Dear Shareware Vendor....
Welcome to the 14th (September 30, 1995) edition of the JCS Distribution
Author to Vendor (A2V) CD-ROM!
We have been so active processing new and updated programs (135 programs,
the work of 49 authors), we have not changed features in this edition.
We have also implemented jcsm.com, our internet home. Stop in and see us!
To keep the size of this file at a minimum, other files are available in the
main directory:
REQFIXES.TXT - Requests for features/fixes. We will review each
of these and get them to the NEWFEATS,TXT as soon as
possible.
BESTOF.TXT - Description of our spin-off, for sale to end users,
"Best of the Author to Vendor".
CLASSDIR.TXT - Roadmap to our new directory structure
The CD-ROM contains:
a) Class subdirectories, which contain FILES.BBS and LFILES.BBS files (and
now FILES.PCB and LFILES.PCB files for those who need the date format
with "-", rather than "/") for those who wish to directly mount the
CD-ROM. Of interest, the main directory also contains a FILES and
LFILES directory for your convenience. For those wanting a single
file directory, an ALLFILES.TXT and a LNGFILES.TXT file is also available.
LAST ISSUE, we have renamed all of our directories. See CLASSDIR.TXT
for details.
b) A file access routine for disk vendors and user's groups. If an author
has included a version for vendors, and another for BBSs, the access
routine now allows the user to UNZIP the appropriate version.
c) As a courtesy to the Author, and for the convenience of the using
vendor, we have included various SCREEN SHOTS
supplied by the author. These files are available for UNZIPPING and
use as the user sees fit. They are most easily accessed thru the
access routine JCSD.EXE
d) A directory "VBRUN" which contains all three VBRUNXXX files required by
some windows programs.
e) To accomodate those vendors who are also authors, we have published a
set of files in the Business catagory called
"2300+ Shareware Vendors". The files contain the addresses of over 2300
vendors to whom we have sent a CD for at least one of the last 3 issues.
It also contains data on how to send programs to us for publication in
the A2V.
To use the CD-ROM, two options are available......
1. Simply run from the CD-ROM, as is, by:
a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
b: Execute the program JCSD.
c: Follow the prompts.
2. Install the programs and files to your hard disk directories by:
a: Make the CD-ROM drive the current drive.
b: type INSTALL x y where:
x is the hard drive to which you want to install.
y is the drive code of your CD-ROM drive.
NOTE: DO NOT include the ":" with the drive letters
example: INSTALL C F
will install the files to the C: drive from the F: drive.
a subdirectory \JCSD will be created and about 5.0 mb
copied to it. You will be left in the directory created.
c: Execute JCSD
d: At later points, to execute the program, CD \JCSD, and
execute JCSD.
Enjoy the programs, and explain to your customers the requirement to
register the programs found useful! The authors whose works are
contained have paid for the distribution service, and appreciate your
efforts to get their shareware into the hands of individuals who will
register the programs.
Each of the next issues of the A2V will be accumulative, with the previous
issue used as the basis for the new issue. New programs will be added,
and updates will replace previous versions.
