximize resources, Vendors often provide several
different programs/packages on a single disk -- this is perfectly
acceptable to Rhode Island Soft Systems, Inc. We require that
the WinPak#1 files be bundled in such a way as to be presented
as distinct and separate from those of other packages. Archiving
our distribution files into a single file (in accordance with
guidelines set forth in DESCRIBE.TXT) is a suggested method of
accomplishing this goal.
o Rhode Island Soft Systems prohibits the distribution of
outdated versions of the WinPak#1 package, without written
permission from Rhode Island Soft Systems. If the version
you have obtained is over nine (9) months old, please
contact us to ensure that you have the most current
version. Please see the release date at the top of this file.
o ASP Approved Distributors (including Vendors and BBSs)
in good standing are hereby given permission to distribute
the WinPak#1 package.
o Non-ASP Distributors may distribute WinPak#1 without
requesting permission; however, they must inform Rhode Island
Soft Systems, Inc. of the intent to distribute WinPak#1 (a
post card will suffice) and must cease distribution immediately
upon receipt of a written request from Rhode Island Soft
Systems, Inc. (should we request cessation of distribution).

o The PRINTED User's Guide may not be reproduced in whole or in
part, using any means, without the written permission of Rhode
Island Soft Systems. In other words, the disk-based documentation
may not be distributed in PRINTED (hardcopy) form.
o You may not list any of our products in advertisements, catalogs,
or other literature which describes our products as "FREE SOFTWARE".
Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy" software, it is not free.
o The WinPak#1 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 Rhode Island
Soft Systems.
o Licensee shall not use, c
