  16.     This file provides information for the distribution of shareware         
  17.     copies of AS-EASY-AS. Please note that this policy is for anyone         
  18.     distributing shareware copies of AS-EASY-AS for profit.                  
  19.                                                                              
  20.     We require that you obtain written permission from us before             
  21.     placing AS-EASY-AS in any commercial library, unless you have been       
  22.     approved by the Association of Shareware Professionals and have          
  23.     notified us that you wish to distribute AS-EASY-AS.                      
  24.                                                                              
  25.     Please note that before we can send you a copy of AS-EASY-AS  and        
  26.     give you permission to distribute it, we require that you meet ONE       
  27.     of the following conditions:                                             
  28.                                                                              
  29.     1. Send us a copy of your standard written materials                     
  30.        (catalogs, flyers, ads, etc.) which clearly explain the               
  31.        shareware concept, the need for users to register shareware           
  32.        products they use, and the fact that the price of your                
  33.        disks, that the user pays to you, is a copying fee ONLY and           
  34.        does not constitute payment for the product.  The material            
  35.        must also clearly differentiate between Shareware and                 
  36.        Public Domain software.                                               
  37.                                                                              
  38.        It is not sufficient to tell us that you explain these                
  39.        issues to customers in person, it must be clearly                     
  40.        reflected in your written materials.                                  
  41.                                                                              
  42.     2. Become an Approved Vendor of the Association of Shareware             
  43.        Professionals (ASP).  For more information on the ASP                 
  44.        vendor program, contact the ASP at:

  50.                                                                              
  51.       If you have not already done so, we strongly recommend that            
  52.       you become an ASP approved vendor.  The ASP vendor program             
  53.       provides an important service for both authors and vendors,            
  54.       and gives customers confidence that reasonable standards are           
  55.       met in the distribution of shareware products.                         
  56.                                                                              
  57.     We find it necessary to insist on meeting one of the two conditions,     
  58.     stated above, in order to qualify for shareware distribution of          
  59.     AS-EASY-AS.  Widespread confusion about shareware and the              
  60.     occasionally troublesome practices of some vendors unfortunately         
  61.     force us to do so.   We look forward to working with you in the          
  62.     future.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions        
  63.     on our product or our policies.
