- As the exclusive copyright holder for ColorDOS, KroTek Electronics
- 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 ColorDOS package is defined as containing all the material listed in
- Appendix B of the COLORDOS.DOC text file. If any files listed in the
- Appendix B, or the COLORDOS.DOC 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.
-
- o The ColorDOS package - including all related program files and

- that mentioned in the following paragraph) and must be
- distributed as a complete package, without exception. Appendix A
- of the COLORDOS.DOC text file contains a list of all files that
- are part of the ColorDOS 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.

- 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).
-
- The BBS Update Program is available for the following products (as of
- March, 1993):
-
- ColorDOS
-
- 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.
-
- Thank you for your support!

- Please use the following discriptions for the ColorDOS package:
-
-
- Filename: colord15.zip (or appropriate extension)
-
- Short: (37 chars)
- DOS prompt multi colorization utility
-
- Long: (495 chars)
- ColorDOS generates a unique prompt drive letter color and a different
- text color for each drive in your system. Also, each subdirectory in the
- prompt can have its own color. This gives instant visual recognition of
- how many directories from the root directory you are and gives the
- command line an extreamly pleasing appearance. All options are set using
- an excellent setup program and load automatically. 4DOS compatible.
- Outputs ansi.sys escape seq for different text color on each drive if
- required.
