Limited Distribution License:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the exclusive copyright holder for Business Base, CQ Research Corp
authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions. Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the
VENDOR.DOC text file for complete license information.
The Business Base package is defined as containing all the material
listed in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the
PACKING.LST text file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing,
then the package is not complete and distribution is forbidden.
Please contact us to obtain a complete package suitable for
distribution.

and must be distributed as a complete package, without
exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of
all files that are part of the Business Base package.

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o CQ Research Corp prohibits the distribution of outdated
versions of the Business Base package, without written
permission from CQ Research Corp. If the version you
have obtained is over twelve (12) months old, please
contact us to ensure that you have the most current
version.
o Licensee shall not use, copy, rent, lease, sell, modify,
decompile, disassemble, otherwise reverse engineer, or
transfer the licensed program except as provided in this
agreement. Any such unauthorized use shall result in
immediate and automatic termination of this license.

disclosure by the U.S. Government of the computer software
and documentation in this package shall be subject to the
restricted rights applicable to commercial computer

BBS Update Program:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get
them from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc.
This is good because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or
upload files to thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs prefer to obtain
programs directly from the authors. If you would like to obtain
programs directly from us, automatically, then please help us to cover
the cost.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below.
Due to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly
to a large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to
mail updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can
receive updates for an entire year for only $10 per program (this
helps to offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and address
of your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
(preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), the program (or programs) for which
you would like to receive updates, and a check or money order for $10.
for each program (for countries outside of North America please add an
additional $10 per program).
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will
automatically receive any NEW programs which we may release
while their BBS Update Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
expenses in those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program
directly from us. If you have other standard ways to obtain
programs, then you may prefer not to use our BBS Update Program.
Please refer to DESCRIBE.DOC for our mailing address and phone
number. Thank you for your support!
