This file provides information for shareware disk vendors and user
groups on the distribution of 4OS2.
We are glad to work with you in the distribution of our product, as user
groups and disk vendors are an important part of the shareware distribu-
tion system.
Before placing 4OS2 or any part of the 4OS2 package in any shareware or
other disk library, or distributing shareware copies for a fee in any
way, you must meet one of these conditions:
* If you are a U.S.-based shareware disk vendor, you must be an ap-
proved member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP),
and your application must be fully approved in writing by the ASP,
not simply submitted or awaiting review. If you are not an ASP mem-
ber, we cannot currently offer you permission to distribute our prod-
ucts. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we
have found that the administrative overhead required to handle non-
ASP vendors from within the U.S. is simply too high.
* If you are a U.S.-based, non-profit, tax-exempt user group, you may
place a shareware copy of 4OS2 in your library without prior permis-
sion, provided you obtain a diskette copy from another vendor (not a
downloaded copy), and notify us in writing within 15 days of doing
so. You can also obtain a copy directly from JP Software; please
contact us for details.
* If you are a disk vendor based outside the U.S., you must either be
an ASP member, or you must obtain prior written permission from us
before distributing 4OS2.
If you meet one of these criteria and would like to carry 4OS2, you may
obtain it from another vendor if the other vendor has received their
copy directly from us. If you prefer to distribute shareware obtained
directly from the author, please write us and we will send you 4OS2 on
diskette at no charge. In either case, please send us a copy of your
catalog for our files.
PLEASE NOTE: JP SOFTWARE DOES NOT PERMIT RETAIL RACK DISTRIBUTION OF
4OS2 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If you use retail racks, please do NOT
contact us for approval of rack distribution, as it will be denied! CD-
ROM DISTRIBUTION IS ALSO PROHIBITED without our express, written permis-
sion, and new permission is required for each new release. These prohi-
bitions apply even if you are distributing diskette copies of one or
more of our products, or have distributed our products via rack or CD-
ROM in the past.
Non-ASP vendors who wish to consider becoming ASP approved can obtain
information from:
