The copying restrictions listed in this file apply to any
individual, organization, user group, or business that charges ANY fee
for the distribution of the Shareware program PC-FASTYPE produced by
Trendtech Corporation. PC-FASTYPE and its associated typing exercise
files, documentation, and help files is NOT in the public domain. All
programs and data files are Copyright 1990 by Trendtech Corporation,
Inc., Wayne, New Jersey, U.S.A. PC-FASTYPE is a trademark of
Trendtech Corporation, Inc. Distribution restriction rights are
claimed under that copyright and are outlined below.
- No organization may sell the Shareware version of PC-FASTYPE without
prior written permission from Trendtech Corporation, Inc., the
copyright holder. To apply for such permission send a written request

PC-FASTYPE Distribution
P.O. Box 3687

Vendor standards expected of distributors will be forwarded for
your examination and agreement. These standards are summarized in
this file. Under no condition will permission to distribute be given
to any organization who does not agree to follow the standards. The
vendor standards are based on those established for vendor associate
members of the Association of Shareware Professionals. ASP vendor
members will be granted permission to distribute PC-FASTYPE; if you
are already a member of ASP, please mention it in your request for
distribution.
- PC-FASTYPE, when listed in vendors' catalogs, advertisements,
brochures, mailers, etc. must be named "PC-FASTYPE" and not some
other pseudonym like "Typing Tutor", "Touchtype", "Typing Teacher",
or just "Fastype". Use of any other name than "PC-FASTYPE" will
constitute cause for revocation of vendor's distribution rights.
- PC-FASTYPE, when listed in vendor's catalogs, advertisements,
brochures, mailers, etc. must include the requirement for color
graphics, usually expressed as "requires CGA".
- The PC-FASTYPE program and files may not be sold as part of some
other more inclusive package without the express written permission
of Trendtech Corporation.
- PC-FASTYPE must not be distributed with other Shareware or public
domain programs on the same disk. However, PC-FASTYPE may be
included in libraries sold on CD-ROM disks.
- Under no conditions will PC-FASTYPE be "rented" or leased to others.
- Printed copies of the exercise files and User Guide may not be
distributed in any form without a license from Trendtech
Corporation.
- Any distribution of PC-FASTYPE over bulletin boards and/or national
telecommunication services will be limited to distributing a single
archived file containing the contents of the entire distribution
disk and NO charge above the standard charge for connect time will
be allowed.
The Single-User Registration Fee for PC-FASTYPE is $25.00 in U.S.
Funds. Shipping and Handling is an additional $3.00 for domestic
customers, $5.00 for Canada customers, and $10.00 for overseas
customers. Payment may be with VISA or MASTERCARD, postal money
order, and checks, in which the amount must be expressed in U.S. Funds
and drawn on a U.S. Bank. Authorized Purchase Orders will be accepted
for all licenses.

The following is a summary of ASP vendor standards. This summary is
just that, a summary, and is not to be taken as a statement of the
entire set of ASP standards.
Advertising:
All vendor advertisements and brochures must state that "Shareware
programs require separate payment to authors if found useful." This
statement must immediately follow the price or be tied to the price
via an asterisk.
Catalogs:
Vendors will attempt to educate users on the nature of Shareware.
The following points must be covered in any catalog of disks:
- The fee paid to the vendor is a copying and distribution charge
and does not cover the cost of the program itself.
- If the user finds a Shareware program to be of use, he/she is
expected to send the registration fee to the author.
- Registration entitles the user to various rights and benefits
(depending on the author). These range from the legal right to
continue using the software, to printed documentation and/or
higher levels of service.
Distribution:
- Vendors will respect the copyright and all distribution
restrictions made by individual authors, usually found in the
file VENDOR.DOC [this file] on the disk.
- Vendors will provide a written notice covering the three concepts
above with all Shareware programs shipped. If disks are pre-
packaged, the notice must be on a visible part of the package.
- Vendors will not change or delete ANY files supplied with the
program unless authorized by the author. Small additions
designed to assist the user may be added if the author does not
specifically prohibit such action.
- Vendors agree to stop distributing a program, including earlier
versions, if requested by the author.
Again, the above is a SUMMARY of the ASP vendor standards. In
order to distribute PC-FASTYPE you must agree to abide by these
standards whether you are an ASP member or not. If you are interested
in becoming an ASP-approved vendor, please contact:
Association of Shareware Professionals
Vendor Certification Committee
P.O. Box 5786
Bellevue, WA 98006
We strongly recommend that you consider becoming an ASP approved
vendor if you have not already done so. The ASP vendor member program
reduces the workload for both authors and vendors alike, and helps
give customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in the
distribution of Shareware products.

To those organizations given permission to distribute PC-FASTYPE,
Trendtech Corporation will forward a master disk keyed to that
organization. Automatic updates will be provided to organizations
when registrations can be traced to that organization. Updates will be
offered to other approved organizations on a fee basis to cover the
costs of distribution.

PC-FASTYPE is produced by Trendtech Corporation, a member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure
that the Shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a Shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting
the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not
provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the
ASP Ombudsman at P.O. Box 5786, Bellevue, WA 98006 or send a
CompuServe message via Easyplex to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
