VENDINFO Tools and Services Registration
+--------------------------------+
| REGISTRATION OF VENDINFO TOOLS |
+--------------------------------+
REGISTRATION
------------
You may register for any of the VENDINFO tools or services by com-
pleting the form found later in this document, and sending it to us
in either hardcopy or electronic form.
When you register VendEdit or VendPrcs, you acquire a license to use
the current version indefinitely, as well as any minor maintenance
upgrades to that version. You will receive the current version by
mail, but will not automatically receive updates (see "Auto-Upgrade
Plan", below). Major upgrades (new features) will require payment of
an additional fee, or participation in the Auto-Upgrade Plan. This
"unbundling" has been done to minimize the cost of the basic toolset
while still covering the ongoing costs of the VENDINFO system (such
as handling of Product Registry materials).
COST SAVINGS
------------
There are a number of additional VENDINFO products and services
available. You can obtain them at a reduced rate if you sign up for
them at the same time as your initial registration, since this
reduces our processing costs.
AUTO-UPGRADE PLAN
-----------------
Participation in the Auto-Upgrade Plan will allow you to receive all
new releases of your registered tools by mail for one year (or four
mailings, whichever comes first). This includes both minor main-
tenance upgrades and major upgrades (with any necessary new keys to
allow you to use them).
Authors will want to subscribe to this service, because lots of new
features are planned for VendEdit. The new features planned for
VendPrcs are less extensive, but distributors will want to be sure
they have them early, so they can handle any new versions of the
VENDINFO records as soon as they appear. Even single-line, noncommer-
cial BBSes (which pay no fee to use VendPrcs) may want to subscribe

to this service to insure that they always have the current tools.
PRODUCT REGISTRY SUBSCRIPTIONS
------------------------------
Authors are encouraged to send their VENDINFO records to our central
Product Registry (see VendEdit documentation for details). These will
be made available to subscribing distributors immediately, and will
also be available for custom queries by distributors and users by
Spring 1994 (details for custom queries are still being worked out).
Serious distributors will be interested in full-service subscriptions
to the Product Registry data, by mail, on-line access, or both. These
services begin in January 1994, and will provide access to all VEN-
DINFO records and various other information.
The mail subscription entitles you to monthly packages containing all
received VENDINFO records (the first package will contain the com-
plete set to-date). Due to media costs, these packages will not
include screen shots (contact us if you want to work out a subscrip-
tion arrangement that includes them).
BBS subscriptions will provide on-line access to all records, includ-
ing screen shots. When our VendPrcs Plus program is ready, it will
allow off-line query preparation and very efficient on-line sessions
(as well as many other useful features). BBS subscribers will be
required to purchase and use that tool when it's ready (late Spring
1994, $75-100), but will be able to access the Registry using a
normal communication program until that time.
Early subscribers to either service will receive several months' free
access. The clock won't actually start on subscription charges until
at least April 1994, but the services will begin immediately on
receipt of payment.
VENDINFO COFFEE MUGS
--------------------
Several people asked us to make available the VENDINFO coffee mugs we
showed at the 1993 Summer Shareware Seminar, so we've added them to
the list. They're rather nice, and we'll be happy to discuss shirts,
mouse pads, baseball caps, etc., if anyone's interested. These items
are subject to continuing availability.

SITE LICENSES
-------------
Site, corporate, and network licenses are available for the VENDINFO
tools. Contact us for details.
REGISTRATION BY E-MAIL
----------------------
If we receive your registration form by some form of secure e-mail
(e.g., CompuServe e-mail, FidoNet crash mail) and you ask us to do
so, we will send your registration keys by the same mechanism, for
fast registration. We reserve the right to add a small fee for this
(not more than $4.00), but our current policy is to charge no fee
except for international FidoNet crash mail.
ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PAYMENT
---------------------------
All orders must be prepaid, by Visa, MasterCard, checks payable in
U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank, certified bank drafts drawn in
the hard currency of the issuing bank, American Express money orders,
U.S. or International postal money orders, or cash in a hard cur-
rency. (Rams' Island Software takes no responsibility if you send
cash, and suggests that if you do so the order be sent by registered
mail.)
REGISTERED VERSIONS KEYED TO COMPANY NAME
-----------------------------------------
Please be sure you fill out the registration form completely and
legibly. In particular, write your company name exactly as you wish
it to be reflected in VENDINFO records you produce with VendEdit, or
in "Distribution Terms" outputs you produce with VendPrcs. The
registration keys for both tools are based on your company name.
