- │ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
- │ │
- │ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
- │ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
- │ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
- │ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
- │ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
- │ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
- │ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
- │ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
- │ │
- │ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
- │ │
- │ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
- │ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
- │ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
- │ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
- │ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │
