Copyright 1993 By PRO DEV Software ProDev*QUOTE Version 5.0
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.
PRO DEV Software 545 Grover Road Muskegon, MI 49442
616-788-2243 (8:00-5:00 M-F Eastern Time) CompuServe PPN: 72617,1266
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
Disk 2:
VERSION5.0 QUOTEDOC.EXE FILE_ID.DIZ VENDOR.DOC QUIKSTRT.DOC
FILE_ID.DIZ README.DOC
Copyright 1993 By PRO DEV Software ProDev*QUOTE Version 5.0
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,

Catalog Descriptions
1. One Liner Description
(disk set #) ProDev*QUOTE 5.0 - Extremely full featured quote/bid
system for any type or size business [ASP] $70 registration.
2. Complete Description
(disk set #) ProDev*QUOTE Version 5.0 [ASP] is an excellent full
featured Quotation or Bid Estimating system for any type or size
business. Consulting services can even use the Auto Labor feature to
create labor only quotes without material, or any combination in
between. An unlimited number of Labor Groups can be associated with
any quotation. Includes actual cost tracking. Using dBASE compatible
files for the Supplier, Labor and Material costs, you can browse the
material data base 4 different ways with a Point & Shoot browse method
to rapidly build a customized quote. The latest in pull-down menus
and constant on-screen and F1 Help "what to do next" instructions make
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
items in your data base and optionally print them on the quote.
Material items can also carry automatic multi-rate labor units so that
labor can optionally be pulled in with the selected material items.
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
a registration price of only $70 this is a BEST BUY. Registrants
receive the registered disk(s) and a 112 page printed bound manual
as well as 1 year of free technical support.
