9. Vendor distribution :
UK-Elect Release 2.00 is normally supplied to shareware
vendors in compressed self-extracting form. A simple
installation batch file is also included on the disk; this
may be replaced by the vendor's own preferred installation
routine.
UK-Elect has been compressed using Yoshi's LHA program.
Shareware vendors and sysops may compress UK-Elect using
their own preferred program (e.g. PKZIP). Where UK-Elect is
split across two disks it is recommended that the maps (.MAP
and .MPI files) are contained in one archive, and everything
else in the other.
10. BBS distribution :
UK-Elect Release 2.00 is normally supplied in a single
archive file. BBS sysops may compress UK-Elect using their
own preferred program (e.g. PKZIP). The preferred name for a
zip file is UKEL200.ZIP
11. Thanks :
Many thanks to all the vendors who stock UK-Elect, and to
all BBS sysops who include it.
12. A final thought :
I'm pleased to see the interest being taken in UK-Elect (it
is being given maximum rating by many of the largest
vendors) and the increasing space given to advertising it.
Don't forget that the Prime Minister's future may depend on
this years (1994's) local and European election results.
There's bound to be HUGE interest in them. May you satisfy
many customers..
Tim Bickerstaff, February 1994
